"Great lesson and meal!"

We really enjoyed our cooking class, we had a fun group to cook with and the explanations during cooking were interesting and helpful - to cap it all off, the meal we got to share together at the end was delicious!

"Best cooking class ever!"

The cooking class with the marvelous hosts Kawtar and Chef Khmisa was just wonderful. Besides the amazing food we prepared together with a group of people coming from three different countries, the hospitality and heartiness of our hosts - who invited us inside their home for the class - were just outstanding! Highly recommended!

"Excellent and great fun."

Chef and her auntie were wonderfully warm and patient. I am a non-cook and I learned so much. I'm home now and have even tried some of the recipes. That's amazing. Highly recommend this class.

"Wonderful memories made!"

My husband and I joined a group of 9 other travelers and were greeted by Kawtar outside the mosque. It was our first visit to Dar El Bacha and the area had a calming presence to it just outside of the main hub we were staying at. It was an excellent group, and we learned many recipes we can now create with a greater understanding of the widely used spices in Moroccan cooking. Khmisa was so welcoming when we arrived at the Riad, and the warmth never ended throughout the day. Thank you!

"Absolutely Fantastic"

What a fantastic few hours, cooking food that totally changed what I thought a tangine was! Khmisa & Katie were both so friendly and it was not only a great learning experience, it was such a good laugh too. Felt totally welcomed in their home and by the end of the 3 hours, they felt like family! It was possibly the best bit of our weekend away.
