Brilliant

Simply brilliant! We had a great time with Abdou, everything was correctly explained, the ingredients were of quality. We ate several tajines during our stay but none were as good as those cooked during the cooking class. I recommend this course to you 100%.

Great cooking class!!!

This cooking class was absolutely wonderful! We had a chance to create a wonderful meal with expert guidance from the chef. He also included some historical and social learning about food and culture in Morocco. We had plenty of time to talk about our experiences and try the food we had made. Really wonderful experience!!!

Very nice discovery

Thanks again for this cooking class in Essaouira, it was a really nice moment, filled with meetings and sharing. We loved preparing the candied lemon chicken tagine and the kefta tagine, and even more enjoying them with our kitchen mates! An experience to renew without hesitation to discover other recipes. It’s a very nice way to visit the area otherwise. Thank you Abdou for your welcome and good mood! See you soon
