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.

Wonderfull chef and person! - Najla is one of the most amazing people we have met in marrakech. If you want to do a fun but delicious cooking lesson it is a must!! Najla is also a wonderfull person and talks enthousiastic with everyone. She has rally good vibes and is happy to explain everything from the cookinglessons too the way Marrakech works. It is really nice to have someone who is fair with you and tells you all the tips and tricks. If you have some days in Marrakech I would recommend to plan this as soon as possible! It is a wonderfull experience.

Fantastic Fantastic Experience - Najla was fantastic! She walked us from one shop to another to purchase fresh ingredients and then back to her home to explain tea making and we had tea before starting the class! She also had things for sale that we purchased elsewhere for more so if you’re looking for a tajine, spices, fragrance bars, akar fassi lip color wait for the class to purchase. She can give tips on how much things should cost etc. I would highly recommend this class!!

Delightful morning to treasure - What a wonderful morning to treasure. Thank you Najla for sharing so much useful, practical information with us and for introducing fascinating Moroccan culture over the pot of mint ( green) tea. We were a group of 12 friends. Some love cooking but others were just there to participate. We all found this session a real fun. The food we have cooked together was so delicious. One of the best activities we did in Marrakech.

Great Cooking Class in a Lovely Home - Coooking with Najla was such a joy. This young woman has a lot of energy and positivity and made the class fun and very informative. We made about 5 or 6 different dishes, a mix of tagines, vegan dishes and sides. Everything was delicious and I learned a lot from her. Would definitely come back to do this experience again when I’m in Marrakesh!

Cooking with Najla - Such a lovely way to end our trip. Najla was a fantastic host and teacher. Full of information about the ingredients, cooking but also culture of Marrakech & Morroco. It was a fantastic location in her home giving an even more authentic feel & she gave us lots of good advice and tips. Loved the experience and best bit of all we got to eat it at the end. Can highly recommend

Exciting cooking class in a warm atmosphere - It was one of my Highlights during my Trip to Marrakech. Najla is very welcoming and gave us beside the insides of the Moroccan cuisine tips for places to buy fresh spices and ceramics. I really reccomend her class.

Well worth doing - a highlight of a trip to Morocco! - Naj was great! Very friendly, very informative and a great cook. Naj had the group of us working well together and it was a lot of fun! Not expensive and worth every penny! We'd do it again!

Authentic moroccan cooking - Great fun. Going down to the market was cool, and Najla is a very entertaining host. Nice mix of Moroccan foods. My only comment is that because a group of us made a big meal for everyone to share, each person only does a small amount eg mix meatballs, chop vegetables - so unless you pay attention you won't learn everything- but we receive the recipes after too :)
