We are a family of 4 (kids both 10yrs) that participated in a cooking class with Yassine and family and we had a ball! The food we cooked was better than we have had in restaurants around Morocco and Yassine provided insight to not only cook great Moroccan food, but also to Moroccan culture. To top it off, Yassine took us to his 'Spice Man' in the Medina on the way home so we could stock up on the same spices that we used in the class plus more. It was a great experience and highly recommended

Yassine was a lovely...

Manon_D, Apr 2024

Yassine was a lovely teacher-chef, patient, happy and clear communicator. His mother also helped and created an authentic atmosphere. We had a lovely day cooking tajines and cous cous!

Great food and company

Antonio_C, Apr 2024

Yassine is great! The entire experience from start to finish is wonderful. You have over 12 dishes to choose from and you get to go to a local market to purchase the ingredients. This was a highlight from my trip to Fes

Experience authentic Moroccan food in a home setting

Cherrill_L, Mar 2024

Well before our class, we were contacted by Yassine and asked to choose 2 dishes to make on the day. There was a really good selection. We opted to be picked up and dropped off at our Riad for a small extra charge. This was a sensible move as the lesson takes place in Yassine’s apartment and it would have been very difficult to find otherwise. The kitchen was spotless. All the ingredients and equipment that we needed were out ready. Yassine instructed us in the preparation and cooking of our Moroccan dishes. The final results and presentation was checked by his mum which was quite amusing! Afterwards we were rewarded with a very tasty lunch followed by orange slices with cinnamon and freshly made mint tea. Yassine sent us our recipes later by WhatsApp with very detailed instructions so that we can confidently reproduce the authentic tastes of Morocco at home. The best things about our cookery course were the excellent communication before and after, Yassine’s patient instruction and good organisation and the great tasting food that resulted.

Great experience

Sunyea_N, Mar 2024

Excellent cooking class. We learnt how to make a tagine and cous cous. We were also given the recipe so we can make the dish. Was a lovely experience and would recommend

Fun experience, authentic Moroccan cooking

Robert_B, Mar 2024

We enjoyed our cooking class (as well as the resulting food) with Yassine and would definitely recommend the experience. We chose to make the beef/prune tagine and zaalouk dishes. It was really interesting seeing how these dishes are made authentically in Morocco, as opposed to from recipes in cook books. Yassine was very organised, knowledgeable and great company.

Great experience and a lot of fun!

Home cooking with Nassim...

Niamh_F, Feb 2024

Home cooking with Nassim and his sister …what a fabulous experience for our boys. And great food ! Thankyou to you and your family .

The absolute best!!!

Alex_S, Jan 2024

Truly the best, most authentic experience we had in Morocco. Yassine and his family are so kind, welcoming and lovely!! It was a pleasure to spend the evening with them learning how to make typical Moroccan food. Not only that - but Yassine went above and beyond to take us to the spot inside the Medina where he buys his spices when we asked him so that we could go home with the same spices we learned to use. Truly a memorable and extremely wonderful experience. 10/10 would recommend.

Personal marocan experience

Lena_B, Dec 2023

Really enjoyed the cooking class and especially the food afterwards. Yassine and his wife were super kind and helpful with everything and made sure I have special experience. Thanks again!

Incredible experience!

Katherine_K, Dec 2023

What an amazing experience! Welcomed with open arms, we had a great family experience cooking and learning about Morocco! If you’re in Fes, this is a must-do item!

Fantastic Cooking Experience!

Jonathan_F, Nov 2023

Yassine was a great host for the cooking course, we had a lot of fun learning how to cook Moroccan cuisine with him, he was super knowledgeable and gave us a great insight into the culture of Fes. He showed me that I've been using a potato peeler wrong my whole life, that tip alone was worth the price of the course! The end result was really tasty - we'll definitely be cooking Tagine at home! Afterwards, he recommended the spice shop where he gets his spices from, he phoned up the owner who kept the shop open for us, it was great, we even got a taxi there to the Medina with his mamma. Overall fantastic experience, great guy and we'd fully recommend this to anyone!

Great food! Great Experience! Would cook with them again!

Christopher_N, Nov 2023

I had been in Morocco for about a week when I finally did the cooking class. I had had multiple dishes of Kafta and Tagines throughout my trip but it was so much better when I cooked it myself. The others in my session were great! I would definitly recommend this cooking class!

Moroccan cooking class

Gail_B, Nov 2023

We had a great time! Yassine was incredibly nice, and the dinner tasted delicious! We got to see the sunset from his rooftop, which was beautiful. Yassine also got us transport to and from our riad, and he arranged for transport for our flights the next day as well.

Authentic cooking experience

Joel_R, Oct 2023

Hosts are very friendly and welcoming. Authentic experience in a home. Food was delicious. Highly recommend.

Home cooking while abroad!

Lauren_S, Oct 2023

Yassine communicated before the class location directions, menu options, and checked in overall to be sure things were organized. The experience was really a home cooked meal— with good conversation, local ingredients and customs, and a level of comfort you don’t typically have at a stuffy restaurant. This experience was a highlight of my trip, and I recommend it for anyone who used to enjoy grabbing a stool and learning from their mom, dad, grandparent, etc. Food turned out great and I feel like I have a great connection now in Fes!

Amazing authentic class

Sean_D, Sep 2023

A memorable, authentic cooking class. We were treated with tea and pastries, and the food we cooked was absolutely delicious. Will do more tours with this company while we are in Fes. Highly highly recommend!!

Great experience

Ritwik_M, Aug 2023

Yassine was very welcoming and a great teacher. My partner and I both would highly recommend. The tanjine with prunes was our favourite dish.

Authentic and delicious

Meighan_H, Aug 2023

Yassine was an awesome teacher and super nice. We really enjoyed the class and the experience of cooking Moroccan food!!

I don't leave reviews usually... but this class was WONDERFUL

Elliott_S, Jul 2023

Yassine is such a generous, warm, and engaging host! My partner and I were looking for something that felt authentic- like learning to cook in someone's house- and gave us a chance to get outside the Medina in Fes and see what life felt like there. Yassine graciously received us into his family's home, shared with us both the process and meaning behind the dishes we cooked together (veggie couscous and chicken tajine!), and he made us feel welcome in every way. He's an entrepreneur in his community, his English is great, and he gave us awesome recommendations afterward to go get the best spices we needed to cook the dishes he shared with us back home. I plan to keep in touch with Yassine!

Great time

Rhonda_M, Jul 2023

Very fun experience, we got to cook a lot of great food. I highly recommend booking especially if you’ve struggled finding good tagine in touristy areas. Homemade is far superior!
