“This was an outstanding experience! Kaoutar, our guide and chef mentor, was sensational. From the experience of walking us through the markets (souks) to choose the fresh produce, explaining how things are done to create filo pastry to Halal butchering, to expertly teaching us to prepare and cook tagine, Kaoutar was an excellent teacher and communicator. In the end, sitting down to eat what we had made was amazing! Our tagines were the best we had during our time in Morocco! I highly recommend this experience to anyone who would like to experience the culture of Morocco…whether you can cook or not, whether you’re interested in learning to cook or…”

“Edwina was an excellent host and food mentor. After a consultation of what I wanted to get out of the day we put together a lovely menu and cooked up a culinary storm. If you are looking for traditional Morrocan then Edwina can certainly do this. We went off piste, however, and did some more adventurous dishes using a wider range of Moroccan ingredients, combining them in creative ways and using a range of cooking techniques.
