Wonderful

“I highly recommend this cooking class, as we had such a wonderful time doing it. Everything was perfectly organized and the food was delicious. We learned a lot – not just about marrocan food, but also about culture and everyday life. It felt more like cooking with friends, than taking a cooking class. The number of participants is small (we were a group of 4). On top of a great meal in perfect company, they even got a huge bundle of different spices for us. Can’t wait to cook the Tajine on my own back at home!”

Highly recommend! Great with kids!

“What a wonderful experience. Our family of three joined two other families for a large cooking class. Everyone had room to prep and eat…all had lots of fun! My six year old was included in the prep work and even this picky eater loved the food! Meryem gave us the recipes and recommendations to replicate the meal at home. I highly recommend!”

A highlight of our trip

“An amazing way to end our holiday. I’ve done a lot of these sort of cooking classes and this was one of the best. It was enlightening and we learnt a lot about Morrocan cuisine. We made the best chicken tagine I’ve ever tasted too. Also had the chance to buy some spices from them at the end”

A highlight of our trip. A must do in Marrakech

“Our tour guide is an absolute legend. We loved this tour. There were so many stops and we tried so many things we never would have gone near otherwise. Great way to start our trip. Make sure you arrive on this tour very hungry as there’s a lot of food! All of it was good though. A highlight of our trip!”
