100% participatory workshop to recommend.
Very interesting workshop on making Moroccan flatbread with the possibility of using different flours. The class is 100% participatory and Myriam is very professional, smiling, and competent. I also learned how to make msemen and mint tea. We tasted our creations at the end of the workshop with various sweet and savory accompaniments. The location - a riad, is pleasant and easy to find.

It was an amazing...
It was an amazing experience. Mariam is really helpful and made me feel at ease. We made Msemen and Moroccan bread. She also gave us tips on how to make the perfect Moroccan tea. Highly recommend if you’re looking to do something different!

Great lesson - with delicious results!
What a great afternoon, I loved this course and am really hoping go attempt the recipes again at home. Every step was explained and it was easy to follow. Results were delicious and it was lovely having mint tea and breads at the end together.

Brilliant
It was really great: the workshop is well-paced, the fun is there, and the satisfaction of tasting your own bread at the end is incredible. The recipes are appetizing (typical Moroccan breads) and also well-chosen to reproduce at home!

Highly recommend! 5/5
This was such a lovely experience and I highly recommend! Miriam is very kind and taught us so much about baking bread, making tea, and about Moroccan culture. My husband and I are also vegan and she accommodated us with plant based butter - we are so grateful.

A Taste of Morocco that Shouldn’t Be Missed!
We took a great class with Maryam today. Not only was the bread we made delicious, (especially the Msemen, which is a real treat) but Maryam is a great instructor. She is patient and kind and makes the class an experience that shouldn’t be missed. We highly recommend it!

To you readers of reviews, we recommend a thousand times that you take this time and treat yourselves to this class. We wish you success! Thank you thank you

Delightful Workshop
Miriam’s workshop is a delightful way to spend a couple hours at the end of the afternoon. She teaches you how to make Msemen (Moroccan pancakes) and a traditional flatbread. Miriam is very kind and patient and the class is paced well. At the end of the class you enjoy the efforts of your labour with Moroccan tea and great conversation. Would recommend this experience!
