A great dose of taste and fun!
The concept of cooking class is really excellent on every aspects. The warm and friendly welcome mood, the veggies and grocery shopping at the souk, the cooking class with the very friendly chef Fatima and the overall time spent with the wonderful and solar Maryem! Ending up the great experience with a perfect tasting on the rooftop. A joyful, qualitative and cultural experience for our teenagers. Thank you all for this great day!

Yeah, good!
The experience was really at the top of what we could expect with the companion. The Riad is really very quiet which allowed us to escape fully. Thank you to MERYEM and MOHAMMED and SALIMA for accompanying us all day.

Amazing shopping cooking & eating course!
Maryem made this an amazing day for us all. She provided a wonderful tour of the markets and explained so much to us about the Moroccan cuisine along the way. The cooking and learning experience back in the Riad was top class. We really could not have expected more. If you only plan one thing in Marrakesh, make sure its a designated culinary experience with Maryem. The food was authentic and incredibly flavoursome. Perfection!
Operator response
Thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt words. It truly means a lot to me.. I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the market tour and the cooking experience at the riad. Sharing Moroccan cuisine, traditions, and flavors with you was a real pleasure. Your words are incredibly motivating, and I’m grateful you chose to spend this special moment with us. I hope the memories (and recipes!) stay with you for a long time. You will always be very welcome back in Marrakech
