We chose Fouzia and Mohamed as our hosts, and it was truly a fantastic decision. They are incredibly friendly individuals who welcomed us into their home as if we were old friends. Mohamed seamlessly translated everything for us in English. We requested a vegetarian menu and asked for an additional main course, and they accommodated our requests without any hesitation. Their hospitality and warmth made our experience memorable and enjoyable. It felt like dining with family rather. Without a doubt, we would give Fouzia and Mohamed a perfect rating of 5 out of 5 stars. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional cooking experience filled with warmth, good conversation, and delicious food.

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!

Maria is THE best! I had a long layover in Casablanca, so I decided to try a cooking class with Maria before flying back to the US. And I am SOOOO glad that I did. Maria tailored the class to cook exactly what I requested, and then added a seasonal option to boot! She's a warm, wonderful woman with a beautiful setup and I felt comfortable and confident cooking with her. Will definitely be making tagine at home! Thanks Maria.

Travel inland from the port in Casablanca and discover the culture through food, in this Moroccan cooking class in a local home. We recommend all cruise travelers this Casablanca Shore Excursion, for a true and authentic taste of Morocco. Join your host Chamsi and her family for an authentic Moroccan cooking class and meal at their lovely Casablanca home. Chamsi has a deep love for Moroccan food. She learned the ins and outs of Moroccan cooking from the best home cook she knows, her mother-in-law, Lala Naima. This is the perfect way to dig beneath the surface and connect with local Moroccan food and life in a personal and meaningful way! <br> Roll up your sleeves and help prepare a Moroccan meal with Chamsi in her beautiful open-space kitchen. You’ll cook together for about an hour before sitting down to enjoy the dishes you helped prepare. Some preparation for your meal might be done in advance. <br> Chamsi prepares typical home-style dishes that are seasonal and often feature Casablanca’s local seafood. You might try lamb tagine with seasonal vegetables, marinated and grilled seafood or Moroccan lemon chicken with olives or camel burger, couscous, tchackchouka (roasted bell pepper salad) or zaalouk (eggplant salad) with homemade bread. You will conclude your meal with a dessert such as milk pastilla or oranges with cinnamon or Moroccan cookies. Chamsi can prepare a wonderful vegetarian meal, meat is halal or can also buy kosher meat, so be sure to ask if you have any special dietary requests at least a week in advance.
