Enjoyable personalized experience - This was a lovely, personalized experience, from buying vegetables, meat and fruits from local bazaar to cooking up a delicious Moroccan meal with guidance of the lovely host. It gave a good insight into the life of a local household. The host family was very kind and welcoming.

Wonderful Experience - This was an incredible experience to learn first hand about life in the old Medina of Fez. The family was open and kind and could not have made our experience more enjoyable.

Amazing henna - Rania did our henna and it was amazing. She was so kind and picked us up from our riad. She welcomed us into her home and offered us tea. We will definitely be coming back to her the next time

Best meal we had in Morocco! - We loved this cooking class! Our host Imad picked up up from our Riad and took us to the souks where we helped choose the ingredients for our dishes. We were surprised but very happy that the class was actually in his home kitchen rather than a restaurant. Our “chef” was actually his mother!. She was very sweet and and treated us like family and let us help make the meal. It was the best meal we had in our two weeks in Morocco. We can highly recommend this true immersive experience.

Amazing experience - cooking class in Fes - I recently visit Morocco with my friends, beautiful country with beautiful people! While we were in Fes we decided to join a cooking class where you go to the house of a local home chef. What an amazing experience! First the son Yahya of the home chef Samia picked us up at our hotel. We then walked with him through the souk to shop/buy vegetables, spices, herbs and meat that we would use at the cooking class. We then headed to their home where the home chef was waiting for us. I am a vegetarian (and eggs), and my friends eat meat. Samia had planned an extensive menu with our feedback. She then went on to guide us, teach us and finally feed us the food we all cooked together. The menu was 2 Moroccan salads, baba ganoush, chicken tajine, couscous with vegetables, meatballs and egg tajine. What a spread and an incredible experience being welcomed and cooking in their home. Thank you. I highly recommend them and a great experience!

Fabulous insight to home cooking in Morocco - We had a fascinating time with Yahya and his mother - she is a great cook and the food was plentiful and delicious! We went to the market stalls with Yahya to get all the ingredients, then back to his home where we were made very welcome, and served tea and homemade pastries. We had chosen what tagines to make for the main course - chicken with olives & lemon, and beef with prunes. We helped where we could to prepare the dishes (3 different starters, 2 tagine dishes and a fruit salad dessert). Mostly chopping the vegetables and adding the spices. It was also interesting to learn all about Moroccan life in the medina and aspects of Islam - it was the last day of Ramadan and everyone was getting ready to celebrate (the market stalls were crazy!). Thank you to Yahya and his mother for such a lovely experience!

Amazing authentic local family cooking experience - Amazing local hosts truly invited us into their home, family, and culture!!! Imad picked us up and took us shopping at their local market. They have a guy for each ingredient. Then we went back to his mother’s home. She, his sister, and Imad all helped us to learn about Moroccan food, we helped prep, and shared lots of laughs. Mom kept correcting son because of course he can’t do it “right.” It was such a fun experience! We loved all the food and joining their family for the evening. Highly recommend.

Perfect local experience - Amazing cooking class and market visit with Yahya and Soumia! You start the experience with a visit to the local market where you can decide what kind of food you want to cook and then you go to their home and enjoy the local cuisine. Highly recommended!
