  OMG, what an incredible, authentic experience cooking with Souad and her family.

We started by going to the market to pick out the fresh ingredients for our meal... read more of lamb tagine with apricots & prunes, homemade bread, Moroccan salad, a beet smoothie, and 4 traditional side dishes (aubergine, carrots, peppers, and sweet potatoes). The meat was definitely “fresh. ” Such a fun and colourful experience.

Next, Souad, took us to her mother & sister-in-law’s home in the ancient medina. Despite little or no English, they helped us chop, slice, peel, boil, cut, shred, grill, juice, knead, and pressure cook everything we needed for the next several hours. We used a lot of spices including cumin, tuneric, garlic, ginger, saffron, preserved lemons and the magical elixir called “44 spice” blend. I took lots of notes and photos since no English meant no written recipes - and our expert chefs measured more by experience & love, than cups or tablespoons.

We made some homemade bread, and when it had risen enough, we walked our tray of loaves through the market to the community oven to bake. So cool!

When the bread was ready we walked it home and enjoyed our feast. SO YUMMY and beautifully & artfully plated!!!!!

Such an amazing adventure and definitely a real slice of life of many Moroccan women’s daily life. Definitely a highlight of our 3 week stay in Morocco.

  Great Driver - Othman - Othman was our personal driver for 11 days travelling through Casablanca, Rabat, Tangier, Chefchaouen, Fez and Marrakech. Othman was very professional, courteous and openly shared his knowledge of the Moroccan... read more culture and landscape. Othman’s English was very good and he had a great sense of humour. We felt very safe in Othman’s care and his ability to get us to the sites in each location without issue amazed us - Moroccan cities and the médinas are not easy to navigate. Our last day with Othman was quite sad for us as we said our goodbyes - we had A really warm relationship and he added so much to the local experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
