GOOD REVIEWS
{ "ambassador" : [{"author_name" : "Corey", "rating" : 0, "body" : "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.\r\n\r\nHind 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."}], "trip_advisor" : [{"author_name" : "Laura J", "rating" : 5, "body" : "Hind is a wonderful, hospitable host who made feel right at home. The meal we prepared was a simple, Moroccan staple. She taught me well and I can’t wait to try the dish with my family when I return home."}, {"author_name" : "GratefulDave", "rating" : 4, "body" : "We recommend the personal experience of cooking in Hind's home. Hind was a good teacher, very accommodating, and a delight. The only negative was that we spent nearly no time in the market and got very little out of that experience in comparison to other market cooking classes we have participated in. Cooking at home was fun and different than other classes we have taken, Large group classes are largely about the performance. This is about the intimacy of cooking, chopping, measuring, and getting to know someone you would not meet otherwise. We learned about cooking a lamb and vegetable tajine, Bastilla, and several salads. It was a feast with wine. Come hungry. Hind sent us the recipes for what we cooked and more after we left. Its a great change for the typical cooking class. Also, Hind spoke English well. It took about 5 hours"}, {"author_name" : "Louise D", "rating" : 3, "body" : "Our host Hind was really wonderful --she was very welcoming, and cooked a delicious meal for us. It was great to see a different part of town and spend some time in a Moroccan home. It was interesting to watch her cook using traditional methods. While we enjoyed our time, we were a bit disappointed however that we didn't get to do much cooking ourselves. We would recommend this experience for people who want to taste a home-made meal but not for people who want to learn how to cook a meal."}, {"author_name" : "Odyssey494089", "rating" : 4, "body" : "We meet a sweet and nice lady. Very easy to find her home.\nShe had planned a nice menu for us, and it turned out delicious.\n\nThe place was nice and clean.\nWe can give her the best reccomendations\nInger Marie"}, {"author_name" : "dianna515", "rating" : 5, "body" : "I had the pleasure of cooking with Hind in her lovely apartment in the new city. She is warm, funny and welcoming. We made harissa, zalouk and beef with vegetable couscous. You will not only learn about food but also Moroccan culture. Hind is a gem. I highly recommend this over the touristy restaurant classes!"}] }
