    It was a fantastic experience! Certainly one of Marrakech's highlights. From getting fresh ingredients from the market and eating the meal we have prepared. Kawtar provided us great tips and guidance throughout the process. Chef Khmisa welcomed us at the door like we were family, we had the opportunity to experience local hospitality and genuine morrocan food - which is so rich and delicious. My husband and I were delighted and we absolutely recommend it.

    I booked a...

    Marina_K, Mar 2026
    I booked a vegetarian/vegan cooking class, thinking it would just be that, but it wasn't, we made one vegetable tagine and one chicken tagine, which isn't what I want to be seeing and smelling when booking an experience like this. Also the dessert was with butter and yoghurt, so I couldn't eat it. The food that I had was really good, but I would have liked more explanations and stories, for example regarding the spices we used. All in all it was still a nice experience, especially because the other participants were so lovely.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you for your thoughtful feedback—we’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the food and had a nice time with the group. We’re sorry that the experience didn’t fully match your expectations regarding a fully vegetarian/vegan class. We understand how important that is, and we want to reassure you that a vegetarian menu was made for you with 6 vegan dishes not only 1 tajine

    Take this class $!

    Very fun experience, both of the host were lovely and so enthusiastic about sharing their culture and recipes with our group , all of the food was amazing . I loved learning about the tea and how much meaning is behind each dish . The only downside is that this not strictly a vegetarian cooking class - it’s a mixed class where they separate the vegetarians & meat eaters ( we each made our own main dishes , there was no cross contamination, which I was grateful for ) .

    Great cooking class in the heart of Marrakech

    Kawtar was a great host and guided us all to cooking 4 delicious Moroccan starters as well as a vegetarian tagine (some of the group will make a chicken tagine).

    Amazing cooking class

    Kawtar is a wonderful host, everything was very well organized, very friendly and with clear guidance. I had an amazing experience!

    Excellent cooking class!...

    Excellent cooking class! We made 4 Moroccan starters and a veggie tajine. Very interesting to learn the techniques. Highly recommend.

    Cutting boards were quite disgusting

    AnnChristine_R, Jan 2025
    Cutting boards need to be changed. They have past their best time since long ago. Except from that experience was good.

    Wonderful experience

    Terence_E, Jan 2025
    Excellent fun. It is a mixed class, so if you're pure veggie you'll be sharing a table with some meat. But there were plenty of veggie dishes, delicious salads, and a perfect blend of spices. There is the option to buy some of the spices at the end - but this isn't pushed. A brilliant way to see some of the markets and cook local food.

    Combo cooking class

    Gayle_V, Mar 2024
    The cooking class was good and the food was delicious. However I had explicitly booked a vegetarian and vegan cooking class in Morocco so that I could be in a familiar environment with like-minded people. Upon arriving in the room where we were cooking, it became clear that we were going to be cooking with people who did make a dish with chicken, which I thought was a shame. Presumably this was because otherwise there were not enough people in the cooking class. This made the experience a little less enjoyable for me. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

    Response from Host, Mar 2024

    Thank you Gayle for taking time to leave review about the experience As mentioned in the description, the menu we made was 100% vegan , and the description is not exclusive vegan The other group did cook meat and your friend ( not vegetarian) did eat eat it and enjoyed it We are suprised to know that you felt less joy concerning that

    Lovely afternoon cooking with Kawtar and Khimsa!

    Charlotte_S, Jun 2023
    Kawtar and Khimsa were wonderful hosts, very accommodating to all levels of cooking experience, and taught us to make a delicious vegetarian tagine while the group alongside prepared chicken tagine. We also made veg starters and dessert all together, and had delicious fresh mint green tea. Overall lovely afternoon

    Tea, Tagine, and Treats at Aunties

    Jessica_F, May 2023
    Amazing class at Aunties house with a delightful group of different travelers. Delicious spices and great instructions made for a fun and filling dinner.

    Real Morrocan experience. Needs a more creative and knowledgeable dialogue

    Ricardo_A, May 2023
    Great food and all submerged in the morrocan culture. I wish everyone had done more than watch how the next step was done by your peers. Having said that, the experience was great!

    Well organized and tasty experience

    Suhasini_R, Apr 2023
    Amazing, would recommend this class and the food. Highlight of our trip and a great way to spend a morning. Very well organized, very friendly, and clear guidance. They also have spices available for sale after the class, so you can buy directly from them. We had the vegan tagine, which was so tasty.

    Delicious experience

    Nikki_D, Oct 2022
    Amazing cooking experience in a real Marrakech kitchen. We made delicious food together and then got to enjoy it while getting to know new people. The two ladies who run the course are very sweet as well. Cant recommend it enough.

    Tolle Erlebnis in Marrakech

    Olena_K, Oct 2024
    Der Kochkurs hat uns viel Spaß gemacht. Das Essen hat besser geschmeckt als in den Restaurants, besonders die Vorspeisen. Wir wurden pünktlich abgeholt und konnten dann gemeinsam einkaufen. Ich fand es schade, dass die Nachspeise nicht vegan war. Man konnte es, wenn man eine Zutat weggelassen hat, dennoch probieren.

    Tolles Erlebnis

    Esther_J, Mar 2024
    Sehr süße Truppe. Super hübsche Location. Beide Hosts (Tante und Nichte Kawtar und Khmisa) super süß und lieb. Alles mit viel Herz. Wir haben uns sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt und wurden es auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen.

    Lekker gekookt en gegeten

    Eline_W, Feb 2024
    Heerlijke gerechten gemaakt, goede organisatie en uitleg op een mooie lokatie. Veel geleerd over kruiden en werken met de Tagine.

    Parfait !

    Alice_P, Jul 2023
