Fantastic food experience - The food was delicious and Fatiha and her mother were fabulous . We felt very comfortable and welcomed in their house. There was laughter and insightful discussion around the food we prepared. The entire experience was amazing.

Unforgettable experience - The class with Fatiha and her mother was an incredible experience!!! My partner and I wanted to learn some Moroccan cuisine. I was crazy to learn how to make those delicious breads they have, and we suggested changing the menu, there was no obstacle and everything was a success. We made our bread doughs, went to a community oven to bake them, walked around a local market and returned to Fatiha's house to continue cooking the tagine and starters. We loved the experience, sharing with Fatiha and her mother, they are incredibly helpful opening the doors of their house to show you the most valuable things about Moroccan culture and food. I would recommend this experience 100% because it is something different, and everything is very well organized!!!

Fatiha rocks - excellent experience - Fatiha and her mother were wonderful. We learned how to prepare Moroccan tea and food, had great conversation and felt at home in her home. The meal was incredibly delicious and filling. Great thing to do at the beginning of your trip to meet others and get ideas and tips of what to do.

Relaxed and informative class in authentic Marrakech Family Riad - Fatiha’s class was a much needed break from the bustle of Marrakech. She is informative and worked well with the whole group in terms of differing skill levels. I’m a chef by trade but love to learn traditional dishes and techniques of the places I travel. Fatiha’s class did not disappoint. She includes shopping for ingredients and visiting a local community bread fire oven before we cook together as a group. All this is done in the Kasbah, which is clearly one of the few places left in the Medina that still has thriving local community and isn’t just tourist oriented. Making and eating the meal in her family home really gives an intimate and unique experience when traveling. There wasn’t any “hidden costs” or sales pitches, just a lovely afternoon cooking, eating and exploring the Kasbah. I definitely recommend!

A fabulous opportunity to experience and learn home Moroccan cooking and the culture of the people. One not to miss!!! - A really excellent half-day cooking class which I can wholeheartedly highly recommend. Extremely friendly, helpful and professional. We learnt an art in Moroccan cooking with Fathia and Samira, who went out of their way to ensure we had a truly memorable experience. Excellent English speaking event with French and Arabic language also available. The 4.5 hours simply flew by. Do not miss this wonderful experience!!!

An unforgettable experience not to be missed! - A great experience not to be missed if you are in Marrakech! Everything was great between the welcome and the dishes. Thanks to Fatiha for his hospitality and good humor. We booked a private lesson where we started with a little tour at the Point of Sale and then cooked with local produce. We loved the really delicious tagine and couscous recipes! We had a great time between discussions, laughter and cooking. In short a real moment of authentic sharing that I highly recommend! Fatiha and her family really deserve more visibility!! Thank you for your hospitality and very warm welcome and your smiles throughout the day. Pleasure
