Wonderful experience! - We had a great time! Badr, our guide, was extremely kind and friendly. He gave us a tour of the market in the Medina and the beautiful Riad Taha where we had delicious Maroccan tea. Fatiha and Badr showed us how to prepare tajine, shakshuka and baba ganoush which was delicious! Badr told us about life in Marocco and we were able to ask many questions. Thank you so much for your time, expertise and company, Badr and Fatiha!

What a pleasure! - It was easy and enjoyable from begin to end. It was very helpful to be picked up at our Riad for this experience. We arrived and went straight to the Medina to shop. It was informative and fun to shop in the Medina for our cooking needs with Badr. When we got to the Riad, we had tea and then we were shown what to do and got to work with Ms. Fatiha. We learned new ways to prepare vegetables (graded tomatoes). We made a chicken tajine and a few salads (carrot salad, Baba Ganoush, and Tchaktouka). We really enjoyed cooking with Fatiha and Badr. It was an intimate learning experience, as it was just my husband and I. The proof that she is both a good cook and teacher-the meal was fantastic! It was also straightforward enough to replicate. I’ll be making this and showing off at home! We highly recommend this experience!

Do it! You won’t regret it - Loved this experience! Badr, our most friendly and knowledgeable guide, took us through the Medina to grab ingredients, which was such a fun way to start our cooking class— a great way to experience the marketplace. Badr was also very gracious in sharing with us the rich Moroccan history and culture. Afterwards, Fatiha taught us how to make tagine and baba ganoush. What an expert! It was so much fun to see the whole process of making these amazing traditional dishes. An unforgettable experience, thank you Badr and Fatiha!!

Unforgettable Experience with Great People - This was definitely an unforgettable experience and the highlight of our stay in Fez. Badr was an amazing host and he made us feel welcomed and comfortable the entire time. We had so much fun shopping for ingredients in the medina and Badr was very helpful in explaining to us many different things. At the riad he even offered us Moroccan tea and showed us around the riad and the rooftop terrace which had a spectacular view. The cooking experience was very intimate (it was just us, our host Badr and chef Fatiha) - it felt like we were all cooking together and Fatiha (chef) taught us so much about Moroccan cooking. The food turned out to be the best I had in Fez and there was a LOT of food. Thank you Badr and Fatiha for the wonderful time!

Would highly recommend this cooking class - Badr was an amazing guide and host during the day. He showed us the authentic local way of collecting food for the tagine on the market. Together with the most kind chef he showed us how to make the best tagine and many side dishes we ate during our stay in Marroc. The riad was really beautiful. I would highly recommend this experience.

Great activity in Fes! - This was a great experience for me and my husband. We were promptly picked up close to our riad by Mohammed and taken to the local grocery market where we met Badr who guided us the rest of the trip. Badr took us through the market and allowed us to pick the kinds of vegetables and fruits we would want in our tajine. We eventually made it to a cute riad close by where we began cooking with one of the chefs there. We had a chance to make the entire meal ourselves after some initial guidance. The food tasted amazing and it was really simple to do. I would highly recommend this activity.

Great cooking class in the Medina - The cooking class was perfect for our group of four! Badr was a great host. He took us through the market and helped us pick out fresh produce, meat, and spices. Then we went back to their Riad and they walked us through cooking tagine and a variety of salads before being served a display of fresh fruits for dessert. You could help as little or as much as you wanted.

Shop like a local and feast like a king - Great way to experience Fes. Tour began with a walk through the Medina to purchase ingredients to use for lunch. Seeing a live chicken prepared was certainly unique. Definitely come hungry because a lot of food will be prepared!

Amazing lunch experience in Fez - Cooking with local residents - We helped to cook a really amazing lunch in a beautiful Riad. Houndir is a very knowledgeable local guide who seemed to know everyone! He picked us up (dad and 14 year old son) then we walked to a local market to buy all the food for the dishes we agreed to make. We learned a few new kitchen tricks - even different ways to cut and prepare veg that we were familiar with. All very enjoyable and memorable. A great meal at the end. All very relaxed. No rush. We only booked the night before, so also felt very lucky to have been able to have this unusual experience. A really different way to get to know Fez and it's people.
