  What a nice time we had! It ended up being just my husband and I, so a private lesson. There was a mistake with the listing, the 3hr class started at 3pm not 2pm. Once we were able to communicate with the operator, he came quickly and was apologetic. We started off with a tour of the Rcif market. It was wild! So much going on, lots of sights and smells. We tasted fresh goats cheese, olives, pickled items, and freshly made crepes. After all the sampling I was afraid I wouldn’t be hungry for dinner! We arrived at Palais Fes Yahya, the family’s home & restaurant. The whole family was so friendly, kind, and welcoming. Their mother demonstrated cooking the tagine and salads while her son translated. She also let us help do some of the prep work. My husband took notes so we’ll hopefully be able to recreate the recipes at home. When the meal was ready, they brought it up to the rooftop for us to enjoy. Overall an awesome experience!

• Authentic, meaningful and delicious! The highlight of our trip.

  Abdul and Fatima are a lovely couple who - along with their family - open their home to share Moroccan cooking and traditions with you. There was a glitch/mix-up with our registration, so we weren't picked up as scheduled, but when I contacted Abdul, he immediately rectified the situation, and we were picked up within 30 minutes. (And even with that inconvenience, I'm still giving it five stars - that's how good it was!) He then took us on a tour of the food market at night with several tastings. We'd been warned as tourists not to be too adventurous at the market and not drink the water, but Abdul was sensitive to this, took us only to reputable and clean stalls, and provided bottled water; none of us had any issues afterward. We were making tagines, and he encouraged us to share what foods we liked or didn't like so we could tailor the recipes - we had a vegetarian, a gluten-free, and someone who didn't like seafood in our group, and he accommodated all of it (although reminders were understandably helpful for them). We even picked out our own veggies and fruits to try at the market and to use in the recipes. The cooking class with Fatima (Abdul's wife) and Fatiha (his mother) back at their guesthouse/hotel was delightful - we were encouraged to help, and we wrote down recipes to take home. The setting (the tour photo doesn't do it justice) was absolutely gorgeous, built in the 1500s and covered in fabulous mosaics. We also had wonderful conversation with the family about life in Morocco. Then the best part - we enjoyed a variety of appetizer salads and two different tagines (all of which we'd helped to make), and then dessert in the beautiful rooftop restaurant of their guesthouse. This tour was perhaps the highlight of our week-long trip through Morocco (we were on an organized group tour but booked this class during a free evening, and we liked it MUCH better than the optional excursions on our tour!), and we would HIGHLY recommend it to others. It was beautiful, authentic, and meaningful - not to mention DELICIOUS!

  This is by far one of my favorite things we did in Morocco. The whole family was kind and patient with us cutting the vegetables and showing us step by step how to make the Tagine. They made us feel included and answered all our questions. It was also fun to taste various foods and drinks in the market/medina while picking out the fresh fruits and veggies to cook!! It was a lovely home and amazing people!!!

  Abdul and Fatima were very gracious hosts. After shopping at the souk, Fatima allowed me to assist in a wonderful authentic meal. This was exactly the type of experience I was looking for. Wonderful people and a wonderful time!

  From visiting a local market in the medina to shop for seasonal produce to learning family recipes and cooking techniques, this Moroccan cooking class is not to be missed. You'll prepare some appetizers, the main course, and a dessert at the chef's home. The 4- to 5-hour class concludes with a sit-down dinner. We all enjoyed the delicious food we prepared together. This cooking class is elevated by the chef and her husband's warmth and passion. Food lovers should not miss this cooking class.

• Great.

  It was a great experience. A true cultural and culinary encounter! We started the day with Abu who introduced us to the souk, its codes and its specialties that regaled our taste buds. We cooked with Fatima, he is a great teacher who loves to share his knowledge and culture. Abu us to then share valuable tips for the rest of our stay. You can go with your eyes closed. Thank you both very much. Elodie

  Beautiful moments with Abdul and Fatima. An unforgettable cooking experience with Fatima and dishes to redo at home! A tip: forget about breakfast before shopping with Abdul, because anything he tastes throughout the races will make you enjoy your visit!

  This was such a wholesome fun family experience for all! Abdoul comes to your Riad and picks you up for the adventure where he and Fatima open their home for the day to plan out the meals you’d like to cook, if you’re lucky you may even get to meet their baby boy Yaya! You then proceed to the souks with Abdoul to get all the fresh ingredients for the salads and main meal and are able to stop and try foods or juice that tickles your fancy along the way. After you work with Fatima to prepare the dish and learn all the secrets to enjoy the most delicious food you would of had in your time in Morocco! Highly recommend this authentic experience with Abdoul and Fatima as they are lovely humorous locals who make the journey all that more fun for everyone! Abdoul is very well connected and will also help with anything else you may need and it’s also just nice to have a local contact for your time in Morocco!
