Perfect introduction to Moroccan cooking

Sarah_P, Jun 2025

We spent a lovely morning learning about Moroccan food and culture including tea with chef Yousef! Beautiful tastes and smells all round and great company. My partner and I were there on our own, so we’re paired up with a lovely bunch from Australia, NZ & Canada on our class. We made 3x tagines, 3x salads and some cous cous…and there was even surprise dessert ☺️ set in beautiful lush surroundings with a little farm at the back. Highly recommended!

Excellent experience! Stop researching, choose this class!

Sitaara_A, Sep 2024

Loved this class! Seamless pick up, spectacular class. The best and most wide-ranged menu I saw in the area, plus really top quality ingredients. Everything organic. Chef Siham was so wonderful and event talked us through how to make some other dishes we enjoyed in Morocco. Also, leftover food is donated to nearby villages and this farm is employing locals to help with the baking and pastries. LOVE their work and mission.

A must try experience

Sacha_P, Mar 2024

This was without reservation one of the best cooking experiences I have participated in. The hosts/ teachers were so knowledgeable, fun and genuinely lovely young ladies. I learnt so much about Moroccan cuisine and culture. It was also such a stunning environment. The garden setting is beautiful. This is a must do experience.

The Cooking Class is a MUST DO

Sommer_W, Oct 2019

This class was perfect! The chef was personable and a great teacher. We were able to purchase the paella dish and supplies after the class for a discount. Also, the Sangria was AMAZING!!! I enjoyed the class and the paella was the best I had in Spain.

Had a great venture in the countryside with Rokaya and her staff for learning not only how to make traditional tagine and couscous but also the cultural heritage. Invaluable insights! Highly recommend!

We cooked 4 different dishes in this lengthy class. The chefs were right there to help us every step of the way. I liked that they picked us up at our riad or hotel for free. We even got a certificate at the end.

Charles B, Dec 2017

My wife and I were picked up from our riad on the edge of the medina in a private van. We were driven across town to a village about 50 km away for the class. The class started with the making of mint tea by the village al qaim, Hassan while of course getting some instruction from Chef Yousseff on tea making. The class was intimate and we got a lot of attention in making the various dishes. I daresay the chicken tagine we made was the best I ate in Morocco. We learned about spices, making preserved lemon and how to make couscous and bread, among other things. A short walk through the village offered a break before lunch to sample our creations. This class was fabulous.

This was the best!!! Just be prepared for an hour drive out from Merrakech. The chef was the best, from start to finish. We learned so much not to mention the food was great!

Shilpa S, Mar 2017

This was an unexpected surprise of a tour. Chef Tarik was so good at creating an experience. Every moment was orchestrated and carried out by a team that knew exactly what to do. We all felt like we learned so much about Moroccan cooking, but more importantly, we learned the true historical traditions to the cooking and the Moroccan culture. We did this on day 1 of our Marrakech trip and we felt so much more prepared for every other tour and meal. Chef Tarik's understanding of food was truly expert. His experience and understanding food as medicine was exceptionally nice. As a preventative care physician who encourages scratch, whole foods cooking, this menu passed my test and my bar is set high. I never expected an organic farm to table experience where we literally collected the herbs and vegetables that would then be on our table in gourmet fashion. Kudos to this team and highly recommend this as a must-do!

Très bonne journée, avec un très bon accueil et une préparation de plats variés. Très beau cadre. Beaucoup de rencontres agréables.

UN ENCHANTEMENT POUR LES SENS ET LE COEUR

GAELLE_G, Nov 2021

Magnifique rencontre avec le chef Youssef et Sihame qui vous accueillent dans un lieu magique et luxuriant au milieu d'un paysage désertique à 25 km de Marrakech. Pédagogie de l'enseignement de la cuisine marocaine. On touche, on sent, on cuisine, on apprend et on goute! Quel régal. Cérémonie du thé, pain chaud sorti du four en terre, repas préparé et cuit sur les braises, nous sommes repartis plein d'odeurs et de saveurs mais également plein de joie de nos échanges simples et généreux de nos hôtes! N'hésitez pas, c'est un enchantement. Le trajet est offert jusque là.
