Amazing experience with Chamsi, from the market visit to being welcomed into her home. The food and experience was excellent.

Chamsi and her family (dogs included) were excellent hosts, so welcoming and fun to talk to! We weren't sure what to do with our free day in Casablanca before our tour began, and I'm so glad we chose this! The food was of course great as well.

What an excellent way to see the markets and learn a bit about the culture from a local. Such a great experience, delicious food and every question answered. Chamsi taught us so much, and we learned a few new dishes that are in our rotation back home. Highly recommend.

Cooking with Chamsi was the highlight of my time in Casablanca. I felt like I was hanging out with an old friend. Chamsi and her family were so welcoming. We laughed and enjoyed a delicious meal.

This was an amazing experience. Chamis and her family were delightful. Going to the market for the ingredients and swing all the produce was worthwhile. Learn a lot about Moroccan food. The meal was excellent and the conversation with Chamis and her husband was informative and interesting. I will recommend the to any of my friends who visit Morocco.

What a great way to start our vacation in Morocco! We selected this cooking class based on internet reviews and am glad to pass along our experience. We were met at our hotel by Chamsi who immediately engaged us with her love and enthusiasm for all things Morocco. We had a great time shopping with her at the local market and we were encouraged to smell spices, sample local dates and nuts, watch her select all of the fresh local produce, and we selected the protein. For us it was shrimp for appetizers and chicken for the main dish. Within a few hours of cooking, she made us feel more like family than guests. The meal was “over the top” delicious and the wine was perfect. She blended all of the seasonings and it seemed like all of our tastebuds were firing at once. Five stars for this young lady and a repeat visit by us if we return to Morocco!

Perfect way to start a Moroccan vacation! Had a delightful time visiting the local market w Chamsi selecting ingredients for our lunch. She’s a warm and gracious hostess - I really enjoyed my time in her lovely home. I learned a lot about the use of spices in Moroccan cooking and look forward to recreating the tagine at home.

The last days of our holiday were spent in Casablanca. With the help of Chamsi we had the opportunity to learn how to shop and cook like a Moroccan!. It was a fun day spent preparing delicious food purchased that morning from the market and local bakery. The butcher prepared our lamb for the tagine and our squid and prawns were cleaned and cut to order. Chasmi welcomed us into her beautiful home to cook and eat the delicious results! It was so much fun!!! Thank you Chasmi for making it one of the highlights of our trip!

My cooking lesson with Chamsi Dibs was a wonderful way to start the New Year! My schedule changed, and she was kind enough to move my cooking lesson to January 1. The lesson started with a shopping trip to the market. I was amazed by the quality and variety of the produce. Then it was on to the fresh chickens to choose one for our tagine. Finally, we stopped at an amazing bakery to buy treats for desert. I received great instructions on preparing mint tea, a beautiful Moroccan salad, and lemon chicken tajine. Chamsi's English language skills are impeccable. While at her home she also provided insights into the typical Moroccan home and lifestyle. The food we prepared was absolutely delicious. My only regret was that I was jet-lagged and lacked the appetite necessary to enjoy all that wonderful food! I will repeat this experience again if I return to Casablanca. Chamsi, thank you again for a wonderful and delicious afternoon.
