Amazing Moroccan cooking with wonderful company - We had the most amazing experience with Salwa, Maroud and their family. Authentic Moroccan cooking with friendly company was a highlight of our Chefchaouen experience. Would highly recommend!

Shop and cook like the locals - Great experience! Especially due to the fact that it's about the whole experience. You decide what you want to cook and before you start, you'll go shopping at local shops for your food.
Preparing and cooking go hand in hand, plus you'll eat with other guests and the hosts too. This is not in cooking in a hotel, this is cooking at their home. Highly recommend experience!

An Authentic Moroccan Cooking Experience! - We did the cooking experience and really enjoyed learning about Moroccan cuisine, spices, and the cooking process with Mourad and his team. They were warm, welcoming, and made us feel like part of the family. We ended the experience by sharing the meal together, which made it even more special. It’s also a fantastic family-friendly activity. If you’re in Chefchaouen, I’d highly recommend them for cooking classes and any other experiences, as they know the area very well.

Unforgettable! - Mourat, Laghdar and family will make you absolutely feel at home. While going to the market, cooking, and having diner we also learned a lot about Chefchaouen and it's history. We spend time in their wonderful family home that has been in their family for generations long, enjoying Geana music by both. Also, we now know the secrets of how to make the best Tajine dish! The best experience we had during our visit to Morocco. Don't miss out on this :)

Very very enjoyable and welcoming experience - Cooking class was wonderful.
The familiy is very, very welcoming. They are very enthusiastic about telling about their history and culture, about the food and ingredients, about what makes chefchouen so special besides being blue. The local market visit was very refreshing, and there was lots of fun and interesting talks with the local sellers. After picking the ingredients, the cooking was fun and the meal was lovely. The place itself was very beautiful.

Engulf yourself in Moroccan culture - We had a great time with this cooking class!
It was already fun to go to the local market to pick fresh ingredients, from which we learnt a lot about what to look out for (e.g. size, color or shape of veggies and fruits). Seeing to the local butcher was also interesting!
We ended up making two tajines (we were allowed to choose what we were going to make from a set of options). During preparations we again learnt a lot about food and why certain ingredients are prepped the way they are.
It was Ramadan, so we ended up having iftar (first break of the fast of the day) together with a small group of the family, which taught us a lot more about the culture.
Even after the cooking class we hung out with some family members for quite some time! I don't think you should expect this by default, but it says everything about the friendliness of the family!

We had the honor of being... - We had the honor of being able to experience this during Ramadan and being a part of the celebration when sun fell and breaking fast with locals I would now call friends. The class is very hands on and our hosts were incredibly talented and made us feel as if we entered our own home. When we come back we will be visiting again.
