It was a pleasure to be hosted by Hind. She was incredibly welcoming, talkative (perfect English!!) and gracious. The meal itself was excellent and she has our highest recommendation. We cooked a very authentic Moroccan meal of various mixed salads and a beef tagine. Hind gave us a tour of the Jemaa el Fnaa square and market beforehand where we enjoyed a fresh squeezed juice. Hind also took us to a separate market to buy fruit and bread. After the cooking we sat down and enjoyed the meal, which was delicious. It was nice to do it at the beginning of our trip as it informed the rest of our trip in terms of many of the dishes we ate and saw on menus. Hind was an excellent overall host and spoke perfect English with minimal accent, which was nice and made it easy to understand her. She gave us a lot of info on Morocco and the food culture as we cooked and helpful pieces of information on techniques and spices, etc. we could incorporate in our own home cooking. Overall I could not recommend her more highly.

We had a great time at the cooking class. Loved that it was a small group and that we visited the market ahead of time to get the ingredients, which gave us an opportunity to purchase some spices and food items for ourselves as well. The host and chef both had a fun attitude and instructions were easy to follow. We enjoyed our delicious meal on the rooftop of the riad which was a nice ending to the experience. We stayed busy for the full duration of the experience, but not in a way that felt stressful at all. I would recommend this experience to other travelers for sure.

We learned so much about Moroccan pastries and culture! We had so much fun and the food was delicious. We highly recommended this class!

I love Edwina, which is not easy for me to admit. She's vivacious, witty, and an amazing teacher. The way she interacts with you to translate cooking techniques makes it so easy to learn. There were moments when she had us taste the food and decide what flavor we thought was missing. It was a complete hands-on experience that allowed us to use all of our senses. Everyone who loves food, but is afraid to enter the kitchen, needs to learn with Edwina. Actually, everyone should just cook with Edwina.
