A Glimpse of Heaven - Our host, Btissam, and mother Maria live in a modest flat outside the medina up on a hillside. It is not a commercial property, which is exactly what we wanted to avoid. The experience was most authentic. Btissam met our private tour van at the end of the block in her neighborhood and walked us to their home. She had everything well organized, and her direction was so pleasant and cheerful. We prepared three main dishes and additional sides, beginning with food preparation. I discovered that my friend Tom has no idea how to dice an onion!!! The entire morning was so enjoyable. Our wives learned how to make couscous that tastes ridiculously good, not the dry and flavorless that we are accustomed to here at home. Our finished meal was amazing. We ate in the family dining room, and we were served mint tea, of course. But the special bonus was when Maria, who does not speak English motioned for us to follow her to the roof of their building to see her private heaven, if I am translating correctly. And heaven it was with a spectacular 180 degree view of Fes and the entire medina. It took our breath away.

A lovely looking lesson and dining experience! - We were given a range of recipes to choose from the day before. When we arrived, the ingredients and eqiupment were already laid out. Our teacher/host was friendly and helpful, explaining the different dishes, ingredients (especially the different spices!). The location is in a fairly plain-looking apartment, but we found the locals very helpful in pointing us towards Dar Yassine.

Best cooking experience! - Highly recommend booking a cooking class while in Morocco! We enjoyed our time and earned extra appreciation for the Moroccan dishes as we learned how much preparation goes into cooking these meals. The experience was fun and the food at the end was amazing. We are very basic cooks and received easy tasks! Highly recommend!

Authentic home cooked meal - This was an authentic family experience as I was welcomed into this home and cooked and conversed with the family. The cous cous that we cooked was superb, and it was followed by excellent mint tea and cookies. I greatly enjoyed learning more about Moroccan culture, and definitely enjoyed the food

A Must Do - The energy was amazing upon meeting Yassine! I am so glad that I chose this cooking experience. The There were a plethora of selections on the menu to chose from & I teetered on which one to choose. Once I decided, I selected the couscous with caramelized onions, raisins & almonds (chicken) ….It was absolutely delicious! She explained everything and I actually had my hands in the cooking process. Not one complaint What an awesome experience!

A real *Home-Cooked* meal - This experience is located in the home of the host (Btissam). She was super welcoming. We did get lost getting to the experience, but the host does offer pickup and dropoff for an additional fee (~ $15 USD roundtrip per group). Regarding the actual experience, we each got to choose a dish the night before. We started with preparing the ingredients and setting them up to cook. While the dishes were cooking/stewing, we were served traditional Moroccan mint green tea and cookies. After the tea, we finished cooking the meal, and everything was served in the family style. We had a group of three and we made three entrees, but there was definitely enough food for four to five people. Other things of note: There is parking available at the experience. There is bottled water. There is a bathroom onsite. The entire experience took about 2.5 hours depending on how long you want to stay and enjoy the meal. The host was able to recommend other experiences/tour guides and advice on how to get around the city.

Warm and wonderful cooking class! - Thank you so much to Btissam for creating a wonderful cooking class experience. Btissam welcomed us into her home and taught us how to cook a delicious meal of tagine, salads, and bessara. Not only was the food delicious, but Btissam was kind, patient, and a very informative teacher. Yassine was extremely helpful and communicative when booking. The entire team was thoughtful and considerate of our dietary restrictions and the customizable menu was a huge plus. They also offer pickup and drop off services which were extremely helpful and efficient. Do not miss out on this opportunity when in Fes!

authentic cooking experience, excellent company - Incredible experience! Authentic. Our guiding chef, who's name I cannot remember but who's face and warm smile is in front of my eyes (i'm sorry for my poor memory), accepted us into her home and had everything ready and organized. The actual cooking was so much fun. We were taught step my step and created a delicious feast that we feel capable of replicating upon our return to our home country. Highly recommend this experience, it is an authentic moroccan and wholesome experience with truly good hearted people. 10/10 experience.
