{ "ambassador" : [{"author_name" : "Chamsi", "rating" : 5, "body" : "Entering Maria's world of cooking is entering the world of Moroccan Classic gastronomy. Her home is well decorated and the food is prepared in a very refined way. The food was presented in an elegant living room and she was very welcoming. During the cooking class, I loved how she talked about her childhood memories related to food and family. We ate a variety of salads and tagines (wild chicken was my favorite!) and fresh oranges with cinnamon. If you want an authentic cooking experience with Moroccan family, I would highly recommend Maria!"}], "trip_advisor" : [{"author_name" : "chr1stinaH", "rating" : 5, "body" : "My experience with Maria and her family was the very best way to start my trip to Morocco. Having a market and home visit allowed me a glimpse beyond the usual tourist experience and what I saw made me fall in love with the country and culture even more. I enjoyed learning to cook some of the classic cuisine and sharing great conversation. Thank you, Maria. XOXO"}, {"author_name" : "pinfam123", "rating" : 5, "body" : "What a wonderful experience with a truly amazing lady \r\nMy day with Maria started at her local market with purchasing of ingredients She is a great cook and the food was delicious A must to do do if you love cooking"}, {"author_name" : "Exploringtheland", "rating" : 5, "body" : "During our stay in Casablanca, Morocco, we were hoping to experience the land, food, people and culture. We found all of these in our time with Maria. She was a hospitable, warm tour guide! She picked us up (so convenient) and took us to a local market to explore, taste and buy a few things for the meal and for ourselves if desired. We were the only tourists at the market, which was a nice change from other markets and attractions. Throughout our time with her, Maria was generous to explain and teach us about Morocco and answer questions we had. She opened her home and kitchen to us and made us feel like family. We found out the day we spent with her was even her birthday (what a special treat)! We loved our time with her- especially the cooking (the rest was truly a bonus)! We cooked an authentic Moroccan main dish, side dishes and homemade bread. It was all delicious! We enjoyed other food and desserts too. My group and I (a group of 4) highly recommend this cooking experience for anyone who desires a personal connection to the people, food and culture of Casablanca or Morocco."}, {"author_name" : "Adriana D", "rating" : 5, "body" : "Start with the market - don't miss it. Maria showed us a colorful authentic place without tourists and with friendly people and price. The cooking lesson was great and Maria was a lovely host showing more than the local gastronomy. We spent a great time shopping, cooking and eating. Enjoy it!"}, {"author_name" : "amyellzey", "rating" : 5, "body" : "My friends and I were going to be in Casablanca: our first time in Morocco. The cooking class we’d heard was excellent was fully booked. I found Maria’s which sounded perfect; but there were no reviews I could read to verify it was as great. Being extra careful, I called customer service and discovered there were many excellent reviews, a glitch was simply keeping me from seeing them on my program.My whole group agrees this was a highlight of our excellent trip to Morocco. Maria was a wonderful hostess, she explained and taught us so much about Moroccan food and culture, and we felt so privileged to be welcomed and cared for like honored guests in her home. We enjoyed everything: from the market tour, to cooking, to the exceptional (and extensive) feast in her home. We were also grateful for the round trip transfers.I highly recommend this beautiful experience for anyone who wants a deeper experience from their visit to Morocco."}] }
