Ahmed and Afaf cooking class- a must-do experience for foodies

Ivy_J, Oct 2025

This was a wonderful experience start to finish. The tour of the market, the open conversations around Jordanian culture, the cooking class from showing us the ingredients and techniques for preparing the dishes. Ahmed and Afaf were wonderful hosts. Ahmed was flexible with the starting time to allow for a relaxed experience. This is a great adventure for folks who want a bit more in depth exposure to cooking Jordanian food and discussing the Jordanian way of life. Ahmed was very easy to communicate with via WhatsApp. He guided us through the market stopping at a variety of shops to get the ingredients all the while explaining the Jordanian approach to the fresh food. It was a lot of fun actually preparing the dishes with him and Afaf. Just a wonderful experience.

Great experience

Great experience - food was delicious and preparation was extremely smooth and well thought out. Host was an obvious expert and had a passion for good food. Lovely atmosphere in general made the experience even more complete
