Great cooking class!
Great experience with Osema and others on the team. The cooking class was great (tagine, eggplant, salad, desert) as was learning about how to make tea. Highly recommend.

Excellent shared moment
Excellent experience -the Riyadh is superb, the whole team is adorable!only small downside:do not book during Eid-our initial booking could not be honored and we could not make the market as expected .....the dishes we cooked (a tagine and two hot salads) were delicious and the young woman who gave us the class smiling and pedagogue .....A big thank you to Mohcîne and his team ,d a great kindness and kindness -this will remain an excellent memory

No show
Don't book this. I contacted several times before our planned tour but no response. On the day they never showed up to collect us. We had 4 dsys in marrakech so tight schedule totally fed up as ruined a whole day's plans. Don't waste your money.
Operator response
Dear customer, you booked the cooking class at 10:00 a.m. Our team waited for you and tried to call you several times. You finally answered at 12:00 p.m. and asked to reschedule the class for 4:00 p.m., but we said we were not available. Please delete your comment.

Wonderful
Absolutely wonderful. If you’re looking to find an experience where you learn so much about food culture in a fun environment in a beautiful house this is the one for you.
B
An absolutely recommended experience
Everything is very well organized. Lyla is attentive, kind and very prepared. shopping at the market is fun. The group collaborated in the preparation of the dishes with great availability and we met friendly people open to dialogue and the recipes were very interesting due to the richness of the spices and little-known ingredients. In the end the lunch was rich and the chicken tajin was fantastic.

Definitely a highlight of our trip!
We had a wonderful afternoon and learned an incredible amount about Moroccan cuisine. The tagine was very tasty - as vegetarians we made a tagine with vegetables, the starter and dessert were vegetarian anyway. We would definitely recommend the cooking course .
V
Loved it! 10/10 would recommend .
I would recommend everyone to do this cooking class while in Marrakech. The family made it a very personal and authentic experience, and you can take the recipes home. The hosts were so kind and hospitable and answered all our questions about the recipes, the food, the spices and traditional cooking. Especially as a vegetarian I felt so appreciated, we made a separate berber tagine and all the salads were vegetarian so i had no problem eating them.
