{ "trip_advisor" : [{"author_name" : "Amy E", "rating" : 5, "body" : "This was by far my favorite activity while in Casablanca. Chamsi and her family were warm and welcoming and she is a fantastic cook and hostess. We did the traditional salads, monk fish appetizer and lamb tangine. All delicious and wonderful. Her husband, son and housekeeper were fun and engaging. The trip to the market and bakery were great. I even went back to the bakery a few days later - so delicious. it was so much fun. I cannot recommend this enough. Her family is warm and delightful and her home is lovely and welcoming. It was a blast"}], "survey_monkey" : [{"author_name" : "Jocelyn", "rating" : 5, "body" : "I can not express enough the wonderful experience I had with Chamsi Dib. I did not know what to expect and she went above and beyond anything I could have imagined. \r\n\r\nFrom the start, Chamsi answered my call from the taxi, spoke to my taxi driver to give directions. Upon arrival she greeted me at the with a wide and welcoming smile and invitation into her home. I was served tea and locally grown treats! She sat down with me to discuss my preferences. Just the overall atmosphere in her home was friendly and inviting! I felt as if we were old friends. I immediately trusted that I was in good hands and about to have an experience of a lifetime! I was not wrong! Chamsi has an generous personality. She was easy to get along with during my time with her. You could tell that she took pride and care in teaching others about her craft and culture.\r\n\r\nAfter setting our lunch menu, off we went to the market to pick up the items we needed for cooking. Chamsi was careful to advise me of local cultural protocol on the streets. I tried not to act like a tourist, but I was pretty clueless and she gently guided throughout our time shopping so that I was able to be safe and have a positive experience. \r\n\r\nHanging out in the her kitchen and cooking was like being with my close girlfriend or sister. As Chamsi taught me about the Moroccan spices, meats and vegetables, we laughed and traded cooking tips and secrets! I learned so.much about the local popular foods and traditional Morocco ways of cooking. I was able to sit and enjoy lunch with her beautiful son and husband. During lunch, I learned more about local culture. Chamsi's husband even offered to take my brother golfing. \r\nThey are a warm and gracious family. I could have stayed longer but my ship was leaving. Chamsi had already arranged with my taxi driver for a pick up and her sweet husband made sure the taxi got me back to the right place and paid my fare! If you are thinking about joining Chamsi for a Morocco cooking class, don’t hesitate, she is a phenomenal woman!"}, {"author_name" : "Nancy", "rating" : 5, "body" : "Chamsi picked us up at our hotel and for the remainder of the day we experienced the market , her home, the lessons in cooking and delicious food to enjoy in her courtyard. she shared many aspects of Moroccan life plus the recipes to take home and try. Excellent experience."}, {"author_name" : "Lynn", "rating" : 5, "body" : "Chamsi was wonderful. My whole family was in the zoom. She was so nice, took us into her beautiful kitchen and taught us about delicious Moroccan cooking. She taught us more than just the recipes, along with some good technique. Loved Chamsi!! She was so nice and charming. It was something fun to do during the Coronavirus and gloomy Wisconsin weather. Thank you!!"}, {"author_name" : "Maurice", "rating" : 5, "body" : "Our experience cooking Moroccan Tajine with Chamsi was delightful. It felt like an physical and intimate experience as we met her family and learned a bit about the history behind Moroccan Tajine as well as her own background. Her entire family was very friendly and welcoming. The cooking process felt professional and the pace was good. We enjoyed chatting with Chamsi, sharing stories and taking photos over Zoom. The final meal was amazing!! I’m sure this isn’t our last encounter with Chamsi. We hope there will be more Moroccan meal offerings in the future with traveling spoon. It was nice to meet you Chamsi! Thank you! Great class and good pace. The food was delicious and my girlfriend and I enjoyed the cooking process very much. We will be recommending it to family, friends and co-workers . As an investor in the traveling, I naturally want more people to use the company’s services. As a traveler and avid cooker, there is nothing I enjoy more than meeting people, learning to cook new food and sharing the experience with others. The more people know about about traveling spoon, the better. "}], "ambassador" : [{"author_name" : "Cristi and Christians", "rating" : 5, "body" : "This experience was definitely unforgettable! I'm so happy my boyfriend and I decided to try this out. Chamsi and her family are lovely hosts with such open hearts and kind spirits. Overall, we were surprised at the eloquent lifestyle of this area in Casablanca. It's definitely different than the rural parts of Morocco we saw in the rest of our trip! Chamsi and her family showed us a real, authentic perspective and were happy to answer any questions we had about Morocco.\r\n<br>It's hard to say what my favorite part of the experience was, but some of the highlights were definitely spending some nice quality time with locals and getting to see all the markets. I'm also very happy to bring home some new cooking ideas!"}] }
