A must do in Marrakech x - Great morning spent here would recommend. Great communication before hand and easy to find the meeting point. We had a great time walking through the market buying the ingredients, and then were welcomed to a lovely home in which to experience Morocco. How to make tea, 4 starters, 2 mains and a dessert. Friendly , welcoming and encouraged questions from us all . All in all it was an inspiring morning that made us want to cook Moroccan once we got home, on top of that we had a great chat with the others there and found it a great way to meet and discuss what we’d all been up to in Morocco. What a great way to pick up, not only the cooking and spices information but also our fellow travellers tips and tricks of Marrakech. Fantastic would recommend to all X

Great cooking with locals and meet fellow travelers - I did this cooking class in the morning/lunch. It was a great 3h activity to not only learn the proper way to prepare tea, cooking tajine with a couple of side dishes, it’s also a fun way to meet other travelers. Highly recommend this

Perfect class for getting the full Moroccan experience - This cooking class was a great experience. We got to explore the market in Marrakech and then welcomed into the kitchen with some lovely tea. The cooking was explained step by step including all the spices and ingredients. Kawtar was very helpful and attentive during the class and the food tasted amazing. I would definitely recommend.

Really Fun Cooking Class! - The food we made in this cooking class was incredible and Chef Khmisa made us feel right at home. I'll definitely try to make some of our recipes when I'm home! They'll even sell you some spices towards the end of class. I would definitely recommend this class to other travelers. One note is that the shopping portion is on a busy alley with a lot of motorbike activity, so just be prepared for that as it was a bit overwhelming. But once we were in the cooking space, we had a lovely time.

10/10 - We absolutely loved the cooking class! There was 11 of us in the class. The meeting point was slightly unclear but Kamisa was great at communicating with us via WhatsApp. We visited the Souks briefly to buy some fresh vegetables for the meal ahead. Kami and the chef were great at bringing the group together and showed us the step by step of creating an authentic Moroccan style meal. We also got to serve tea (Moroccan style) and enjoyed the meal as a group. The hosts were helpful and friendly. We would highly recommend booking this class on your next visit to Marrakech!
