“Everything was so well organised and informative, thanks to Leyla, who shared so much insight into Moroccan culture, food, and cuisine. She created a fun, educational cultural experience, especially during the market visit and the cooking itself. The class size was perfect, just the right number of people, which made the experience very hands-on and engaging. The staff were incredibly helpful and genuinely kind throughout. My group was full of lovely people, which made it even more enjoyable. This is an absolute must-do if you’re visiting Marrakech.

The dishes are so tasty after you get to eat and definitely well worth the wait.”

Review of Fez’s $56 cooking class, with a market visit, family recipes, hands-on Moroccan cooking, and a shared meal near the Blue Gate.
“WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! My sister and I had the absolute pleasure of joining Kenza and her family for a cooking class, and it was by far the most wholesome and heartwarming experience I’ve ever had while traveling. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed into their home like old friends, and by the end of the evening, we left feeling like part of the family. The cooking itself was incredible—learning traditional recipes in such a warm and authentic setting was unforgettable. But what truly made it special was the time spent together after dinner, just hanging out and chatting like we’d known each other for years. If I…”

“Honestly one of outmost fun experiences EVER! Chamsi was a delight, the shopping, cooking and eating were amazing! Getting to spend time in her home with her husband and son was so special. We learned a lot about the use of Moroccan way of use of fresh in season ingredients and amaxing spices.”

“Edwina was an excellent host and food mentor. After a consultation of what I wanted to get out of the day we put together a lovely menu and cooked up a culinary storm. If you are looking for traditional Morrocan then Edwina can certainly do this. We went off piste, however, and did some more adventurous dishes using a wider range of Moroccan ingredients, combining them in creative ways and using a range of cooking techniques. Edwina was helpful in understanding the ingredients and how to use them. With chef Hesna providing essential support and Rosie as an helpful assistant I had a great time during my day at the…”
Learn to cook Moroccan classics with Maria, shop a Casablanca market, enjoy a home meal, and travel easily with private hotel transfers.
“It was a really nice experience- went to a market and saw where our guide shops. Unfortunately it was Friday so some of the booths were closed. Went to the hosts home and did a hands on cooking class - Tajine and couscous. I have a greater respect for the level of care and work put into the prep of these foods. Had a great experience seeing the beautiful Moroccan salon in the home.”

“This was such an amazing experience learning about Moroccan cooking and culture. The hosts were so kind and welcoming and we learned so much about Moroccan culture. It really felt like a local experience getting to know the community, and was an excellent way to end our trip in Chefchaouen. The food we cooked was really good too!”
Shop Marrakech souks, learn Moroccan tagine from a local chef, and enjoy a private meal in a welcoming riad.
“Het was top de gids was super enthousiast en erg duidelijk, de dames met wie we gingen koken zo ontzettend hartelijk. We waren 3 uur met deze dames samen en we hebben veel gedeeld. Toen er gegeten moest worden kwam de eigenaresse binnen en veranderde de relaxte sfeer. Ze eiste alle aandacht op, de vriendelijke dames trokken zich terug. Jammer ik vroeg eten jullie mee? Maar toen gilde de eigenaresse ik eet toch met jullie. Met andere woorden ze hadden hun taak voldaan en moesten nu weg. Erg jammer, autoritair en een tikkeltje narcistisch. Telefoon op luidspreker en een gesprek hardop laten afspelen tijdens het eten… heel bijzonder. In ieder…”
Learn tagine, shop Agadir’s market, master mint tea, and enjoy a family-run Moroccan cooking class for $48 with hotel pickup.

Cook with a Berber family, shop Imlil market, walk to a waterfall, and enjoy Atlas Mountain views on this Marrakech day trip.
“Syed is a great guide and was a very welcoming host to his home in the beautiful village of Imlil. This family tour company runs a number of small tours around the area, from our cooking class to trail running and hiking. They have a focus on local authenticity and were very flexible, while it would also have been interesting to learn a little more about the village culture. Highly recommend, you will come away incredibly well fed and with an appreciation for the change just over an hour from Marrakech!”
