It was amazing. First we went to the local market end bought the ingredients together with the guide. After that we prepared the meal at the families house and finally had the meal. Khadhija and her husband told us a lot about the culture in Marocco, their life and history and he played music together with our kids.
It was a wonderful cooking event. We walked through the market to Khadija and Hussein's house and did some shopping along the way. At their place, we were offered tea, and then we got started. Khadija showed us how to prepare two different flatbreads and chicken with various spices. Delicious! We then received the recipe via WhatsApp so we could try it at home. It was very interesting, and we had very kind hosts.
This was an excellent experience in a famiy home allowing you to get the understanding of Moroccan cooking. The meeting instructions were straightforward, arriving by taxi. Hussein and Kadija were lovely hosts, first shopping locally for ingredients, followed by a cooking lesson on tea making, bread making, warm salads and a sweet lamb tagine. We had a great meal - we couldn't eat it all!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the authentic home cooking experience and learning about Moroccan culinary traditions with Hussein and Kadija. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the shopping, cooking lessons, and the meal together. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again!
Very nice experience with our daughters aged 15 and 12. We felt very welcome. and have really learned something about the rich Moroccan cuisine. Recommended!
We loved the cooking class. The family doing the cooking class is very sympathetic and we were allowed to choose what we want to cook at first, which was also very great. The cooking was fun and we felt right at Kadija and her husband's home. We would recommend it to anyone!!!:)
We were incredibly warmly welcomed by Khadi and Hussein at their beautiful home. We cooked a very delicious tajine and were shown all the steps and spices. We will never forget this experience – it was a very special evening for us!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed cooking the tajine and felt so welcomed by Khadi and Hussein. It means a lot to us that the evening was so memorable for you!
Thank you x this beautiful experience, of teaching us part of your culture through cooking.And open the doors of your home, we have felt part of your family.
¡Muchas gracias por tus palabras! Nos alegra muchísimo que disfrutaran la experiencia y que se sintieran como parte de nuestra familia. Siempre serán bienvenidos en nuestra casa.
This cooking class was a wonderful and authentic experience. The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and cooking in their home made it feel very special. The balance between helping and observing was perfect – never too much or too little. Both hosts speak great English, so communication was smooth. Highly recommended!
Thank you for your kind review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the authentic experience, the warm hospitality, and the perfect balance of participation during the cooking class.
A great introduction to Moroccan cuisine and an excellent welcome from Khadija and Hussein as well as their little boy Amir. I highly recommend this activity
Merci pour votre avis ! Nous sommes ravis que vous avez apprécier l’introduction à la cuisine marocaine et l’accueil chaleureux de Khadija, Hussein et Amir.
Wonderful opportunity to meet a very genuine local family and experience their food and hospitality. There were 4 couples in our group and we all hit it off immediately. Our hosts were friendly and warm and welcomed us in to their home to cook and eat a meal. The food and techniques matter, of course, but that really took second place; as it was the people that made the experience special. Probably the highlight of our trip and will live with us for years to come. Thank you so much.
Thank you for your heartfelt review! We’re thrilled that the warmth of your hosts and the shared experience made your visit so memorable. It means a lot to know it was a highlight of your trip!
