A really nice way to spend an evening. We were well looked after in a real Moroccan kitchen and taught how to make an authentic tagine. We then got to enjoy the meal with our hosts which was really interesting where we could learn more about them and their culture. Highly recommend this to any visitors to Marrakesh.

We loved our cooking class with Ahmed! Ahmed and Zachariah were super warm, amazing cooks, and a great time! We really enjoyed spending time in a local home and learning about the culture. We made chicken and kefte tagines that were absolutely delicious! I can't wait to make them at home.

    Fun experience for all

    It’s a very nice experience but pretty hard to locate the place. Also we felt that since the groups are very small the hosts could have asked ahead of time about meat/ vegetables preference. Anyway, at the end the food we cook was great- better than in some restaurants

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thanks Victoria! It was a pleasure to meet you and cook with you 🙏🏽

    A wonderful cooking class

    Elena_A, Nov 2025
    We had a cooking class with Ahmed during our trip to Morocco, it was a wonderful experience! The fact that it was at his home was an added value for us! We cooked and ate together talking about Moroccan life and culture, and in the end he even sent us recipes of prepared dishes. I would really recommend everyone to have this experience, and Ahmed is a fantastic teacher!

    Nice moment of cooking in a Moroccan house. Welcoming was warm and the dishes delicious. We were with our 8 and 10 year olds who are a bit clumsy but that was no problem. Thank you!
