This class was lots of fun and Laila was very welcoming. I have multiple food allergies and was really impressed by the way she adjusted the menu to make sure it was safe for me. Shukra!

Leila takes the group - up to 20 - to her suppliers in the non-touristy market and we load up with bags of veg, etc then back to her family home where she and her mum show you how to cook a true 3 course Moroccan meal. We had fun chopping up the ingredients, learning about the spice mixes and preparing our own dishes which are cooked whilst we chat and then we sit down and eat our food. This is not posh but simply a local household opening up and showing their traditions. The kids and cat hang around and a friend helps with the cooking. It’s hygenicly done and the food is great. Well done Leila for the energy and effort you put in.

This was the highlight of our trip. We met with Asma at the scheduled time and went to the market to buy all of the ingredients to prepare our Chicken Tajin and Pastila. From the start, she was so nice and outgoing. We arrived to her house and felt like at home! Being able to experience the culture at this level gave us the experience of our lifetime! We met people who we will never forget! Thank you Asma!

The cooking class was fantastic. We went to the market to pick the ingredients, got back to the riad and began the cooking class. The food was delicious and the experience was worth what we paid. The only let down is that they said they would send the recipe to us. I got in touch for the recipe and did not receive a reply. The class was a few weeks ago now. A total shame. If I knew the recipes wouldn't be sent i would have taken notes in the class. I now worry that if the recipe is eventually sent, whether I'll receive the correct ones as I've no idea how they'll remember what class I was in and what we made :( Such a shame. My advice to you is if you book, write the recipes down as there's a chance it will not be sent.

A wonderfully entertaining and informative afternoon with team Leila . The experience starts with getting the food from the market and then back to Leila’s house to prepare and cook a starter - vegetable Pastilla , 2 maiins - chicken and vegetable tangine and a light fruit, yoghurt and pastry dessert. The food was all delicious, but the real highlight of the experience is the fantastic , friendly , funny delivery by the ladies in team Leila. Thank you for a lovely afternoon ladies
