Khadija gave us a great introduction to cooking Moroccan cuisine! I especially loved her hospitality as we were greeted with tea and the most delicious almond ghrabi pastries. She does a pastry class as well which I will definitely book the next time I am in Rabat! Thank you, Khadija, we had a wonderful time!

Very authentic cooking experience. We assisted in making chicken tangine and Marokkeen pizza (bread) which tasted great. Would recommend for anyone especially if you can speak French (English works but limits the conversation a bit).

We had so much fun with Khadijah! We felt so welcome in her home and with her family and the food was delicious! This is a really unique experience and I would highly recommend booking if it sounds fun to you.

Its very interesiting to be inside the home of a local and she is very knowledgeable in Morocan cuisine. You will meet other people there, thats always a good thing. They might no do the class if its just you.

My friend and I booked this lesson the night before, and it blew our expectations away. The home is amazing, Khadija and her son are both super warm, and we had a fantastic time cooking together!

We had an amazing time at the cooking class! We prepared a delicious fish pastilla, and she explained everything clearly, giving us plenty of time to take notes. We also received a warm and heartfelt welcome in her home. Highly recommended!

What a wonderful experience. Think of it more as a private chef cooking for you in her home than a traditional cooking class. The food was delicious and we spent about 3.5-4 hours there. She did the bulk of the cooking. We helped cut and took notes. She made a lamb tagine with sides of zucchini, carrots, peppers, potatoes and two types of bread. Time very well spent!
Sharon_G, Apr 2025
What a terrific experience learning from Khadija who taught us the secrets of Moroccan cooking. The Chicken Tagine, two side dishes, and two breads were all delicious and it was such fun being with an excellent instructor and lovely lady!

Wonderful opportunity to help prepare and enjoy a delicious traditional Moroccan meal. Chef is very organized and has a great sense of humor. The spices used in preparing the zucchini and green beans made them the best we’ve ever eaten.
Coach_C, Jul 2024
She was amazing! From the tea and cookies to providing paper and pen for notes to providing takeout containers. My son loves to cook and he loved the experience and helping with the prep. Would come back if ever in Morocco again. Best meal of the trip so far.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted you had an amazing time with Chef Khadija, from the tea and cookies to the thoughtful touches like notes and takeout containers. We're thrilled your son loved the experience too. We hope to welcome you back to Morocco for another great meal! Safe travels!

We started out with tea and sweets, which we all loved. We met the chef, Khadija, and her son (as well as a few other family members.) Chef Khadija taught us to make tajine, several vegetable sides, and breads. It was all delicious and the conversation during the meal was a wonderful learning experience for our family.
My favorite part was watching her interact with my children. She was so kind and patient with them as they learned from her expertise. It was a beautiful experience and I would wholeheartedly recommend it!
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed starting with tea and sweets, and that you felt welcomed by Chef Khadija and her family. It’s wonderful that you found the cooking class, making tajine, vegetable sides, and breads, both delicious and educational.
We are especially happy to know that Chef Khadija's interaction with your children made the experience memorable. Her kindness and patience truly shine through, and we are glad your family felt enriched by the time spent together. Your wholehearted recommendation means a lot to us. We look forward to welcoming you back for another beautiful culinary experience!

What an incredibly delightful experience with Chef Khadija!!! Her welcoming spirit and ready smile were the highlights of our experience but right next to it was the delectable delight of the food my wife and I were thrilled to help (careful with that word, she did all the hard work) prepare under the watchful eyes of one of the most gentle souls we've ever met.
The main dishes prepared included Chicken Tajine and Batboute (which we helped mix and knead the old fashion way). Just before finishing preparing the food, Chef Khadija asked my wife if she wanted to wear a beautiful traditional dress to enjoy with the traditional dishes we were taught to make. Needless to say, my wife was made to feel and look like a Moroccan queen!
Chef Khadija is such a precious and inviting person who exudes the grace and warmth of the beauty of the Moroccan people and culture. She made us feel like we weren't just guests but family members. If you're in Casablanca for a few days, take the train (or taxi) ride to the beautiful City of Rabad (about an hour away) and enjoy the hospitality of one of the most authentic and knowledgeable Moroccan chefs you'll ever meet. Doing so will help you learn the simple lesson that humans everywhere were designed by our Creator to live in peace around one of the most common things we all do -- break bread around a table from the bounty of the earth.
This "tour" and cooking class is a MUST for anyone who wants to go beyond Casablanca to one of the most beautiful cities in Morocco (Rabat), learn to cook from a pro a quintessential Moroccan dish, and while doing so enjoy the company of the nicest chef (sorry, Chef Ramsay) you'll ever meet.

It’s heartwarming to know that her welcoming spirit and the delicious dishes made your time with us so memorable. We're thrilled that you enjoyed making Chicken Tajine and Batboute the traditional way, and that your wife felt like a Moroccan queen in the traditional dress.
Chef Khadija indeed embodies the grace and warmth of Moroccan culture, and it’s wonderful to hear that she made you feel like family. Your recommendation for others to visit Rabat and experience this unique cooking class means a lot to us. We are grateful for your appreciation and hope to welcome you back for another culinary adventure in the future. happy cooking!

This cooking class was everything we wanted! Chef Khadija was very welcoming. We cooked chicken Tagine and Badboute bread. I also asked if it was possible to make Za'alook because I've really enjoyed it in Morocco and she was able to accommodate.
Response from Host, Jul 2024

Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another culinary adventure soon. Happy cooking!

This was a great find. Chef Khadija's house was beautiful as was the neighborhood. We were greeted in true Moroccan fashion with mint tea and sweets. We then went to the kitchen and "helped" prepare our meals. Lots of cutting onions, garlic, peppers, etc and then adding spices to the tagine. We watched her make 2 different types of bread which were very tasty. As she prepared most of the food, chicken and vegetables, we watched how it was done so we could then do it ourselves when we came home. She encouraged us to take notes. She had Google translate which helped us with the many questions we had for her. Because of this great time, we purchased a tagine after we got home and can't wait to make our own meals. Come hungry.
Erin_S, Oct 2023
Chef Khadija was so sweet (and patient despite us only speaking English) throughout the class. She welcomed us into her beautiful home and we left very full!
Eliz_D, Jun 2023
I love these classes and I will be back next year when I visit Morocco again. The Chef is exceptional, she answered all my questions. Explaining things like what a 1/2 tea cup in liquid measurement equals. Her directions were very clear and I will be duplicating these recipes when I get back home
Jane_B, Mar 2023
Lovely people. Cleanest house ever. She spoke very little English but this was not a problem. Food was delicious. Highly recommend.

If you want an authentic cooking class taught by an experienced chef, look no further than Chef Khadija! We had an amazing experience making traditional Moroccan Pastilla- an amazing, detailed dish with flavors that are out of this world. Chef Khadija was welcoming, her home was lovely and the experience is one we will not forget. Don't think twice, just book it!!!

We had a great time and an amazing cooking experience! Needless to say the food tasted very good!
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to get to know the Moroccan kitchen and very nice people!
Jaque_G, Mar 2022
I attended this class alone and was delighted to participate in making an excellent couscous with beef, zucchini, pumpkin, caramelised onions, almonds and dates. Chef Khadija is a very warm and helpful instructor, assisted by her sister Marla who speaks excellent English. The house was relatively easy to find, if you go by taxi.
Amelie_W, Sep 2025
Very nice and personal. Khadija is an excellent cook. We have traditionally cooked chicken pastilla.

Experience highly recommended to get out of the usual.
Khadija is very friendly and cordial.
It welcomes you into its own home and teaches you absolutely everything you need to cook your own Moroccan meals (Tajín, side roasts and Moroccan bread in our case) in a relaxed and fun Mood.
A great success to have chosen this activity, highly recommended

J'ai passé un excellent moment avec Khadija, qui est une professeure remarquable. Nous avons même pu réaliser plusieurs plats en une seule leçon ! Je recommande vivement.

Super moment passé en compagnie de Khadija. Nous avons préparé une succulente tagine au poulet ainsi que le pain et 2 accompagnements ( dont un caviar d’aubergines). Je recommander vivement cette activité pour toute personne passant à Rabat et qui s’intéresse à la cuisine marocaine, vous ne serez pas déçu.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Merci pour votre avis positif! Heureux que vous ayez apprécié cuisiner avec ma mere chef Khadija. Votre recommandation nous encourage beaucoup. Espérons vous accueillir à nouveau à Rabat pour d'autres moments culinaires.

Nous avons réalisé un cours de cuisine avec une cheffe expérimentée. Après avoir été super bien accueilli avec un thé et des pâtisseries faites maison, cheffe Khadija nous a prêté des chaussures et un tablier. Elle nous a fourni des crayons et des feuilles pour pouvoir prendre en notes toutes les étapes importantes a la création d’un tajine et de batboutes. A l’écoute de toutes nos questions, elle a su nous guider et transmettre sa passion tout en s’adaptant a notre rythme. Elle nous a gentiment proposé d’essayer des tenues traditionnelles marocaines tout en dégustant nos réalisations. Un peu dessus de ne pas avoir manger avec elle mais le métier de cheffe prend beaucoup de temps et nous le savons!
Nous avons passé un moment magique à ses côtés que nous renouvèleront volontiers pour apprendre l’art de la pâtisserie marocaine!
Nous recommandons sans hésiter
