A great time - Great evening with Abdou and his friend Isaac. In addition to learning how to cook a great Tajine Kefta at Abdou with fresh ingredients bought at the market just before, we shared a great moment of conviviality that we will not forget! Thanks again to you 2

Don’t look any further - Abdou was very good in communicating, as soon as I did the booking. A choice of different options was given for the tajine. I had chicken and vegetables. The meeting point was well prepared and on time. We first went to the local market for shopping and went to Abdou’s house for cooking. A perfect experience. I certainly recommend this as it was one of my best ones. I didn’t even know I could cook like this. I will recommend this to everyone. Thanks again!

Excellent culinary and cultural experience - Excellent culinary and cultural experience at the market and in Abdou's home learning how to cook authentic tangine. We met by the Dar al Mouwaten mosque and Abdou took us to the market to get our meat and veg, where the locals buy their supplies. We chose chicken with preserved lemons for our tagine (be aware if you choose chicken then you choose a live one, which is then prepared ready for the tagine as per halal - a good experience for our 8 and 11 year olds to understand). They helped select the veg too, then off to Abdou's place to prepare, cook and eat the tagine.

Real moroccan cooking - The cooking lesson with Abdou was an amazing experience! Not only did we learn how to prepare authentic Moroccan dishes, but we also got to know the fascinating customs and culture of the country.
