What a wonderful experience. We shared an afternoon of cooking together and learning about the local culture. The meal was incredibly delicious and our host was warm and friendly, not to mention such a talented cook. Do not miss this.

Brilliant

Deborah_A, Nov 2023

What an outstanding morning with Fatima and her family, she was so patient and explained everything so well. The food was outstanding? So tasteful and authentic. Quality of ingredients could not be faulted. A lovely morning experiencing family life in a typical Moroccan Riad. Could not fault it

Chaotic and uncaring.

Edward_S, Nov 2023

The meeting place and time time were changed the evening before. It was not made clear that a new meeting place had been selected; I was simply sent a map reference with no comment at all. I arrived on time in the agreed meeting place and no-one met me. No attempt was made to find me although it must have been obvious where I was. I therefore missed the entire experience and have no idea if it was good. I wish I could give zero stars rather than one.

Good & bad

Jonathan_S, Oct 2023

Upside delightful Fatima & family. Fellow participants 6 from USA & 2 from Germany good & pleasant. Chopped lots of vegetables, adding different spices and mixing into food or making marinades. Finished with 3 salads, chicken & lemon tagine + vegetable tagine and a put together yourself dessert of filo pastry, fresh apple with a vanilla yoghurt & cinnamon. Given some interesting information & history on Morocco and shared some travel experiences with one another. Downside. Let down very badly by being forgotten when they should have been there to meet us at their chosen rendezvous. We got there at the appointed time, but we weren't met to be taken the remaining 400 metres to the cooking Riad. Had we not had Google maps offline for Marrakech, we would have missed out completely - no real apology for this , left us well peeved as it seemed the USA group was their priority. Then no venturing out to a market for the vegetables or going to the bakers for the bread. So we felt disappointed compared to our sons experience on a similar cooking experience just a few years ago, which had been the reason for us trying on our visit.

This activity we did in Marrakesh

Karveen_B, Jul 2023

This was a wonderful experience in a private RIAD. It’s a little hard to find on your own, but if you ask for help me, gladly Ofer it. . The whole family was so welcoming and kind to us and explained everything in detail. Honestly the best activity we did whilst we were in Marrakesh and absolutely the best food that we ate in all of the six days that we were here! Please don’t hesitate to give this a go. It’s a real relaxed pace learning activity and if you are a foodie, you will love it.

Not to be missed!

Aisling_H, Apr 2023

An absolutely fabulous day with a beautiful family. Learned so much about Moroccan cooking techniques and enjoyed some of the best food on my trip! This was probably my favourite activity that I did on my holiday. Highly recommend!

Exceeded all expectations

Heather_S, Mar 2023

I booked the class for me and my boyfriend and it exceeded all expectations. It was a top highlight of our trip. Yassir took us to the market and we picked out the ingredients, and then we spent the morning and early afternoon learning how to cook the dishes with Fatima. Their homemade spices are amazing, and the day in general was magical. Thank you!

Delicious

Natalie_P, Jan 2023

What a wonderful experience! The best Tagine we had in Marrakech and we hand selected the produce ourselves. Yesser and his aunts have such a beautiful home and they are very knowledgeable and helpful, even after the class. I would recommend this to everyone who wants to experience the best Tagine in Marrakech. ❤️

Absolutely the best meal we had during our stay in Marrakech!

Konstantinos_D, Jan 2023

This was by far the best meal we had during our stay in Marrakech! The extremely friendly hosts guided us through all the steps of buying and cooking four salads, a (chicken) tanjine and a desert - a top notch experience that brought us closer to appreciate (even more) the Moroccan kitchen and culture!

Cooking Morocco Together

Ana_F, Dec 2022

Truly fantastic experience! So much fun. Our family of 5 (two teen boys and 6 year old boy) absolutely loved it.

A Taste of Marrakesh, Literally

Beverly_P, Nov 2022

MayMabelle_T, Nov 2022

Finally learned how to cook Tajine and it tasted really good. Also made salads and desert. All very tasty. Very cozy vibe.

Great Cooking Experience

Wonderful experience and gracious Aunt/Nephew. Our group was so very impressed with the whole experience

Best Cooking Class in Marrakesh

Cara, Sep 2022

Highlight of the Trip!!! Anoir was the most amazing, friendly and true kind person and he made sure we had the best time Marrakesh not only while we were in his cooking class but during our time in the city. I booked the class for myself and my partner. No one else was in the class on that day so it was just us three and Anoir’s Aunty who guided us through an amazing traditional cooking experience. Anoir gave us so much advance on good places to eat, drink and shop. After the class he kept in touch and met up with us a couple of days later to buy some traditional cooking dishes and spices. His dad also own a shop in the Medina and on another day he showed us around and help us buy some items. He asked for nothing and is just one of the kind person I’ve met while travelling! You’ll be crazy not to book.

The best experience ever

Ilse_V, Aug 2022

Anoir is the very best! Very friendly, helpfull and the best experience ever. Highly recommened. Also his English is perfect

At Home in Another’s Home

Tully_M, Jul 2022

We were met by Fatima’s cousin, and cooked with him, another cousin, and another family member of Fatima’s. They were so kind. We felt quite welcome in their place. The first cousin spoke excellent English, so we were able to ask detailed questions about the food and the cooking. And the woman who taught us was a real homebrewer — she made her own vinegar, for instance, which we added to the dishes. We made several appetizers and a huge tagine, which we ate as a couple — we weren’t joined by our culinary guides. Overall, we felt like we were in our own home. Huge value for money. More than money can buy.

Food and culture with amazing people

Fabiola_D, Jul 2022

The food we prepared with Habiba was the best tasted in our whole permanence in Marocco. It was fun to learn how to cook it and being hosted in a marocan house. Anuar, her nephew, helped us translating and buying products from locals and he was also a very enjoyable company. Thank you for making our last day in Marrakech just perfect.

Authentic cooking experience

Fiona_A, Feb 2020

An amazing, authentic experience learning about more than just the cooking, with a day spent in the heart of a lovely family chatting about their culture. The dishes we made were delicious with fresh ingredients.

Best Moroccon meal ever!!

rd6440, Feb 2020

This is a must do tour if you're in Marrakech. Laila and her family were so warm and welcoming. There were five of us who attended the cooking class and we all had a great time. We loved the tea served before the meal and inquired on where to buy it so Laila sent her husband to the store to get some for us. We made starters, an entree, and a dessert. Everything was delicious. I had an amazing time and would encourage any one who wants to learn how to make Morocco dishes to take this class.

A great day not to be missed

richardandinge, Feb 2020

My friends and I had a great experience with Chef Laila and her nephew Ayoub. We were welcomed into her home and had a great time preparing and cooking our lunch followed by henna painting for those that wanted it. You’ll learn a lot more about spices and preparing food and come away with recipes so you can replicate at home. Ayoub is very happy to chat about life in Morocco and we all came away having had a great day. If you get the chance to go, don’t hesitate.

Fantastic cooking class in a traditional home environment!

Arch_T, Dec 2019

Fantastic cooking class in a traditional family home! We had the best time with chef Laila, her daughter Fatima and cousin Ayub. We learned the fundamentals of Moroccan teas, salads, marinades, herbs, spices, tegines and dessert. We felt welcomed in her home. It was a great glimpse into the traditional way of life and classic foods all together. We would highly recommend this cooking class for vegetarians as well.
