Cooking Class with Bread Workshop and Pastry in Fes

Wow. What a magical experience getting to really understand how it is to cook like a Moroccan but also live like one to. I instantly felt like I belonged at home after only being there for a short time. I did the ordinary cooking class and was absolutely amazed at how I was able to cook fabulous dishes from scratch with clear help and instructions. We later got to enjoy the food and have some tea together talking about experiences in fez and how they are different to my home country England. We both found them to be quite different but our love for food remained the same! You have not properly been to fez until you have visited here. I would highly recommend to anyone for a great time and even better food ❤️

Beautiful and incredible experience!!! Learning the deep knowledge of the Moroccan cuisine from the hand of a very lovely person!!! A highly recommended activity if you are in love of the Moroccan culture as I am.

I had the privilege of taking a class by Samri. I learned how to cook appetizers including roasted abergines, cooked carrots, potatoes and the best chicken tajine I have ever eaten. Followed by hot tea and cookies. I also learned to preserve lemons used in many Moroccan dishes. After class we went to a locals collective in the Medina. Samri was patient, knowledgeable, and fun to learn and cook with. I look forward to return to Fes to take more classes from Samri.

We had a great time baking with Chaimae. It was great meeting her in the neighborhood and seeing her apartment and learning about her life. Her younger sister joined us later and it was great for my 14 yo son to converse with someone similar in age. It was a beautiful experience that made our time in Fes really fulfilling. We got to take the cookies we made to go home with us as souvenirs.

This was a highlight of my tour/trip! Chaimae made us feel like warmly welcomed friends into her home. She was so personable and accommodating. The meal prep was fun and the dinner delicious. . She was a woman who clearly loves her craft and home and gave me a very positive respect for her culture and country.

Chaimae provided a wonderful experience in visiting a communal bread oven and also showing us how to make 2 kinds of Moroccan bread. (Moroccan pancakes and Seminola bread) We also had the pleasure of meeting her auntie and sister during our time in her lovely home and both were such a joy to meet and get to know. Chaimae was extremely organized and had everything ready to go so we could jump right in! We took turns adding the ingredients to make the bread as well as kneading and punching the dough to make it perfect. The entire process from start to finish was fun and educational. We enjoyed the freshly baked breads served with jams, cheese and/or honey. She served mint and sage tea as an accompaniment and homemade Moroccan pastries that she made for us to enjoy! Simply divine! This bread making class and visit to the communal bread oven was one of my top experiences during my visit to Morocco. Chaimae also provided the recipes and explicit instructions on how to make the bread when we returned home and sent us pics and videos of our time making the bread with her. She also offers cooking classes which we were able to experience at the same time as our bread making class so that was double the fun and educational! I am so happy I found Chaimae and her cooking classes! I recommend her classes and experiences 100%! You will NOT be disappointed!

Go HUNGRY! Yassir was knowledgeable, hospitable and so generous. His English was great and his kindness greater. We wandered the maze of the medina tasting exotic morsels and ended up with a feast on the square. It was reassuring to know that no food goes to waste. Highly recommend!

Absolute gem!!!! Chaimae is an accomplished cook and an excellent hostess! The food was so tasty and we learned several new techniques. Chaimae was so very helpful. We wanted to take her with us! She also took us to a private spice merchant who was fascinating!

Chaimae’s cooking class was a once in a lifetime experience. Throughout the whole class Chaimae’s passion for food and your experience genuinely shone through. The tastes were amazing and the atmosphere so friendly and helpful. Chaimae was amazing and I very highly recommend that if you’re in Fes that you experience one her classes. Will definitely come back!

Samri was a great teacher and cultural liaison for her country. Commination with her was clear and always timely. The food we made was tasty and filling. She offers different options of cooking classes, so be sure to inquire with her about what's available. Not only does she offers cooking instruction, but she also offers other cultural experiences. Make sure to ask her about those too!
