    I love these classes and I will be back next year when I visit Morocco again. The Chef is exceptional, she answered all my questions. Explaining things like what a 1/2 tea cup in liquid measurement equals. Her directions were very clear and I will be duplicating these recipes when I get back home

    Oh my gosh what a delightful experience!!!
    Luis_P, Apr 2024
    What an incredibly delightful experience with Chef Khadija!!! Her welcoming spirit and ready smile were the highlights of our experience but right next to it was the delectable delight of the food my wife and I were thrilled to help (careful with that word, she did all the hard work) prepare under the watchful eyes of one of the most gentle souls we've ever met. The main dishes prepared included Chicken Tajine and Batboute (which we helped mix and knead the old fashion way). Just before finishing preparing the food, Chef Khadija asked my wife if she wanted to wear a beautiful traditional dress to enjoy with the traditional dishes we were taught to make. Needless to say, my wife was made to feel and look like a Moroccan queen! Chef Khadija is such a precious and inviting person who exudes the grace and warmth of the beauty of the Moroccan people and culture. She made us feel like we weren't just guests but family members. If you're in Casablanca for a few days, take the train (or taxi) ride to the beautiful City of Rabad (about an hour away) and enjoy the hospitality of one of the most authentic and knowledgeable Moroccan chefs you'll ever meet. Doing so will help you learn the simple lesson that humans everywhere were designed by our Creator to live in peace around one of the most common things we all do -- break bread around a table from the bounty of the earth. This "tour" and cooking class is a MUST for anyone who wants to go beyond Casablanca to one of the most beautiful cities in Morocco (Rabat), learn to cook from a pro a quintessential Moroccan dish, and while doing so enjoy the company of the nicest chef (sorry, Chef Ramsay) you'll ever meet.
    Great experience

    This cooking class was everything we wanted! Chef Khadija was very welcoming. We cooked chicken Tagine and Badboute bread. I also asked if it was possible to make Za'alook because I've really enjoyed it in Morocco and she was able to accommodate.
    Great food experience
    Ron_Z, Nov 2023
    This was a great find. Chef Khadija's house was beautiful as was the neighborhood. We were greeted in true Moroccan fashion with mint tea and sweets. We then went to the kitchen and "helped" prepare our meals. Lots of cutting onions, garlic, peppers, etc and then adding spices to the tagine. We watched her make 2 different types of bread which were very tasty. As she prepared most of the food, chicken and vegetables, we watched how it was done so we could then do it ourselves when we came home. She encouraged us to take notes. She had Google translate which helped us with the many questions we had for her. Because of this great time, we purchased a tagine after we got home and can't wait to make our own meals. Come hungry.
    Highly recommend!

    Chef Khadija was so sweet (and patient despite us only speaking English) throughout the class. She welcomed us into her beautiful home and we left very full!
    Best 'Vacation" Ever ❤️

    If you want an authentic cooking class taught by an experienced chef, look no further than Chef Khadija! We had an amazing experience making traditional Moroccan Pastilla- an amazing, detailed dish with flavors that are out of this world. Chef Khadija was welcoming, her home was lovely and the experience is one we will not forget. Don't think twice, just book it!!!

    An Excellent Experience
    Jaque_G, Mar 2022
    I attended this class alone and was delighted to participate in making an excellent couscous with beef, zucchini, pumpkin, caramelised onions, almonds and dates. Chef Khadija is a very warm and helpful instructor, assisted by her sister Marla who speaks excellent English. The house was relatively easy to find, if you go by taxi.

    J'ai passé un excellent moment avec Khadija, qui est une professeure remarquable. Nous avons même pu réaliser plusieurs plats en une seule leçon ! Je recommande vivement.
    Top expérience!
    Mike_E, Jan 2024
    Super moment passé en compagnie de Khadija. Nous avons préparé une succulente tagine au poulet ainsi que le pain et 2 accompagnements ( dont un caviar d’aubergines). Je recommander vivement cette activité pour toute personne passant à Rabat et qui s’intéresse à la cuisine marocaine, vous ne serez pas déçu.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    Merci pour votre avis positif! Heureux que vous ayez apprécié cuisiner avec ma mere chef Khadija. Votre recommandation nous encourage beaucoup. Espérons vous accueillir à nouveau à Rabat pour d'autres moments culinaires.
    Plus que parfait!

    Nous avons réalisé un cours de cuisine avec une cheffe expérimentée. Après avoir été super bien accueilli avec un thé et des pâtisseries faites maison, cheffe Khadija nous a prêté des chaussures et un tablier. Elle nous a fourni des crayons et des feuilles pour pouvoir prendre en notes toutes les étapes importantes a la création d’un tajine et de batboutes. A l’écoute de toutes nos questions, elle a su nous guider et transmettre sa passion tout en s’adaptant a notre rythme. Elle nous a gentiment proposé d’essayer des tenues traditionnelles marocaines tout en dégustant nos réalisations. Un peu dessus de ne pas avoir manger avec elle mais le métier de cheffe prend beaucoup de temps et nous le savons! Nous avons passé un moment magique à ses côtés que nous renouvèleront volontiers pour apprendre l’art de la pâtisserie marocaine! Nous recommandons sans hésiter Signé : Le grand chef et sa secrétaire (petit chef)
    Une belle Aventure culinaire traditionnelle !
    Dominique_T, Mar 2023
    Nous avons passé un super moment avec Khadija qui nous a fait partager son amour de la cuisine avec passion. Nous adorons cuisiner et nous ne manquerons pas d'appliquer les précieux conseils de Khadija. L'accueil est chaleureux et convivial. Merci Khadija ! Nous recommandons sans hésiter votre cours de cuisine marocaine.
