Fluent in French, English, Arabic, and Berber, I love connecting with people and sharing the richness of Moroccan culture, deeply rooted in values of hospitality and generosity. I offer varied menus including a starter (fresh or cooked), a main course, and a homemade dessert, all prepared using fresh, high-quality, and mostly local ingredients, with a mindful approach to sustainability. My goal is to offer more than just a cooking class: a unique cultural and culinary experience, filled with warmth and authenticity, that you will remember long after it ends. I also pay special attention to cleanliness and hygiene, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment throughout the entire experience.

Essaouira is a city of pirates and adventurers, where around every corner, you'll uncover some amazing stories of betrayal and nobility, love and hate, of mind-blowing adventures and triumph. Being a favourite destination for Musicians and artists from all around the world, Essaouira has squares and alleys filled with music and acrobats and Africans dancing to concerts on the beach among the thundering roar of the ocean at night. Essaouira is a bustling fishing port with a market offering a fantastic array of ocean creatures, a bustling port that smells far from pleasant and is, therefore, lively and authentic. Essaouira is a favourite destination for filmmakers; titles such as Game of Thrones, Othello, Phaedra and Kingdom of Heaven were filmed here. What matters most are the ocean, the sun, the incredible sunrises and sunsets and the smiles of everyone you meet. The love of Essaouira will remain with you forever!
