Fantastic food experience

Colleen_P, Jun 2024

The food was delicious and Fatiha and her mother were fabulous . We felt very comfortable and welcomed in their house. There was laughter and insightful discussion around the food we prepared. The entire experience was amazing.

Fatiha rocks - excellent experience

Gus_C, Apr 2024

Fatiha and her mother were wonderful. We learned how to prepare Moroccan tea and food, had great conversation and felt at home in her home. The meal was incredibly delicious and filling. Great thing to do at the beginning of your trip to meet others and get ideas and tips of what to do.

Very nice experience with very friendly and open people. You feel directly at home with Fatiha and Samira. The cooking was great and it was sooo nice to eat it all. Afterwards we received the recipes. I would definitely recommend it.

Thank you so much for your review

A lovely cooking experience

Kate_S, Feb 2024

So much fun! Starting in the market to collect produce then back to Fatiha’s house for cooking with her and her Aunt. It was excellent. Our group was lovely (all Brits!) and we got to converse whilst Fatiha and Aunt showed us what to do. We ate everything we made which included a lovely tagine, beautiful cous cous and a fruit dessert. All washed down with Moroccan tea-a delightful few hours inside their lovely house

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you very much, Kate! We're thrilled that you enjoyed it.

Cooking in the old Medina of Marrakech

Rita_E, Dec 2022

What a great experience from shopping with Fataha at the market to going to Samira’s home to cook and eat the wonderful Moroccan food we helped to prepare. We were there with the family when Morocco won the football game at the World Cup and it was such a fun experience. Thank you ladies for a fabulous experience in the old Medina of Marrakech. Us Kentucky and Texas folks won’t forget it.
