This was a highlight of our trip! It’s a very different experience than the usual sightseeing or food tours. Yassine graciously welcomes you into his home. He explains each step of making a traditional Moroccan tangine dish including naming all the spices that make it taste so delicious! Lots of conversation, smelling tasting and eating a meal you helped prepare! It was truly like spending time with family in the middle of a trip! Would highly recommend!!

Best meal in Morocco

Joshua_P, Mar 2025

Yassine walked us through creating the best meal we had in Morocco. The experienced started with shopping at the corner bodega to buy vegetables and fruit for the meal and returning to his home. I think we met most of his family as they came and went while we were enjoying tea and learning about Moroccan spices. We then all got busy dicing and chopping, massaging spices into the chicken, and learning Moroccan cooking techniques. The overall experience was about 4 hours. This was definitely one of the best things I did in the country during our trip and would highly recommend! Thanks, Yassine!

Amazing experience, thank you!

This was a brilliant session. The experience in Yassine’s home and school was incredible. Mariam and Ayoob were so friendly, knowledgeable and really welcoming. The cooking experience was so thorough and the food at the end tasted amazing! A really lovely family activity, highly, highly recommended!

Best Cooking Class in all of Morroco!!!

Denise_P, Oct 2024

I highly recommend this cooking class over the others because Yassine is an excellent chef and it takes place in a real morrocan home where I also learned a lot about the Morrocan culture. You won’t get that in a class at a hotel or a Riad. I had a wonderful day cooking with Yassine. He’s a very nice man and he has a wonderful family: sister, and mother. It turned out I was the only one and I was able to participate in the cooking every step of the way. We started with a trip to the local grocery shop nearby where I learned about fruits and vegetables that are not available in the United States. We went back to his home with our fresh produce where I was welcomed with mint tea along with an overview of the major spices used in Moroccan cooking. Then we began chopping peppers, onions, and garlic for the spring rolls and chicken pastilla. I learned many new techniques and enjoyed a nice lunch with Yassine and his Mom. The food was incredibly good! At the end I was given a tour of their lovely home. I highly recommend this experience tour, you won’t be disappointed.

Life changing

Chantia_C, Jun 2023

What an incredible experience! If you're in Bordeaux don't miss it. I ate plates of the food we made. I'll definitely be making this for my friends and family when I'm back home. I wish I could add more stars.

Refreshing activity after days of touring

Super accueil, simplicité et convivialité ont été au rendez vous de cette expérience culinaire et familiale. Un bon moment à partager en couple ou entre amis.

Sehr leckeres Essen, viel gelernt

Timo_H, May 2025

Wir hatten ausversehen den falschen Abend gebucht. Darauf wurde flexibel reagiert und wir konnten an unserem Wunschtermin dazustoßen. Es wurde sich Zeit für uns genommen und das Kochen hat viel Spaß gemacht. Außerdem kann man beliebige Fragen über die marokkanische Kultur stellen und sich gute Tipps abholen. Das Essen war grandios.
