    It was one of the best experiences we had in Morocco so far. The whole family is so loving and welcoming and we really felt like home. The food was the best and even the minttea was the best we had in Morocco. We spent almost 4 hours at their beautiful home and learned so much. We would totally come back. Thank you for everything ❤️

    Hossein and Khadija were warm and welcoming hosts. First we shopped with Hossien in his local neighbourhood, then returned to thei home for mint tea and pastries. But the fun started when we gathered in the kitchen to help cook. Khadija is a wonderful chef and her knowledge of spicing is excellent. We all helped and learned how to make, flatten and fold msemen bread. Delicious. The two taglines we made; lamb and chicken were simple the tastiest we have ever had. A really happy evening with a charming family.

    I genuinely do not have enough nice things to say about this family. They are some of the most incredibly kind and lovely people I have ever met and made this into the most wonderful experience. Hussein met us by the pharmacy and took us around all the shops to buy the ingredients and also helped us to buy any spices of our own should we want them. He even ran off to get me and my partner water when we mentioned that we were thirsty. Then we went to their beautiful home, and met their entire family all of whom were incredibly sweet and friendly. They put out a whole spread for us and made us fresh mint tea, whilst Hussein chatted to us about his life, our life and a whole host of interesting stories which really made you feel really at home. Then we began the cooking lesson with Khadija who was as knowledgeable and helpful as she was incredibly kind and friendly. She took us through the whole cooking process for 2 mains, two different side dishes and we even made the bread from scratch which was so much fun. During breaks whilst we waited for things to cook, we sat round and (badly haha) played musical instruments with Hussein, Khadija and their children. The whole time they went the extra mile to make you feel completely at home. I feel like I learned so much from the cooking lesson, and will definitely be trying to recreate these dishes at home. And at the end of it all, the food was simply the best I have ever had in Morocco, it was just stunning. Khadija is one good chef! Cannot recommend this experience and this lovely family enough. An absolute must do!!

    The highlight of our whole trip to Morocco. Khadija and Hussein were incredible hosts and went above and beyond to make our experience special. The food was incredible and we learnt a lot about Moroccan cooking. Alongside this, we learnt about Moroccan culture and living.

    We are so glad we booked this experience! Khadija and Hassan were perfect hosts and so generous with their time. The amount of food they showed us how to make was unreal and you will not leave hungry. Everything, and I truly mean everything, was delicious! We brought our 5 and 7 year old kids along and they played with Khadija and Hassan's son most of the time and had a blast while also helping out make the meal from time to time. By the end you will feel like family, cannot recommend this experience enough! Absolutely worth every penny!
