A Wonderful Cooking Class Experience – Highly Recommended! - We had a great experience at this cooking class and I would definitely do it again. The food was excellent and the staff was very friendly. I think there were about 8–9 of us, and there was more than enough food for everyone. The little trip to the market was fun, and it was nice to see how the fresh ingredients were later used in the cooking. The Riad the course is located in, is also stunning and very quiet and peaceful. It’s also a great opportunity to meet new people from all over the world.

A Flavorful Moroccan Adventure - This was such an amazing experience! I loved discovering the story behind each flavor. Time went by so fast — suddenly, I was already sitting down to enjoy the delicious meal I had cooked with my awesome instructors, Aicha and Ismail. It was a lot of fun, and I’d totally recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and tasty adventure.

28/04 - I had a fabulous experience, accompanied by real saviours, always very easy to find and ready to help. Culinary art was in the spotlight: we went to the market to choose fresh ingredients, which made the adventure even more authentic. The kindness of the staff really marked this day. I had the chance to share this moment with my children, and it was just amazing. An entire experience, rich in discoveries and emotions and tasty , which I recommend to all!

Activity not to be missed!! - A superb immersive experience. We went to buy the vegetables in the souk with Hassan and then prepare tea and dinner with Aisha. They are very welcoming and take the time to explain. It is quite frankly an activity to do with them without regrets!!
