Wholeheartedly recommend - Would thoroughly recommend, we had a great time and understand entirely why this activity is so positively reviewed. The class was well delivered, fun and involved without feeling like being back at school, the food was very tasty and we will definitely be taking recipes home to recreate. Also, excellent value for money.

A great cooking experience with really knowledgeable chefs - A great experience of visiting a food market then cooking lovely Moroccan food. Although quite a large crowd (about 20 people) everyone was included and felt part of the cooking process. The chefs were really l.owledgable and shared lots of great information about cooking, spices etc

Local experience at its best! - Very interactive and fun class with plenty of food for tasting! Definitely worth it the money! Fantastic experience and taste of local and authentic cuisine. Joined a group of around twenty people with Laila and her family to provide us a flavour of life in Morocco. Went to the Mara key to buy produce, then headed back to Leila’s home to cook together and sample our efforts afterwards. Delicious!! Thank you.

A very fun half day spent with warm, welcoming and experienced local chefs - Chef Laila and her family were wonderful hosts and teachers who taught us how to make a few tasty Moroccan dishes. Much appreciated that they shared the recipes afterwards. It was also nice that the class involved a multicultural group setting with Darija, French, Spanish, German and English-speakers from different nationalities.

Great atmosphere, a big thank you - Cooking lessons at the top, in a great atmosphere! It was very friendly, very cheerful. I'll fix it 100%. We cooked a starter and two Moroccan dishes that we then ate all together. I loved the welcome of the whole team, and especially the good humor of Asma and Hamza who made us laugh a lot. They are two authentic people who are committed to discovering their cuisine and culture.
Undoubtedly the experience we preferred all our stay here.

Wonderful experience for newcomers to Morocco! - Chef Laila and her family were wonderful! We had a great time preparing food at her Riad. She's engaging and hospitable, and we were very comfortable in her house. Her daughter Usna was fun to be around! She helped us shop for the vegetables at the local market. Would certainly recommend this to tourists to get an authentic Moroccan experience. The only drawback was the lack of interesting vegetarian dishes, since we don't eat meat. This seems to be a problem across Marrakech, and we got tired of eating couscous and Tajine vegetables.
