“Hassan came to collect us from our meeting point and we went straight to the market to buy fresh vegetables for the session. We then walked to Hassan and Ahmed’s cookery school nearby. We learnt to make Moroccan mint tea and then were led through the steps of preparing a traditional Moroccan meal, with 4 tagines and 2 side dishes. The food we produced under Hassan’s guidance was amazing, using spices to create a very tasty meal. Our group was a small mixed group, just 10. They catered for all dietary requirements. Afterwards, Ahmed sent us all a link to the recipes.”

“Everything was so well organised and informative, thanks to Leyla, who shared so much insight into Moroccan culture, food, and cuisine. She created a fun, educational cultural experience, especially during the market visit and the cooking itself. The class size was perfect, just the right number of people, which made the experience very hands-on and engaging. The staff were incredibly helpful and genuinely kind throughout. My group was full of lovely people, which made it even more enjoyable. This is an absolute must-do if you’re visiting Marrakech. The location is great and very central, and it was honestly one of the best experiences I had in the city.”
Cook tagine, couscous, and bread with a Berber family in the Atlas Mountains, with market shopping, mountain views, and lunch included.
“Excellent experience worth the short journey outside the city! Badr and his little “family” are so sweet and warm. They have a good system and know what they’re doing. The food was phenomenal and was far superior to the coincidentally exact same dish I got at a restaurant in the city the night before! It was very fun to make it ourselves although the recipe and execution of making it is quite simple so I don’t know that I really learned anything. Make sure to eat a big breakfast because we were starving by the time we actually ate at the tail end of the experience around 15:00!”
