Faim d'Epices

Michel is a very good and entertaining host. The market visit was very nice and gave a good insight in Marocain life.

Michel looked after us so well we had lots of fun and learned so much about Moroccan cooking. The day is easy from beginning to end, wonderful flavors and wonderful company.

Michel taught an awesome beef tajine cooking class. Starting at the produce market was an experience unto itself but it was clear that we were getting only the best and freshest cooking materials available in Marrakech. It was also a pivot point as artichokes were out of season so we procured some beautiful carrots instead. From there we visited the butcher and got a fine cut of meat perfect for the tajine. About 10 minutes after we were at the classroom which is a lovely space with its orchard. We learned a few awesome new techniques and made a bunch of delicious salads and pieces of bread to be enjoyed with our beef tajine. After a light dessert to complete the meal, we canceled our dinner plans as it was almost 16:00 (4 pm) and we could not have had more food- we were happily sated but not stuffed. I highly recommend this cooking class if you want a real experience with hands-on training. Thank you, Michel!

We had an incredible experience with Chef Michel. After a visit to one of the local markets, we cooked bread, tagine, salads, and pancakes. All recipes were delicious and replicable at home, Michel also gives a lot of practical tips and tricks. The class is well organized and includes a pick-up and drop-off from the Marrakech center.

Thanks to Michel and Ilham, You made this day perfect. So professional and heartwarming and familiar. We will recommend this experience to all our friends traveling to Morocco.

We were a group of 9 and spent the day cooking Moroccan couscous, bread, pancakes and making Moroccan salad. The day was interspersed with some learning about the common spices used in Moroccan cooking and little workshops on certain skills. It was very laid back and relaxed and michel & olham made the whole experience great fun.

The cooking class was very good, we had a well organized day on the farm with lovley people. They accept our individual wishes and were very helpful. The food was very tasty! We enjoyed the whole day.

Wonderful atmosphere, fantastic people amazing food and a lovely place. Highly recommended!

Thoroughly enjoyed the day at the farm. A well planned and fun foody event.

We couldn’t have hoped for a better experience. Great choice of menus, lovely fresh ingredients. The staff were extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful. The venue is great. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. Bonus point that there were cats and dogs on site.

Fantastic cooking class. Not to be missed. Michael and Ilan were charming and so much fun. Learned a lot about Moroccan food and also enjoyed a phenomenal meal.

The class far exceeded our expectations. It was educational and fun from start to finish. The chef was entertaining and extremely knowledgeable. Me and my husband left the private lesson more excited about cooking than ever before. He helped us understand what it meant to cook a meal, the details he went into were fantastic and the food was deliciously out of this world. He helped us make and combine authentic and delicious spices so we could make it at home as well. The food, Moroccan classic dish, we made was very flavorful. It was amazing! The class was really great!

Fantastic- lovely place, good clear and entertaining instruction. Delicious food in a fabulous setting, who could ask for more?

This was a great class to take for an introduction to Moroccan food and the spices that are used here every day. The farm was a beautiful setting in the country about 40 minutes outside of Marrakech. They pick you up at your hotel in the morning and you get to have a relaxing experience away from the busy city and all the traffic here! You spend the day learning about the spices and food here and then enjoy a relaxing late lunch with the food you have prepared. The host and chefs are all very helpful and knowleable about the food and techniques they are teaching. My class was 7 students and I believe we all really enjoyed the entire experience.

Loved the class from start to finish. Friendly helpful driver, expert cooking, fun and friendly hosts and delicious food! What more could you ask for? We even brought some of the delicious tea home with us!

The spice workshop was done in a very entertaining way, with blindfolds and guess work. The cooking workshop had a really good flow, where we moved from demonstration to practice. The hosts were both professional and entertaining, making the participants feel at ease the entire time. I would definitely recommend Faim d'Epices.
