A really nice and tasty experience! - A very nice and tasty experience. The group was first divided into English-speaking and French-speaking, and then we first went to a Moroccan cooking studio via the market (to do some shopping). You will receive the recipes later and you will make and receive appetizers and two tagines and also a typical Moroccan dessert. Had a wonderful morning!

Great evening meal - A great experience. We were picked up by a guide who spoke excellent English and took us to the market to buy vegetables. Then we came back to her auntie’s kitchen. Everyone had vegetables to prepare and the group gelled around this. We made starters and tajine and it was excellent

An outstanding gastronomic experience - This was a great experience. We had a small friendly group and were all involved in shopping and food prep. We then had the pleasure of eating an excellent dinner we had shared the preparation of.

A lovely experience. - We really enjoyed the food class and I’ve already made one of the recipes since getting home! One minor improvement I would make would be a little more on the history of Moroccan food, but that’s probably a me thing. I would really recommend though and it is definitely worth the money.

Great family experience - Wonderful experience from start to finish. Meet and meeting place on time, took the small group in the the food area of the souks, only a few minutes walk away, to buy all the fresh vegetables and meet required for our cooking experience. Once we'd arrived, we were offered traditional mint tea, and saw how it was prepared and why, we all had a go at Pouring our own mint tea. Then we were guided to the tables and expertly guided in the preparation of the vegetables, talked through about the spices and how to make the sauces. Everyone was given a tasks to do throughout and help was always on hand. Once we'd finished prepping the vegetables, and watched how it was all added to the tagines for cooking. Once the food was ready, we all sat down and enjoyed 3 traditional starters, vegetable tangible and a chicken tangine, accompanied with local bread. Water was provided as well. It was a lovely,fun experience to do with my husband and daughter, and also talking to other families of different countries. Well worth it, and shall certainly be cooking some once home, as its quite easy ...

Moroccan fun eats! - The food was phenomenal, getting to learn Moroccan cuisine from a local and being able to shop in the souk for our ingredients. My only suggestion for the host to maybe do a quick round table introduction so we can meet our fellow cooks, helps as a little ice breaker. Overall good fun and good fun! Definitely for those that love cooking and learning new things. A good introduction to Morroco.
