    Great time!

    MelissaBrooks, Feb 2024
    What a nice time we had! It ended up being just my husband and I, so a private lesson. There was a mistake with the listing, the 3hr class started at 3pm not 2pm. Once we were able to communicate with the operator, he came quickly and was apologetic. We started off with a tour of the Rcif market. It was wild! So much going on, lots of sights and smells. We tasted fresh goats cheese, olives, pickled items, and freshly made crepes. After all the sampling I was afraid I wouldn’t be hungry for dinner! We arrived at Palais Fes Yahya, the family’s home & restaurant. The whole family was so friendly, kind, and welcoming. Their mother demonstrated cooking the tagine and salads while her son translated. She also let us help do some of the prep work. My husband took notes so we’ll hopefully be able to recreate the recipes at home. When the meal was ready, they brought it up to the rooftop for us to enjoy. Overall an awesome experience!

    Lovely evening

    Abdul and Fatima were very gracious hosts. After shopping at the souk, Fatima allowed me to assist in a wonderful authentic meal. This was exactly the type of experience I was looking for. Wonderful people and a wonderful time!

    A day with locals

    Abdul, Fatima and their son are a lovely family. They took so much care of me. The experience started in their house were te invited me toa mint tea and we sat to discuss the dishes we were going to do. The Abdul took me to the market for the shopping needed and explain me about their culture and way of living. He let me try mani typical things: bread, cheese, sweets, prawns... It was amazing to be able to shop and see the market with a local. When we got all we need we went to their house again and got in the work. Fatima is an excellent cooker and explained me everything in the different dishes. We prepared different salads and chicken with onion, lemon and olives as de main dish. We also prepared something sweet for dessert. When everything was cooked we sat and eat. It was delicious. I did some notes on the recipes and hope to be able to do them to my family soon.

    Best meal of the trip!

    This cooking course was absolutely outstanding! Abdul and Fatima were fantastic hosts who gave us a good overview of the Medina and clear instructions and recipes that my boyfriend and I will certainly take home with us. We’ve been in Morocco for three weeks and Fatima taught us how to make all our favorite dishes (and taught us two tagine instead of one for no extra cost because she declared our favorite too simple to justify a whole course and taught us both) and they were the best we’ve had. A wonderful way to spend an afternoon/evening in fes

    Une tranche de vie inoubliable !

    Expérience magnifique, authentique, pleine de partage, bref exceptionnelle ! Mon mari et moi avons adoré ses quelques heures passées au Palais Fes Yahya sans compter l’expérience que nous a fait vivre au préalable Abdul au sein d’un marché local pour découvrir des produits typiques et acheter les ingrédients nécessaires aux plats que nous allions cuisiner. Mohamed, Amin, Hamza et bien évidemment la cheffe Nawel et sa maman nous ont accueilli avec une gentillesse et une générosité incroyable ! Nawel mérite bien son nom de cheffe, sa cuisine était délicieuse et elle a su parfaitement nous montrer comment faire pour reproduire tous ces plats une fois rentrés chez nous. Merci infiniment à vous tous pour votre gentillesse, votre bonne humeur et votre grand cœur. Vous êtes une belle famille et nous ne vous oublierons pas !
