Additional Information

Before commencing the course, we’ll acquire the necessary items not from a supermarket, but local shops near my residence. From there we’ll proceed to my home.

The beginning of our culinary journey will see me introducing you to the art of preparing traditional Moroccan tea. Post that, as we indulge in delightful Moroccan treats like cookies and cakes, there’ll be time for us to familiarize ourselves with each other.

The culinary spread we’ll be creating includes appetizers and main dishes.

I’ll guide you in detail through every stage of the cooking process, sharing with you my distinctive cooking methods and a special blend of herbs and spices. Our aim will be to concoct the most genuine Moroccan feast you’ve ever savored.

Note: Lessons in the afternoon won’t include shopping as availability of fresh vegetables is uncertain. I’ll be procuring these earlier for such classes. If you wish to partake in the shopping experience, kindly schedule a session in the morning.

The perfect addition to our trip! - We had so much fun doing this class! Naijla is lovely and clearly knows a lot about what she is doing. She made the hours fly by and the food we made was absolutely incredible. She also gave us tips and recommendations for the rest of our time in Marrakech!

Fun cooking - She was fun, knowledgeable and explained why we did things. The market was close so we did not waste time walking a long way. The food was all delicious and everyone participated in making the meal instead of everyone making their own.

A Gem! Must do! - What an amazing experience! I can’t say enough about this one of a kind cooking class! Najla was by far the best hostess and teacher we could have asked for! True immersion bringing us into her home and showing us her hidden gems! She took time with us at lunch to share the best places to shop!

Great experience of home cooking - I loved the cooking clas with Najila. She has a great ability in the kitchen and is funny, warm and engaging. We were late as got lost and Najila helped by talking to the taxi driver and telling him where to go. I really enjoyed the shopping trip to the local shops for truly fresh ingredients including chicken that was delivered live to the butcher shop! The cooking took place in Najila's beautiful home and with all hands on deck we prepared two main dishes and a variety of sides. Everything was delicious. Thank you Najila for a lovely and interedting morning.

It was absolutely worth it!!! - We received a very warm welcome from Najila. Then we went together to the vendors on her street. The chicken couldn't have been fresher. 🙈 While cooking, Najila explained everything in detail. The group was great and we had a lot of fun.
