Great cooking class - I really enjoyed the cooking class. The host explained everything one by one clearly. At the end, we almost couldn't believe that we did this delicious dish. Will definitely try to cook again at home.

Very friendly and confortable - It was a great experience, it was our first day in Marrakech and they were open to answer all the questions we had during cooking. We learn the basics to make Cous-cous, Tajin and Morrocan salad.

Cooking class in Marrakech - Our travel guide booked this class for me and my sons. This cooking class with Hajar and her aunty Malika was truly one of the highlights of our trip. We were originally meant to travel to the High Atlas Mountains for a cooking experience, but after several days in the car travelling to the desert and back through the Atlas Mountains, we didn’t want another long day of driving. We therefore asked our tour organiser to find us a cooking class in Marrakesh instead and it turned out to be the best decision we could have made. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel incredibly welcome in their beautiful family riad, it felt far more like being invited into someone’s home than attending a class. The riad itself is a wonderful setting, with a stunning kitchen and beautiful Moroccan tiling that immediately sets the tone. We were taught how to make Moroccan mint tea properly, and it was probably the best tea we had during our time in Morocco. We began with tea and sweets, then cooked a delicious chicken tagine together, along with fresh bread. The boys were encouraged to get involved, chopping and helping make the bread dough and also cook the bread which they absolutely loved. Her aunty made the msemen so easily all by hand ans was incredible watching her (we make something similar with a rolling pin in our culture) . What made this experience especially meaningful was sitting down to eat together with Hajar and Malika. Sharing the meal with them made everything feel authentic, warm, and heartfelt, and truly elevated the experience. At the end, we enjoyed tea again with sweet delights, cake, and msemen. By that point our hearts were full and our tummies were very full too; a true reflection of the generosity and care throughout the whole experience. I would highly recommend this to anyone travelling to Marrakech. It’s an experience we won’t forget in a hurry. The culture, warmth, and hospitality of the Moroccan people were truly humbling, and this experience captured that so beautifully.

Unforgettable Culinary Adventure in Marrakesh - I just returned from an incredible Moroccan cooking class in Marrakesh, hosted at kasbah by Hajar, Cooking Marrakech Journey in the Medina, and it exceeded all my expectations! As a traveler eager to dive into authentic local flavors, this was the perfect way to immerse myself in Moroccan culture beyond the bustling souks. Highly recommend it 🥰

Wonderful Cooking class experience - One of the most beautiful experiences to have in Marrakech. We were welcomed with the preparation of Moroccan tea and delicious pastries. Then, together, we prepared Tajine and couscous as per traditional Moroccan customs. It was wonderful to share this experience, thanks especially to the kind hospitality of Sara and her sister, who, along with their mother, patiently helped us create delicious dishes. All in all, you have to try it to believe it.

A great time cooking - We had a pastry class to learn how to prepare Chebakias and the class was just perfect. We were very well received with traditional mint tea and Moroccan pastries in a beautiful Riad. We loved the experience and would highly recommend it.
