Chamsi was a wonderful hostess (for 2 of us) and we had a truly fabulous afternoon with her and her family - learning about Moroccan life, traditions for Eid and the special recipes that are made by the family to celebrate. The markets were closed, so we spent the afternoon helping prepare the dishes and chatting with her family over a very extended lunchtime.
Amazing over the top cooking classes everywhere with Chansil

This was a great day. I take cooking classes everywhere I travel and this was one of the top best class. Chamsi was great- showed or told us what to do and guided us through preparing and amazing Moroccan lunch. We went on a field trip to a wonderful bakery and then sat down to enjoy our feast with her husband and son. She commented with me prior to the class to ask what we were interested in learning to make, she had printed recipes for us to take and share her tips and techniques to prepare flavorful food with the right lean of spices. I highly recommend a class with Chamsi!

Chandigarh was the kindest person I’ve met in Morocco. Our experience was beyond awesome! We experienced a shopping trip to the local market in addition to a cooking class. I, unfortunately, did not have a hair straightener with me that worked. She went out of her way to accommodate me and direct me to a store where I could find one. The cooking class introduced us to using spice-not just pinching spice into the food. With in 5 minutes I truly felt “family” in her house!
Warm and friendly

Wonderful local cooking experience in a private home. Super warm, friendly and authentic. It was fun. The food was tasty and not something one might find in a restaurant.
A highlight of our time in Casablanca

This was by far my favorite activity while in Casablanca. Chamsi and her family were warm and welcoming and she is a fantastic cook and hostess. We did the traditional salads, monk fish appetizer and lamb tangine. All delicious and wonderful. Her husband, son and housekeeper were fun and engaging. The trip to the market and bakery were great. I even went back to the bakery a few days later - so delicious. it was so much fun. I cannot recommend this enough. Her family is warm and delightful and her home is lovely and welcoming. It was a blast
Great experience with My Traveling Spoon!

Maria was a fantastic host!! We learn a lot about Moroccan cooking and our food turned out great. She is a great teacher and cook. It was so nice to sit in her traditional Moroccan room to eat! It was very impressive. I would highly recommend arranging your transportation through her as it was super easy.

We couldn’t have been happier with our evening with Chamsi and her family. At my request, she put together a fabulous vegan feast that we cooked together in her lovely kitchen. With her husband, son and neighbors popping in and out we felt warmly welcomed and a part of a typical evening at their home. And the food! Wow. It was so much fun to assemble a vegetable Tajine and learn the traditional way to cook it. Every element of our meal was delicious! We are grateful to have had such a personal, delicious and delightful dinner with such a warm and interesting family.
