Hassan was very knowledgeable and spoke amazingly in 3 different languages. His cooking expertise and ability to teach several people simultaneously was excellent. He involved everyone brilliantly. The wide range of food cooked was absolutely delicious
Hassan was Amazing!!!! Best meal we had in Morocco. We book the 4pm and ate dinner at 7:30. Dinner was so good we book another class for lunch in 3 days. We can't wait. Hassan is very knowledgeable and very nice.
We really enjoyed the cooking class. Hassan is very warm and knowledgeable. You will learn, laugh and eat well. Highly recommended
Our half day cooking class with Ahmed and chef Assan is the highlight of our trip so far. Their English was very good, they were warm, helpful and ready to answer all our questions, about food or Moroccan life in general. The experience of going to the market to pick the vegetables and herbs, the tea ceremony and then the hands on cooking was the best we’ve had so far this trip. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Not to be missed!
We met Hassan at the set time and place which was easy to find on foot. We walked to the local market and he guided our selection of fruit and vegetables. We walked on to the cookery school and had the best time! Hahmed explained the way to make mint tea in the Moroccan style. He had flair, panache and (most of all) patience! We enjoyed the tea, and I had just the mint leaves infused in water (as I've an allergy) There were 10 of us and we were all shown guided in how to prepare the veg and meat which we'd eat. We made 2 side dishes and 4 mains. I had vegetarian and my husband had meat. It was all excellent. We made new friends, learned new flavors and enjoyed the experience (and the air con) very much. Go if you have the chance!
Ahmed and Hassan were absolutely brilliant. We learned a lot about Moroccan culture and cuisine. The food we cooked was outstanding and tasted delicious. Great value for money, would highly recommend.
We had a wonderful time with Hassan. He was very welcoming, very good at explaining each step of the recipes and at getting our three children involved. We made five dishes and the food tasted great. We can't wait to try the recipes again, now we're back home. One of the highlights of our week in Morocco.
Ahmed and Hassan provided us with a wonderful and very friendly time. From the market to the plate, this activity was incredible. If you are hesitating, do not hesitate!
Reality exceeds expectations. The group experience is truly engaging and you will be able to take home various insights to use once you return. A point of merit for the wise use of spices. Everything is exquisite! Well done!
Grazie mille per la splendida recensione! Siamo felicissimi che l'esperienza abbia superato le vostre aspettative. Speriamo di rivedervi presto a Marrakech!
Ahmed and Hassan were great and gave us plenty of culinary advice and tips, thanks to them.
Merci beaucoup pour votre gentil retour ! Nous sommes ravis que les conseils et astuces d'Ahmed et Hassan vous aient plu. Au plaisir de vous revoir à Marrakech !
