Take the time for a taste break! - However, I was the only one who registered and was able to do this immersion course with a sample of Moroccan cuisine. Many thanks for this private lesson. I particularly enjoyed the exchanges with the chef who answered all my questions, cooking is her “area”. Home ++++, complete concept of tasting races! Do not hesitate! Take this time in a beautiful and quiet Riad.

Eyes closed!!!! - This activity is a real immersion! First visit a local market, far from the tourist catches, to run the errands with Ismael, who is kind and who has put us at ease and made us participate. We were also able to talk at length with the spice seller, very interesting! Then here we are at the Riad to carry out the cooking course (which we validated and selected upstream) with Karima. To top it all off: eat on the magnificent Rooftop overlooking the rooftops of Marrakech + the Koutoubia mosque: only luxury! I recommend this activity with your eyes closed. Fiona

Learning to cook home made Moroccan food with an excellent chef and friendly helpful staff. - We learned how to cook chicken, lemon, olive tangine and cous cous the way that Moroccans cook at home. It was the best tangine we ate in Morocco and we had this dish 6 times.

Fun and engaging cooking class - We were greeted by the warmth and hospitality of Manuela. The experience is to be lived at 360 °: shopping list, typical market for the purchase of products, return to Riad for preparation. We were followed by the staff - Manuela, Ismael and Aisha (special chef). We prepared all together the typical Moroccan dishes (typical salad, beef and sardines couscous, dessert). The temperatures and atmosphere allowed us to dine on the terrace of the Riad. Cozy, romantic and with a suggestive view of Marrakech. A special experience, fun and that gives a touch of originality to the trip! Thank you Manuela! We will return to cook together with Aisha a typical Italian dish!

Incredible Experience - Absolutely wonderful experience, highly recommend! We first went to the market with one of the employees who showed us around and helped us to buy spices and tea from the market. The cook, Aicha is an incredible cook and the owners of the Riad are lovely people. We ate the food we prepared, which was delicious, on the Riad‘s rooftop terrace, amazing ambiance!

If you love cooking and making it fun, this place is for you - When in Marrakech you have to do this. The chef Ayesha is amazing, teaches so well and is just the nicest person. The guy that took us to the spice market is the sweetest of the sweet and so helpful in getting us the best prices and quality, the one who showed us how to our tea, everyone was great. Beautiful patio where we ate what we cooked could not have been nicer. Put it on your to do list you will not be disappointed

Just do it! - One of the most favourite things we did on our Moroccan trip was this class. It was fun, we felt like family, and we learned a bunch of new techniques that we can try at home. The lunch was absolutely delicious and we really enjoyed going to the market to get the ingredients. Our hosts were genuine, light hearted and good natured. Can't say enough about how wonderful it was.
