    I had the pleasure of experiencing Khadijas cooking class & this was a great learn how to cook moroccan food, it’s in her own home which is looks splendid, she is very informative and selects only the best meats & vegetables. Also her home is super clean and the eating experience is out of this world, i plan to return again to learn most moroccan dishes.

    Khadija is a great host. We learned to make veggie briouats and chicken tajine. The recipes were feasible, fun, and instructions provided to us afterwards so you don’t have to write it all down. I made the briouats when back home and it turned out great😋 Khadija offered us tea and cookies afterwards, very friendly! Would recommend. 🥕🍜👩‍🍳

    It was an absolute pleasure to attend this cookery course. I learned so much about Moroccan techniques, although simple was good to understand and establish some new skills. We also covered some elements of culture, which I loved. The food we ate, once cooked was a delight and I have now started regular lessons to broaded my repertoire in this actually very healthy cuisine. It's given me confidence to eat out more as I know what's contained within the foods I eat. Please dont hesitate to book, you will not be disappointed.

    I booked a private cookig class with Khadija during a trip to Essaouira in order to learn about moroccan cuisine. It was worth every penny! Khadija asks about your preferences beforehand to decide on a menu that suits you best: I went with the classic chicken tajine (see attached pic). Khadija is an amazing cook and a lovely, patient teacher, who loves to share her extensive knowledge through beginner-friendly but authentic recipes. You learn about spices and traditional techniques... The cooking space was pristine and very practical, the ingredients local and fresh… The best part, of course, is the resulting tasting of the dishes! It was without a doubt the best food I had during my trip! All in all, it was an unforgettable culinary experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Essaouira! I am looking forward to book another class on my next trip!

    It was a very windy day when we could not go out to the beach. We chose to do a cooking class. From the first contact, Khadija put us at ease and fixed with us the course of the cooking class. We arrived at 11am at Khadija in a very nice apartment decorated taste. Mint tea and cupcakes offered during presentations. Then we put on our aprons to reach her beautiful kitchen super well equipped! The choice of recipe was already made the day before by WhatsApp: Pulet tagine and Moroccan salads. Khadija talks about spices and explains the recipe in perfect French! We started everything together: peeling vegetables, preparing tagine and salads, with a good pedagogy and in a relaxed atmosphere and rich in information about Moroccan cuisine. After 2 mesmerizing hours, the meal was served. And here! Waw ! I've never eaten a chicken tagine so tasty! The salads were also exquisite. I highly recommend the cooking class of Khadija! Go with your eyes closed!
