Picked up no problem from the square just as she said, and taken into the old market to buy all our ingredients. Great seeing the lesser known side of the city. Then driven out to a real Berber village to a little gem of a house. Cooking in the beautiful garden was enjoyable and the food delicious. Nothing to taxing in terms of recipes but a lovely day with a personal touch. The host was charming and helpful and really felt like old friend by the time we left. Also, the dog was great company whilst mastering the cuisine. Made so much food we couldn't finish it but it was delicious and well earned!

My parents and I did the 1 day cooking course with Lalla Nezha and must say was the most amazing experience we had in Morroco!! She picked us up from Café Francais at 10am and took us to the spice/vege/meat markets where she showed us many different types of Morrocan spices. We were also able to buy our own to take home there at local prices which was nice as spices in the main touristy areas charge up to three times more!!

The fee is 400dhs per person (35 Euro), this includes transfer from the Medina to the Ourika road (around 15min). If you have your own transport the fee is 350dhs.
The lesson is geared towards the making of a full Morocan dinner, which includes two different Moroccan salads, a chicken, lamb, fish, or couscous vegetable tajine. You can also make suggestions as to what you would like. (10am – 4pm)

After the markets we were invited back to her home in a Berber part of Marrakech where we prepared the dishes outside in her lovely garden under a tree. The dishes we made were delicious! Lalla is an amazing, strong Berber woman and had a great time listening to her speak about her culture, religion and were given a true insight to Morocco and it’s people over our lovely meal.

A truly amazing experience.

This was by far our favorite day in Morocco! Lalla was an excellent teacher and wonderful hostess. I would strongly recommend that anyone visiting Marrakech contacts Lalla for a class. It is guaranteed to be the highlight of your trip.

My wife and I did a 1 day cookery class with Lalla Nezha and it was far better than we expected.
we met Lalla in the main square at 10 and she took us to the soukes to choose our ingredients and then off to pick the chicken of my Wifes choice ( i did a vegetarian meal )
Lella then drove us to her berber village and we had our class in the garden of her fantastic authentic house. Once we had completed our course we sat down and enjoyed one of the best meals we had all week !
we were the only people on the course and were pleased as we were told that some of the other places that offer courses have large class sizes and you can feel left out and this was never the case with Lella.
I would reccoment this course to everyone, A FANTASTIC and INTERESTING day.

This is probably my 10th cooking excursion throughout the world and the most unusual. My husband and I were with two other couples so the group was small and intimate. Lalla took us to the spice market and explained and allowed us to taste and smell each of the spices used in traditional Moroccan food. We then went to the meat market and fish market. Be prepared because the poultry is very fresh, they kill the chicken right there. Lalla then drove us to her home in the Berber section of Marrakech. We sat in her garden under a large umbrella and cut up our vegetables and put our ingredients and spices in the tagines. She also showed us how to make traditional Moroccan couscous which takes over an hour to prepare. Once our food was ready, we ate at the outdoor dining table, where we talked and shared our experiences. It was a lovely time. This was not like most organized cooking classes I have attended. There were no fancy knives, gas burner stoves and high end cookware. This was a real life, not elaborate and not professionally executed; instead it was a traditional Berber home cooking experience and one to remember.
