It was a pleasure to be hosted by Hind. She was incredibly welcoming, talkative (perfect English!!) and gracious. The meal itself was excellent and she has our highest recommendation. We cooked a very authentic Moroccan meal of various mixed salads and a beef tagine. Hind gave us a tour of the Jemaa el Fnaa square and market beforehand where we enjoyed a fresh squeezed juice. Hind also took us to a separate market to buy fruit and bread. After the cooking we sat down and enjoyed the meal, which was delicious. It was nice to do it at the beginning of our trip as it informed the rest of our trip in terms of many of the dishes we ate and saw on menus. Hind was an excellent overall host and spoke perfect English with minimal accent, which was nice and made it easy to understand her. She gave us a lot of info on Morocco and the food culture as we cooked and helpful pieces of information on techniques and spices, etc. we could incorporate in our own home cooking. Overall I could not recommend her more highly.

We loved our cooking class and market tour with Manuela’s team. Monriad is lovely (worth a stay there too), the food was delicious, and we learned a lot about Morocco and its food. Would highly recommend!

I love Edwina, which is not easy for me to admit. she's vivacious, witty, and an amazing teacher. The way she interacts with you to translate cooking techniques makes it so easy to learn. There were moments when she had us taste the food and decide what flavor we thought was missing. It was a complete hands-on experience that allowed us to use all of our senses. Everyone who loves food, but is afraid to enter the kitchen, needs to learn with Edwina. Actually, everyone should just cook with Edwina.

Excellent mother/daughter team. A lot of fun. They made excellent use of the two-way communication the technology allows, checking in from step-to-step to make sure everything was going well. Both pastries were very tasty.
