We traveled Morocco for 2 weeks and this was by far one of our favorite experiences and one of the best meals we had! Mohamed and Fouzia were so incredibly kind, warm and welcoming. We felt right at home and were immediately greeted with pastries and tea. Mohamed showed us around his neighborhood and we walked to a local market for some fresh ingredients for our lunch. We cooked lamb and chicken tagine, an eggplant side dish, and had olives. Fouzia made fresh bread which was soooo good. You also get to take the recipes home! We were stuffed and had a delicious shared lunch with Mohamed and Fouzia. Mohamed both picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel after. Recommend the lunch and not rushing so you have time to enjoy the markets and really take time with your meal. Oh and don’t forget dessert after! We had fresh pomegranate and clementines - which we also got from the market earlier. This was such an authentic and amazing experience in Casablanca. Again we were so grateful for Mohamed and Fouzia’s hospitality and cooking!! 10/10 recommend when visiting Casablanca!

I have taken cooking classes in Italy, France, Spain, and now Casablanca....by far the most fun and informative was with Chamsi in Casablanca. She is DELIGHTFUL, and not only took us to the food market, but also to the old souk, out to breakfast near the old fortress, around the city to see the beautiful mosque by the sea, to purchase Ramadan treats at a wonderful bakery, and of course to her home to prepare an awesome and delicious meal. She patiently answered our questions and introduced us to her favorite vendors where we sampled olives, spices, and fresh fruit. We couldn't have had a more wonderful time with anyone else!

I can’t even think of how to include all of the ways this experience was amazing. Maria was a dream host and made us feel so welcome and included. She picked us up from our hotel, showed us some of the city on our way to the market, guided us through picking our ingredients, invited us in to her beautiful home, taught us how to cook authentic Moroccan dishes, and made us feel so welcome and safe. She taught us so much about her culture that I am so thankful for this experience. Learning from the locals is. Ow my favorite way to truly learn about a new place. Maria and her family were the best! I would 100% do this experience again.
