Really enjoyable experience learning to cook Moroccan food - Najla is an extremely knowledgeable chef, very focused on all the details. She taught us how to prepare Moroccan tea, which we found out is not so straightforward. Also she helped us make the most amazing tajines. I will definitely be cooking tajines again once I get home.

The best thing we have done in Marrakech! - We had a great time doing Najla's class! We loved everything from the grocery shopping and exchanging conversations with other locals, being invited into Najla's beautiful home, learning how to make peppermint green tea, meatballs and egg targine and several condiments (and consuming it of course!), as well as learning about the rich Moroccan culture. Naj is a very experienced chef and we cooked hands down the most delicious food we've had in our 2 weeks in Morocco. She provided different recipe options based on our preferences, and says she easily adapts recipes to suit any dietary requirement. There was also an option to make Argan oil for an extra cost for those interested in that. This experience is a great way to spend half a day in Marrakech, and is great value for money. My partner and I can't wait to cook the recipes when we get back home! Thank you, Naj 😁

Cooking with Najla and other guests - Chef Najla was very friendly and welcoming. She made us feel very at ease and made sure she spent time with each of us. She explained each step and made sure none of us missed out when we were preparing other bits. The communal cooking aspect of it around one table is really nice too as it encourages guests to engage with each other. The food cooked was also very fresh and we'll definitely be cooking these again at home!

Exceptional experience with Chef Dajla! - Chef Dajla has a super positive energy and well disposed! Suited the menu to the tastes of all participants, showed us how to buy all the necessary ingredients... He welcomed us in his house - super spacious and suitable for cooking class - and taught us how to prepare Moroccan tea. Afterwards, we prepare a magnificent lunch with 5 entries and 2 main dishes: chicken tagine and cow tagine (almondegas). Spectacular!!

A delightful morning experience - A lovely, relaxed, and informative morning. The host is charming and witty. We learnt lots about Morrocan tea, spices and food. Then, we had a very tasty meal in her charming home.

A fun way to learn the secrets of Moroccan cuisine. - Najla was a wonderful teacher and host. She allowed us to become fully immersed in Moroccan food culture and made the whole experience hugely worthwhile. We made three tagine dishes; one vegetarian and two meat. She explained each step perfectly and in detail. Her knowledge of herbs and spices added a totally different dimension to the act of cooking. The accompaniments were equally of interest and fascinating taste. Simple tomato, cucumber and courgette (zucchini) dishes were raised to a whole new level by the addition of the correct spices and lemon juice, with sugar playing its part and the pickled lemons were a revelation too. Her lesson in how to make green tea was fascinating. I left the class with the intention of buying a decent tagine when I get home and looking forward to cooking for my family all of the dishes we had on the course. I strongly recommend anyone with even a passing interest in cookery to take Najla’s class, you definitely won’t regret it. She is professional, very friendly and extremely welcoming.

Highly recommended!! - We had an incredible time cooking with Najla! Her warmth, expertise, and passion for Moroccan cuisine made for a truly unforgettable experience. From learning traditional techniques to savoring the delicious flavors, every moment was a delight. Najla's cooking class is a must-do for anyone visiting Marrakech. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and we left feeling inspired to recreate the dishes in our own kitchens. Merci, Najla, for sharing your love of cooking with us!" 5/5 stars
