Tasty evening in Essaouira - This is a great cooking class to fill up and evening in Essaouira. Abdou messaged us in advance with options to pick two tagine from a list that we will prepare (as a group of 3). After helping collect ingredients at the market (including the very fresh chicken), we got a taxi to his home and got to work. A very authentic experience and he was happy to answer any of our questions, also making sure we prepared as much of the tagines as possible ourselves. They were of course delicious.

Great experience - The experience with Abdou was great from start to finish. I and my 15 and 12 year old met him near the medina before going to the local food market to select our chicken (live) and vegetables. At his apartment he taught us how to prepare a chicken tagine whilst fielding our numerous questions on Moroccan culture. After eating our delicious tagine we went to buy spices and a tagine pot in his local shops - so much better doing it this way than the usual tourist traps! Abdou is friendly, extremely helpful (he’s answered my cuisine enquiries now I’m back home) and with fluent English it’s a fantastic experience to delve a little deeper into Moroccan life.

A real highlight of our trip! - My friend and I did a cooking class with Abdou during our trip to Essaouira. We had a fantastic time learning how to cook a proper Moroccan tagine. It was incredibly tasty and he sent us the recipes after! Can highly recommend this!
