Cooking Class With Chef Khmisa

J'ai adoré qu'on achète les légumes localement et qu'on ait tous une tâche à accomplir en classe : éplucher, trancher, couper en dés et griller les aubergines.

J'ai passé quatre jours à Marrakech en famille et nous avons décidé de prendre un cours de cuisine. Quel bon choix ! Tout était parfaitement organisé. Les deux chefs nous ont accompagnés dans la préparation des plats, nous donnant de nombreuses explications et nous montrant concrètement comment réaliser un tajine. Ensuite, avec les autres participants, nous avons dégusté les plats préparés pour le dîner. À refaire absolument !

Le cours était une expérience formidable. La cuisine était simple mais pleine de saveurs, et tout le monde a pris plaisir à préparer les plats. Trois d'entre nous étions intolérants au gluten, et tout était naturellement sans gluten, à l'exception du dessert. Je recommande vivement.

J'ai vraiment adoré le cours. Il était parfaitement organisé tout en conservant une ambiance chaleureuse et conviviale. Les deux animatrices étaient très encourageantes et le groupe était de taille idéale. Le repas était délicieux et j'ai hâte d'essayer de le reproduire à la maison.

Des gens très sympathiques et charmants. Cuisiner était amusant et la nourriture délicieuse !

Nous avons passé un excellent moment à apprendre à cuisiner le tajine marocain traditionnel avec nos hôtes. Nous avons échangé avec les autres participants et découvert les coutumes de chacun.

J'ai vraiment adoré le cours de cuisine avec la cheffe Khmisa. Elle était drôle et très perspicace, notamment lors des ateliers pratiques. Le groupe était également très sympathique et convivial.

Je suis végétalienne et sans gluten et j'ai mangé à ma faim - je recommande totalement !

Nous avons suivi le cours de cuisine en famille avec les enfants. Tout le monde a adoré. C'était très amusant, des courses au marché jusqu'au repas partagé.

Le cours était super, très instructif et a enrichi ma visite de Marrakech !

C'était vraiment amusant. J'ai apprécié tous les différents aspects, par exemple aller au marché et discuter des ingrédients.

Nous avons passé un excellent moment au cours de cuisine. C'était génial d'acheter tous les ingrédients et de tout préparer soi-même. Kawtar et Khmisa sont formidables.

Nous avons adoré le cours de cuisine ; c'était agréable d'aller au marché et de choisir tous les ingrédients. Nous avons tous cuisiné à tour de rôle et les plats étaient magnifiques. Le seul bémol, ce sont les recettes ; elles devaient nous être envoyées par courriel, mais nous ne les avons jamais reçues. C'est dommage, car elles nous auraient été bien utiles.

Nous avons vraiment apprécié notre cours de cuisine, nous avons cuisiné dans un groupe très sympa et les explications pendant la préparation étaient intéressantes et utiles. Pour couronner le tout, le repas que nous avons partagé à la fin était délicieux !

Le cours de cuisine avec les formidables hôtes Kawtar et la cheffe Khmisa était tout simplement merveilleux. Outre les délicieux plats que nous avons préparés ensemble avec un groupe de personnes venant de trois pays différents, l'hospitalité et la gentillesse de nos hôtes – qui nous ont accueillis chez eux pour le cours – étaient exceptionnelles ! Je recommande vivement !

La cheffe et sa tante étaient d'une gentillesse et d'une patience exceptionnelles. Je ne suis pas du tout cuisinière et j'ai pourtant appris énormément de choses. De retour chez moi, j'ai même testé quelques recettes. C'est formidable ! Je recommande vivement ce cours.

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!

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.

Wonderful experience! Our hostesses were lovely. Great international group. I have recommended this cookery course to our hotel owner.

Chef Khisma is the best, we met near the market to do some shopping first. Afterwards we went to their family house to cook several typical Moroccan dishes. All in a very warm familiar atmosphere. Everyone can join this class, it's the perfect mix of having fun, learning stuff, having something to do, and enjoying Moroccan life to the max. Don't skip this class if you are in Marrakesh.

Ich habe den Kochkurs meinem Ehemann zum Geburtstag geschenkt. Er hat sein Geschenk geliebt. Wir waren beide begeistert von der Warmherzigkeit von Kawtar und Khmisa. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Es war alles toll organisiert. Kawtar und Khmisa haben sich unglaublich viel Mühe gegeben so dass wir komplett versorgt und zufrieden waren. Wir hatten viel Spaß und haben viel gelernt. Das Essen war unglaublich lecker und abwechslungsreich. Wir können den Kochkurs nur jedem weiterempfehlen. Es ist eine tolle Erfahrung! Vielen Dank an Kawtar und Khmisa für eure Gastfreundschaft und Mühe.

We had an excellent time at the cooking school. There were 9 of us with a mixture of nationalities. We went to choose the food in the market first then headed back to their house where we cooked 2 courses. Both chefs were knowledgeable and it was hands-on for everyone. The results were 3 delicious starters, 2 main courses, and a dessert, which was more constructed than cooked. It was a wonderful way to spend a morning away from the hustle and bustle of the Medina. We would highly recommend this cookery class. The only negative is that we were directed to an incorrect meeting point although this wasn't the fault of the cookery school. It was quickly sorted and we went the following day.

Mrs khmisa and her niece are very friendly. I had asked them for a certain dish the night before which they don't usually make and to my surprise they put it on the menu and it turned out delicious. The class is inside Mrs khmisa's home which is quite simple but they taught us about different spices and moroccon ingredients and we actually cooked really delicious food. What was most amazing was the experience itself and meeting foodies from all over the world and sitting down in her living room afterwards to eat the amazing meal. A truly memorable experience.

We loved meeting to shop for our ingredients. We were each assigned different veggies to pick out at the market as we made our way from stall to stall, finding all the right things to make our meal! After a very short walk, we came to Khmisa’s aunt’s house where her aunt was waiting with hugs for everyone! The class was hands-on and very interactive. We made, and poured, our tea the Moroccan way…up up up. The group was fun, Khmisa and her aunt were amazing…the whole experience was fantastic!

We had an amazing afternoon at Kawtar and Khmisa’s class. They were both so welcoming and we learned a lot about Moroccan cooking. The group was managed very well and everyone had the opportunity to join in. The food was delicious! This was definitely a highlight of our holiday!

Great cooking class from shopping ingredients till eating what you made.

Thank you for that wonderful cooking experience. It was definitely one of my Marrakech highlights. Right after the class I went directly to the Souk and bought a Tagine :) Highly recommended for any food and cooking lovers.

We spend two days in Marrakech and organized the cooking class very spontanously. It took place in a nice house and Khimsa made everyone participate, which we liked a lot. The cooking made lots of fun and everything was very delicious! So we can recommend the class!

My boyfriend and I joined the cooking class of Khmisa in september 2019. It was a very pleasant experience. We had the chance to buy the products with the cooking group at the local market, with the needed explanation. After the market, we went to the house to start the cooking class. We made the original Moroccan tea, 4 delicous starters, a tajine (also vegetarian) and a dessert. The dishes were typical Moroccan and very good! We could ask all the questions that we wanted. Khmisa and Kawtar were both very friendly. It was a very good experience during our trip in Morocco! Highly recommended!

Khisma and The other woman who translates everything did a really Nice job. Nice to see how you live in the medina. Food was really good, best tajine in town. It really gave a Morroccan feeling. Only thing to note was that dessert was not so special to cook.

Lovely people, both Khmisa and Kawtar, and our class mates! So nice to be welcomed in their home in the medina.

Khmisa is very fiendly and communicative (although speking mostly Arabic!). Everything was properly translated by her co-worker. The work is not much intensive (would expect more work from our side) but generally enough to understand the concept of Moroccan cooking. Meeting new people and having dinner together is a big plus of the experience.

We were a mixed group of 6, 4 teens and 2 adults and it was good fun. We did all the chopping and preparation ... and the eating... in the dining room, leaving the chef to put the pressure cooker and tagines on the stove in the kitchen. Started with a walk to the local sellers to buy bread and vegetables. The chef couldn't speak english but was accompanied by a well spoken and friendly young women who acted as guide, host and interpreter.

Very well organized, everything we cooked was delicious. Very nice atmosphere, the instructor is local, warm and very experienced. The class was happy and dinamic and we enjoyed very much. And all the written recipes arrived on the same evening to my mobile. Kawtar was great and very efficient.

It was the first time, that I participate to a cooking session. I will keep a really good memories. Naïma and Salma were our chief. They are doing their job with passion and enthusiasm. I joined a little group from different cultures and we were together 5 persons. We learned first how to make a tea. Then 4 kind a salads, and finally a tajine of meat balls. We enjoy all together the lunch. I particularly loved also the way how the course was introduced, because we go all together to the market to choose all the goods needed for the dishes. I spent really good time. Naïma and Salma, I wish you a lot of success and continue like that, because you show us the true value of marocain culture.

Accueil très chaleureux autant par notre traductrice que par la chef cuisinière devant un bon thé marocain qui maintenant n à plus de secret pour nous et préparation d un délicieux tajine et des salades marocaines avec toutes les explications et la mise en pratique qui nous permettront de préparer les bons plats que nous avons goûtés au Maroc merci pour ce bon moment de partage que nous recommandons

I’m happy with cooking class. I was lucky to have very nice travellers sharing experience with me. I got the class what I expected: cooking, relaxing hanging out and afterwards recipes. This was my first cooking class abroad ever so I cannot compare it with anything. Anyway I have no big complaints, so I can recommend this. :)
