a special day! - During our stay in Fez, my friends and I took this wonderful cooking class. It was a perfect experience, and cooking with Imad's family was amazing. His mother guided us through every step and shared excellent tips. We highly recommend this experience!

Absolutely amazing - Absolutely amazing and perfect experience. From being picked up at our hotel, to meeting with the family in the market to pick out the food for our meal, to the family's beautiful home, we were completely at ease. We assisted in the full meal preparation and were given step by step instructions along the way. All of our questions about the food, local customs, and Morocco culture. The meal was the best meal we had during our entire trip. The family, home, and experience was perfect!

Excellent experience! - I was a little hesitant at first to go to someone's personal home to do this...but this was literally the best meal we had while in ALL of Morocco! The family was so welcoming! Their home was very clean. Our main contact (Ihmed?) was the brother and he spoke pretty fluent English. The mom was so very hospitable, funny and friendly. And the 2 sisters were also helpful and friendly. The 4 of us felt very safe going to a marker near their home with them to pick out all of the fresh food and spices to make our meal. Highly recommend doing this! It was truly authentic! And our most favorite experience while here.

Authentic experience! - Fantastic, authentic experience! Yahya (son, 37) spent an hour walking with us through the local food market and we bought the items we needed to prepare our meals. We loved this part of the experience as much as we did preparing/ cooking and eating the food. He showed us all of the different local spices, veggies, etc. Spent another 3 hrs at their house/ apartment, helping his mother prepare, cook and eating the traditional Moroccan food. Very authentic experience with wonderful food. Sooooo much food. Mint tea, cookies, three salads, two main courses and wonderful fruit/ cookies for desert. 100% recommend. Would definitely do it again!

Delicious! - We had a fantastic meal with this family! Best in Morocco! The family was very welcoming and we enjoyed talking to the son who speaks perfect English and translated the cooking instructions from his mother. It also was fun to talk to him about his travels and life in Morocco. His sisters helped out and they made some amazing dishes alongside their Mother. It was a very enjoyable evening!

Great experience with local family. - All family members were really nice. The organizer speaks English fluently and recommended us many places to visit in Fes. We bought together fresh veggies at a local market with sisters, they were really friendly. Then they drove us to their house and we cooked tanjir with the mother of the family, she is a professional cook. It was a really interesting experience . The food in the end tasted delicious. A perfect idea for a date for couples or for a good quality time to spend with friends. I would recommend this cooking class with a local family 😍👍🏼

Highly recommend this cooking class for all. - Imad was fantastic and i whould highly highly recommend this activity. It was extremely well organised, he speaks fluent English and the food was delicious. He took us to a local market where the locals go and let us try a few things here and there. His mother is the cook and showed us how to prepare the dishes. You get to eat alot so i recommend not filling up beforehand as you will be very full. Very friendly and professional, would do it again 100%!
