    This is was a fantastic way spend my time visiting Marrakech. Known so well for it's food culture, I would say it is a can't-miss activity. Chef Khmisa met us promptly on time and took us through a busy street, having us pick out produce and showing us various ingredients. This alone was valuable, as it is hectic and somewhat intimidating to go about this alone. Once we shopped for our ingredients, we were guided to a beautiful air-conditioned kitchen where we had some tea and participated in various steps to prepare a delicious meal together with a party of about 10 people. Chef was very knowledgable and answered all the questions we had about the food and cooking. After the cooking, we sat and ate the food we helped cook and that concluded the 3 hour session. After requesting, Chef Khmisa sent the recipes of the food we cooked. This was an unforgettable experience for me and I am already recommending this to my friends and colleagues.

    Cooking like a local
    Andrew_H, Apr 2024
    Great fun, very professional, super clean. Enjoyed the shopping & the cooking! Overall a great experience. We would recommend this experience.
    You better go for a nice dinner to a restaurant of your choice
    Rosa_Z, Apr 2024
    Ok, nur don’t expect to be able to cook it afterwads. The shopping at the market was to short, two stops for chicken and vegetables. Afterwads, while cooking the team was always doing different things, so I was not able to follow at least one receipt. Finally, I never got the receipts. Too expensive for what you get…
    Response from Host, Apr 2024
    Hello Rosa Thank you for taking time to leave revie, About the experience For the market it depends on the menu of the day, we stop where we have to get the ingredients , thats it Concerning the recipes, you just attended the experience less than 24 hours ago , we sent ut afterwards so you can make it again. For following the team, we do all the cooking together so everyone can follow it
    Nice experience

    Great!

    A fun, great experience
    Andrea_S, Apr 2024
    This was a really good activity & we both loved it. Met some lovely people, cooked some fabulous food and sat together chatting and ate it all ….what’s not too like?
    Very nice home feeling to this class
    Jeremy_Y, Apr 2024
    Funny and light cooking experience. Enjoyed it with my teenage son who also enjoys cooking. Very easy going hosts!
    Great experience to do, especially with children!
    Tracey_S, Apr 2024
    My husband, our two daughters (aged 12 & 13) and myself thoroughly enjoyed the cooking course with Khimsa who spoke excellent English. We were with two more couples and we all got along so well, everyone was lovely! We started in the market where we bought the produce for the recipes and Khisma got us all involved with this task. This didn’t take long at all and we were soon away from the hustle and bustle of the market and we were suddenly in this beautiful building where we started our course. We began with a lesson on making mint tea and then we proceeded with the preparation for the dishes. Khimsa got our daughters just as involved as all the adults with the chopping and cooking and then we sat down and ate the most delicious food. I cannot recommend this course enough, it was a great experience for all involved, especially our children. We are all so pleased we did it and it made our holiday!
    Must try for foodies
    Diana_G, Apr 2024
    We had a nice experience from start to finish - we met Khmisa and our group near Bab Doukkala mosque and then we headed straight for the market. She explained to us how the locals shop, taking us to each stall to gather the things we needed for the cooking class. After, we headed to her house, where we learned how to prepare and properly pour the traditional mint tea. It was super fun to try to pour it the right way, and we all took turns trying it. Then, it was straight to preparing the food, with Khmisa explaining all the condiments they use, how and why they choose each condiment and how important the preparation is - especially for the tagines ! We never took a cooking class before, but after this experience we will for sure try more - it was super fun and informative ! A great way to understand Morrocan culture. And you receive all the recipes on Whatsapp at the end, so you can redo it at home anytime :)
    Brilliant cooking experience
    Ryan_N, Apr 2024
    We did a cooking class with Kawtar and Khmisa in April 24. We had a great time and would highly recommend it. We met our group near a food market section of the Souks and picked a number of the ingredients we would be using. The class started my making Moroccan tea followed by starters and two tagines. Everything was explained in detail and everyone was able to contribute. The class was given in both English and French. After preparing the food we sat down as a group to eat and the food was really good. Really good experience and we would highly recommend it
    Best Meal of the Trip
    Morgan_M, Apr 2024
    Our host was very friendly, charming, knowledgable, and approachable. I loved going to the market stalls to choose the food, and chatting to everyone around the table to learn their story/background. Cooking classes are a GREAT way to meet people from all around the world. I was also amazed how rich the food tasted after not marinading at all! It was the most delicious yet simple meal we ate the entire trip. We were stunned how a few bags of food at the market could feed 9 people.
    Great Experience
    Cecile_S, Apr 2024
    From the market buying the produce, to the reparation, use of Moroccan spices & cooking fabulous food. We would thoroughly recommend!!
    Didn't get the recipes as promised.
    Yulia_B, Apr 2024
    The experience was fun and the food was good , but they told us they will send the recipes so we don't need to take notes and I never received anything, checked email and Whatsapp every day, I even texted but got not response. Please if you could send the recipes, otherwise all that just makes no sense, Thank you so much
    Response from Host, Apr 2024
    Hello Yulia Thank you for taking time to leave review about the experience and we are happy to know that you liked the experience For the recipes they were sent to all the participants after couple days due to our Eid holidays, we were not operating the last days
    Authentic and fun Moroccan cookery class
    Catherine_W, Apr 2024
    Excellent cookery class with two very warm and caring ladies. Beautiful Moroccan style building. Really enjoyed shopping for the ingredients. Everyone was involved with the cooking. Food tasted incredible! Thoroughly recommended.
    Worth it
    Juliet_H, Apr 2024
    Fun, yummy and hopefully I now can make at home. Nos just Tagine, you learn how to make more things, and entire experience.
    Great experience
    Armi_E, Apr 2024
    We went with my family and had an amazing time. We learnt the foundation of Moroccan cooking and it gave us the inspiration to continue to cook morrocan. Our teachers; Kawtar and Khmisa were so friendly. I would definitely recommend
    Absolutely delicious
    Minda_G, Apr 2024
    My husband and I fully enjoyed this tour. Our hosts were engaging and friendly, we learned to make traditional Moroccan tagine, as well as very delicious side dishes and mint tea, and we were even able to purchase homemade spices at the end. The class was well paced and fun. Would definitely recommend.
