So much more than a cooking class - This was our first trip to Morocco and our time at Amal Association was a highlight. The women who taught us how to cook (I wish I'd remembered to write their names down so I'd remember them to thank them properly!) were so generous with their time and with sharing their expertise - it was such a stress-free, fun experience. And getting to pick fresh herbs from the garden for the tea ceremony was a thrill! But more importantly, it was wonderful to learn about the work Amal Association is doing to empower women in Marrakech and beyond. It was a much-needed perspective after the chaos and tourist-saturated experience we had for much of our time in Marrakech. This was much more intimate, very focused on human connection and sharing a personal experience. Highly recommend!
