Fluent in French, English, Arabic, and Berber, I love connecting with people and sharing the richness of Moroccan culture, deeply rooted in values of hospitality and generosity. I offer varied menus including a starter (fresh or cooked), a main course, and a homemade dessert, all prepared using fresh, high-quality, and mostly local ingredients, with a mindful approach to sustainability. My goal is to offer more than just a cooking class: a unique cultural and culinary experience, filled with warmth and authenticity, that you will remember long after it ends. I also pay special attention to cleanliness and hygiene, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment throughout the entire experience.

Perfect cooking activity with a couple who were way too welcoming and warm! I recommend it 1000%!!!
We enjoyed discovering Moroccan cuisine by making a tagine with Khadija A moment of sharing rich in flavors and culture that was followed by the tasting Thank you very much!!
Our cooking class took place directly in a Moroccan family. We were allowed to cook in a beautifully furnished apartment. Everything was clean and prepared. We were allowed to cook couscous with vegetables and chicken. Khadija and Mohammed were great hosts and gave us a wonderful evening. Khadija showed us how to prepare it, while Mohammed treated us with tea and cookies in between as we waited for cooking steps. They worked harmoniously as a team, and we had a wonderful exchange over many hours. The food tasted so delicious, we will cook it in Germany as soon as our large Moroccan plate arrives. We love Morocco and the hospitality one encounters there. Thank you both for this delightful evening, and if you come to Germany, we look forward to treating you to a Swabian dish. Warm regards from the four of us: Benschamin, Laila, Angi, and Andreas
Mohammed and Khadija are very kind and welcoming hosts. I would highly recommend this to experience authentic Moroccan food and hospitality, where you really feel welcome in the country and culture:)
In addition to learning Moroccan cuisine, we had a pleasant time with Khadija and Mohammed.
A big thank you for the warm welcome, kindness, and sharing of this expertise. I highly recommend this activity to those who wish to experience a true moment of discovery during their stay in Essaouira!
We had a wonderful experience with Khadija & her husband. Was only myself & my husband which made it even more more intimate. We had an incredibly warm welcome into their beautiful home and learned a lot about Moroccon cooking in general and specifically learned how to cook vegetable & kofta tagines. And as an incredible bonus, Khadija taught us how to make harcha bread as I'd asked about some tips for cooking it. We had a great time and spent some time chatting whilst enjoying the food we had cooked. Cannot recommend this enough. It was a fantastic evening. Thank you again.
If I had one word to describe this experience, it would be: authentic. Khadija welcomed us like her own family. She explained to us how to make tagines and some traditional Moroccan salads. She also provided the recipes for our prepared dishes as well as others. The entire activity was filled with interesting discussions. Her big heart is evident through the many gifts that delighted our taste buds (tea, cakes, seasonal fruits). She was attentive and understanding throughout. I highly recommend the activity; it was a highlight for my friend and me, both for the delicious cuisine and for her and her very endearing husband.
What a memorable evening! Khadija welcomed us in her beautiful home and taught us how to prepare and cook a delicious chicken lemon and vegetarian tajine. We also had mint tea and biscuits while having great conversations in her living room. We received the recipes afterwards and will definitely try this at home! I'm so glad I chose to do this class, I felt at home and definitely recommend this experience! Shukran Khadija for making my day a special one!
