Traditional Cooking Class in Fes, Fes

This was a wonderful experience. First we went with Lina to the market to collect all the food. After that we returned to the Ryad Salam to prepare it by the pool with the amazing Chef Amina, and Lina. And after that we ate more food then we would like to admit. Admittedly, after the market experience we were pretty tired but I am glad we all cooked together. I can't really say enough about the joyful experience we had with Lina and Amina. Amina gave us both Moroccan names and she was just delightful. Lina taught us all about the Moroccan food and the customs. She worked tirelessly to ensure we had a good experience and we did!

What a lovely family and experience.

Ameena was amazing. She took us shopping in the souks for the vegetables for our chicken tagine. Her home was lovely and the instruction was great. The completed meal was delicious and I'm so glad we learned how to make chicken tagine!! It was a privilege to spend time in her home and to meet her family.

It was so much fun for us to get to know Fes a little better by not just going shopping at the market and helping prepare a meal, but also spending time with locals and learning more about their lives. The morning we spent together was an experience I'll never forget, and the meal was delicious!

Our guides were just wonderful. The cooking was really fun, and the results delicious. But the star was the location. Truly the most beautiful Riad we visited on our stay in Morocco.
