My name is Laila, I'm an experienced cook chef, I have 30 years of experience cooking for guest houses and hotels, 12 years of which I teached cooking classes for guests.

When we meet at the starting point, we’ll get to know each other and choose the dishes we’ll prepare. We’ll then visit the nearby local market to buy fresh vegetables and ingredients. We’ll also visit a local spice shop, where I’ll introduce you to Moroccan spices and explain their traditional uses. If interested, you can buy your own spices, and I’ll help you choose what suits you. After welcoming you into home, we’ll start with a warm cup of traditional Moroccan tea and time to relax. I’ll introduce you to Moroccan spices, their aromas and uses, and how they add flavor and depth to the dishes. I’ll also check for food allergies and dietary preferences, with vegetarian and vegan options available. We’ll then begin the hands-on class, preparing fresh Moroccan salads and learning simple traditional techniques and how to balance flavors. Next, we’ll prepare a traditional Moroccan tagine using authentic spices such as Ras el Hanout. Throughout the experience, I’ll guide you step by step, sharing tips, cooking secrets, and stories behind each recipe, making it both enjoyable and educational. Finally, we’ll sit together and enjoy the delicious meal we prepared ourselves.

Chef experience like to no other!

Me and my partner had a booking with Chef Lalia in our first full day here and it was a delight! The class was super interactive, fun and pleasant getting to eat what we all made together! I cant thank all the Chefs enough for teaching us these recipes and making the experience one to remember Many thanks from us both!

Tres bonne expérience au cœur de Marrakech

Excellent moment passe en compagnie de Laila et son équipe. C’est tres convivial, vrai et le plus important super bon !!!! On nous explique le secret des épices pour la cuisine marocaine. Moment en famille sans problème et on se sent comme a la maison. Tres bonne hygiène et produit frais. Je recommande grandement.

Brilliantly authentic Cookery Experience

I’d highly recommend this activity. Chef Leila was fun and a great tutor. We prepared all the food under her supervision, learning about which spices to use and why. It was a small group of 7 so quite intimate in an authentic setting. It really felt like we were eating in her home. What we created was amazing. She sent us full recipes to use when back home. 5 🌟

Fantastic day

We had a wonderful morning with Chef Laila and Chef Asma. Delicious food, we learned a lot and shared lots of laughter as well. A huge thank you from the family of Chef beef and chef moustache. 🤣. Ps if you are visiting chef Laila wait at the meeting point on the main road for her to find you- you won’t find it on your own!
