We had a great time at... - We had a great time at this cooking class. The hosts were very friendly and it was really fun to go to the market to buy the food and spices. We also really enjoyed eating on the sunny rooftop. We felt like cooking was a nice way to get to know the culture a bit more.

The environment, the scents, the colors, the people all really special. Go to the market then immerse yourself in the kitchen and then go up.. - It was a really great experience. I recommend you try. Ending the experience enjoying what has been cooked is priceless

Brilliant Experience. - Everyone was so welcoming and went above and beyond to make this a memorable experience. We had trouble finding the venue but made it to a near-by tourist attraction and were collected by one of the lovely staff. All the staff at the venue were friendly and super helpful, there was a lovely atmosphere. After a very enjoyable trip together to the local market it was fun preparing our meal together with expert guidance. We then chatted on the beautiful rooftop terrace before we enjoyed the fruits of our labour.

Experience to try - Beautiful experience. We were escorted to the market to shop. Then we cooked under the supervision of the chef and ate all together on the terrace. Definitely a nice immersion in Moroccan culture.

Foodie fun - A really fun way to spend a morning and lunchtime in Marrakech. We were given coffee and mint tea before we headed out to the markets to buy our ingredients, and then learnt how to make bean soup, tagine, cous cous, and a milk dessert. It was a very relaxed day, and we didn't have room for an evening meal after our lunch on the amazing rooftop terrace with views of the Atlas mountains behind us!

Really great way to spend being shown a market, buying spices then preparing a traditional three course meal. - This was a great way to spend a day making Morroccan food, three courses, then eating the prepared food on the rooftop terrace overlooking Marrakesh. We went as a family and all agreed it was a great outing and experience. Highly recommend
