Unmissable experience in Morocco - This is the best experience and the highlight of our trip to Morocco!! If you don't do anything else on your trip make sure you do this! The hospitality is unparalleled and you genuinely feel like you've been invited to a friend's home for the best lunch/dinner you'll ever have. It's well set up and you learn a lot about the culture along with having the best mint tea and food. The course is carefully guided and curated and you are given printed recipe cards to take home and a lovely diploma showing off your newly earned cooking skills We made bread from scratch, 2 salads, 2 tagines and dessert in 3 hours. The class is organised with translators (in our case we had the owner's lovely daughter who was the best host and translator we could have asked for ). She was incredibly kind and knowledgeable and we had a lively conversation about culture. You get to eat everything you've cooked in the most wonderful homely experience and they even sent us home with lots of presents! I simply could not recommend this enough and we will be back in Marrakech simply to do this again.

The best experience of my holiday! - Beautiful location in the owner’s own house. Lovely people who spoke Arabic, French and English. Great chef who showed us the art of Moroccan cooking and helped us along the way! Delicious menu of bread, salads, tagines and pancakes which we prepared and ate for lunch. Also learnt how to make proper Moroccan mint tea! A wonderful experience which I would highly recommend. Wish I’d bought the apron!

A real Moroccan cooking experience! - This Moroccan cooking school is the real thing. Starting with a traditional Moroccan tea ceremony, you get to know your hosts in their beautiful home. From learning about all of important spices, to making your own bread and tangine, you will come away with a wealth of practical knowledge and skill to be able to recreate these dishes back at home. It was fun and very enjoyable for all in our group, from age 11 to 78. The owners and hosts are kind and knowledgeable, speak excellent English and truly love what they are doing.

SO UNIQUE AND AUTHENTIC!! - Such an intimate and authentic experience…we were welcomed into their home where we had discussions, drank fresh tea and were taught how to cook traditional moroccan meals. I personally am an awful cook but felt very supported and was able to create delicious food with such great ingredients. Everyone was very friendly and easy to communicate with as there was one of the ladies spoke perfect english. Her and Rashida were awesome, but loved everyone
