Experience Details

Fluent in French, English, Arabic, and Berber, I love connecting with people and sharing the richness of Moroccan culture, deeply rooted in values of hospitality and generosity.


I offer varied menus including a starter (fresh or cooked), a main course, and a homemade dessert, all prepared using fresh, high-quality, and mostly local ingredients, with a mindful approach to sustainability.


My goal is to offer more than just a cooking class: a unique cultural and culinary experience, filled with warmth and authenticity, that you will remember long after it ends.


I also pay special attention to cleanliness and hygiene, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment throughout the entire experience.
