The best Moroccan souvenir - An unexpectedly individual experience that awaited us there as a connoisseur. From picking up at the agreed meeting point, to greeting at the location, getting insights into the world of Moroccan tea and spices, to the actual cooking class, it was a very nice time we had the opportunity to spend with Lamai Chef's team. Delicious bread baking, Moroccan salad as a starter, a dip to the bread, various tajines and of course a dessert we were allowed to prepare under Rashida's guidance. Since we were the only students that evening, it has become a very special experience for which we would like to thank you again! We can take a lot from this course and look forward to taking in Moroccan cuisine at home as a little break in everyday life. Great hosts, so once again a big thank you to the entire team of Lamai Chef!

Super cool - Recently I participated in a Moroccan cooking workshop in Marrakech, and it was an experience not to be forgotten. The workshop started with an introduction to the art of making traditional Moroccan tea. The instructor patiently explained the technique and the secrets behind the perfect balance of mint and sugar. The highlight of the workshop was preparing an authentic tagine with chicken. We were guided step by step through the recipe and had the chance to mix the spices and ingredients ourselves. The result was a flavorful, well-seasoned tagine that perfectly captured the essence of Moroccan cuisine. We ended the afternoon by making a traditional Moroccan dessert, which was a delicious end to the meal. The dessert was a tasty combination of sweetness and texture, and it gave a nice rounded feel to the culinary experience.

Incredible Authentic Experience for Our Family - What an amazing experience! We could not have enjoyed the Lamai Chef cooking class more. The food was plentiful and delicious, the kitchen and setting were beautiful and clean and the chef, Dada Raschida was brilliant, kind and friendly. We cooked Chicken and Vegetable Tagines, traditional breads and salads (including for family members with food allergies and Celiac), and a light and delicious dessert. The best part of this fantastic class, though, was Ci Abdul, who truly made us feel like his family and welcomed us with a traditional Moroccan tea ceremony. Shayma made sure that the language differences were not barriers and happily answered all of our questions. Thank you to Ismail and Positively Morocco for this memorable experience.

Great cooking class! - We had a lot of fun. Not only do you learn how to cook in tagine, but they also go through the tea ritual and teach you the proper way to make Moroccan tea, which is way more effort than you might think!
