Cooking class with a Moroccan family

Wasn’t outside as in reviews and we didn’t get to go to the market to pick products which was seen in same reviews. However fatima was amazing and the food we coooee was absolutely gorgeous. I wish the recipes she supplied were a bit more detailed and i remember some steps from the day which aren’t in the recipes. I still recommend the experience as it’s well worth it but not a must do.

Yasser and his crew were awesome - warm, friendly, and encouraging. The class itself, however, was a bit boring: we made large communal dishes, so it wasn’t very hands on; most of the time was spent chopping vegetables. Would have been better if each person / couple got a hot plate and little cooking area so we could all actually do the cooking ourselves.

It was a wonderful class. The chef was fun and gave us many tips and teach us about Moroccan cuisine. Everyone participated during the cooking process. The food was delicious

We had a lovely morning cooking and learning about Moroccan cuisine. There was a lot of detail and I learnt a lot. The food was delicious as well!

I had an amazing experience at this cooking class. The food was amazing. The restaurant was clean. I learned a lot about Moroccan tradition and also about general cooking. I cook a lot at home and there were things I learned that are super helpful. Everything from the start to the end was perfect. I would highly recommend taking this cooking class while in Marrakesh.

100% would recommend to anyone traveling to Marrakech. Experience was one of a kind. Was able to learn, eat, and meet new people. Yasser was a great host and chef. Adding his own special touch to the class. He was also kind enough to let us join the next day as we got lost finding the place. Don't think about just book it!!

Very nice experience! Good food and told us a lot about the different spices. Friendly and funny people and an overall great experience I can only recommend 🙏🏻

What a great local cooking experience, Fatima was clear and concise with her instructions and was friendly and welcoming in her approach. She made sure everyone's needs were met and adjusted her instructions to suit differing skill sets of the attendees, as a competent cook, even I learned some new skills. The cooking environment was clean and hygienic. Five stars all-round, I will firmly recommend.

Yasser is a fantastic host, speaks excellent English and clearly enjoys what he does. It is a super cozy family business and they work with fantastic products. Above all, the food (which you eventually make yourself) is really super tasty! Finally, they are also aware of dietary needs which makes it accessible to everyone.

We were really looking forward to this cooking class, but unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations. First of all, we were informed very late – only the night before – that the class would start 30 minutes earlier. There was a lot of pressure to be there at 10 AM, but I had chosen this class specifically because of its scheduled time, as I had an appointment beforehand. Another major disappointment was that, according to the description, we were supposed to visit the market to buy ingredients, which was one of the reasons we booked this class. However, when we arrived, we were told that the market was closed due to Ramadan. If that was the case, why was there so much pressure to arrive early for a market visit that never happened? Also, they could have informed us about that fact more in prior so we could still have cancled the activity or search for another one, but only when we arrived to the meeting point for the cooking class, they informed us that we're not going to the market. Additionally, the class was advertised as "Cooking Class with Fatima," and we booked it because we wanted to learn from her. However, Fatima did not teach the class— her son (?) Yassir did. Fatima was only present to wash dishes and clean up, which was quite sad. However, Yassir was really nice with teaching the class, but we wanted to support a female chef offering this activity, therefore, the promotion of the activity and the title were misleading. As for the actual cooking experience, we barely cooked at all. Most of the time was spent peeling and chopping vegetables. The recipes were very repetitive, with all dishes using the same spices and having an overwhelming lemon flavor. The dessert was just sliced oranges sprinkled with cinnamon. The food was okay, but we wouldn’t really call this a proper cooking class, compared with cooking classes we did before in Indonesia, Thailand and other countries. Also the class only lasted around 2 hr 30 min and not 3 hr 30 as stated in the description. Overall, we expected much more and wouldn’t recommend this class to others.
