Overall it was a nice experience. In the morning, we were picked up by a taxi next to Jemaa el Fna and drove to the farm. The farm is a peaceful place outside of Marrakech. We cooked plenty of tasty dishes with fresh ingredients and learnt a lot about Moroccan spices and cuisine. Everything was clean.
Now to the reasons, why we only rated the activity with 3 stars: Unfortunately, we didn’t start with a visit of a the local market as it was explained in the activity description. I was expecting to go shopping for some of the ingredients together and to learn about the different ingredients offered on the markets. Secondly, I was a bit disappointed that we didn’t discover the farm together. After arriving, we were just told that we can have a look by ourselves. It would have been great to discover the farm together with some guided explanation on what products they grow and how they do it. Lastly, I would have loved to get some printed recipes to take home so that you can re-cook the dishes. Considering that this cooking class ist definitely on the high-end side in terms of pricing, I would have expected this kind of standard.
