Really good cooking class
We had a really good experience with this cooking class and only can recommend it. Abdou learned us how to make a very good Tajine. He informed us about the spices, the herbs and the ingredients in general. It was really nice to cook and talk with him. He also teached us a bit of the arabic language. Thank you!

Brilliant
Simply brilliant! We had a great time with Abdou, everything was correctly explained, the ingredients were of quality. We ate several tajines during our stay but none were as good as those cooked during the cooking class. I recommend this course to you 100%.

Great cooking class!!!
This cooking class was absolutely wonderful! We had a chance to create a wonderful meal with expert guidance from the chef. He also included some historical and social learning about food and culture in Morocco. We had plenty of time to talk about our experiences and try the food we had made. Really wonderful experience!!!

Very nice discovery
Thanks again for this cooking class in Essaouira, it was a really nice moment, filled with meetings and sharing. We loved preparing the candied lemon chicken tagine and the kefta tagine, and even more enjoying them with our kitchen mates! An experience to renew without hesitation to discover other recipes. It’s a very nice way to visit the area otherwise. Thank you Abdou for your welcome and good mood! See you soon

Delightful and personal experience
Abdou is very friendly and received us in his own home. Nice way to get to know the local culture a bit better. All fresh ingredients made delicious dishes! Highly recommended
C
Exceptional
Friendly moment. Abdou is a passionate and exciting animator. His sister Fatima in the shadows makes all the preparations. You learn through cooking a little culture and local history. It was delicious.

Love food? You have to do this!
We had a great time! Abdou is such a warm and generous host, we really felt like he had invited us into his home to share in a real passion of his - cooking. Between 7 of us we made 4 tajines and learned so much. We highly recommend Abdou and his cooking experience.
