Excellent experience in Marrakech with Berber Family.

We thought the whole experience was incredible and loved every second. We learnt so much about cooking authentic Moroccan food using a Tagine and cooking delicious side dishes too. The experience starts with shopping in the local market to source the vegetables, then a walk to the traditional building where we watched how to make the delicious Moroccan Tea and learn about the traditional way it is prepared. The whole group were involved in preparing and chopping the vegetables, meats including chicken, beef and meatballs were used along side vegetarian dishes. It was an inspiring activity and we’d recommend the experience and the two great guys who taught us so much. Well Done.

Yummy food and fun tour.

I had such a wonderful and joyful experience! We started with some snacks and discovering argan oil, then headed to the market to pick up fresh vegetables and fruits. Oh my, we got so much that I was absolutely full! Afterward, I was warmly welcomed into a home where we began cooking together. I'm not the best at chopping, but they were so sweet and helped me. They even showed me how to make a delicious tajine, and I can't wait to recreate it at home with the spices I bought. There were also desserts, and I had the best bananas and fruits. They offered tea, bread, and crackers, which was so sweet! The family was incredibly kind, and they even invited me to their balcony, which had breathtaking views. It was such a delightful time, and I enjoyed every moment!
