(50 reviews)
Essaouira, Morocco

2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

Fluent in French, English, Arabic, and Berber, I enjoy communicating and sharing the values of my Moroccan culture, which is rooted in generosity and hospitality. I offer a variety of menus with a fresh or cooked starter, a main course, and a homemade dessert. I use fresh, high-quality, mostly local products to reduce the carbon footprint.
My priorities are to satisfy my customers, share culinary delight, and create an unforgettable moment in a truly Moroccan atmosphere.
I pay special attention to cleanliness and hygiene throughout my cooking class.
