Ce qui rend notre activité vraiment spéciale, c’est l’hospitalité marocaine authentique que nous offrons à nos invités. Au-delà de la cuisine, nous partageons avec eux tout ce qu’il faut savoir sur le Maroc et Essaouira, en les aidant à découvrir les meilleurs endroits pour acheter des épices, des cadeaux et de l’huile d’argan à des prix locaux équitables. Nous leur recommandons également des plats marocains authentiques que la plupart des touristes ne goûtent jamais, et suggérons des activités uniques pour enrichir leur séjour. Parfois, nous nous rencontrons même avant le cours de cuisine pour faire les courses ensemble, ou le lendemain matin pour une visite à pied de la ville, explorant les marchés côte à côte et découvrant Essaouira comme un véritable local.

EXCELLENT Based on 37 reviews Posted on MargitaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best tajine we tasted in Morocco AND we cooked it! The cooking experience with Isaac is something we could have never missed! It was fun, informative and will remain a great memory from Essaouira. The shopping for spices and ingredients was so interesting and the cooking evening peaceful, enjoyable and super succesful! Yum! More than just cooking, we explored the market for everything we were interested in with the help of Isaac. Including learning how to make proper mint tea at homePosted on Sofía C.P.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ishak es el mejor chef de Essaouira. Es un anfitrión de diez desde el principio hasta el final. Me llevó al mercado local a comprar ingredientes frescos que nos hacía falta para preparar nuestro Tajine con pollo, limón encurtido y aceitunas. Desde que comenzamos, me sentí cómoda en todo momento y me explicó todo al detalle. Incluso preparó té marroquí a la menta y dió información importante para saber si está bien preparado. Nuestra clase de cocina fue increíble y la disfruté muchísimo. Muchas gracias Amelie e Ishak, por abrirme las puertas de vuestra casa y por ese maravilloso regalo que me llevo con tanto cariño a casa.Posted on Tianzhi LiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful homely Moroccan cooking class in a beautiful home. Our host Isaac is warm, knowledgeable, and friendly, and the experience felt truly authentic. Highly recommended.Posted on Janine HochstenbachTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Five star and more! Best Moroccan experience so far. We couldn’t be more happy with Tatse with Locals. Thank you for the amazing and delicious day!Posted on Marta LPTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. La millor experiència a Essaouira! Primera vegada que fem un curs de cuina, ens agraden les activitats més mogudes però el dia de pluja no ens ho va permetre i quina sort!!! L’Isaac ens va ensenyar a cuinar Tajine però va ser el GUIA OFICIAL de TOTS ELS SECRETS de Essaouira: On comprar Tajine, espècies, regals de Nadal, oli d’Argan…. Gràcies per tot Isaac, ets el millor!!!!!Posted on Martin CallumTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Isaac was class from start to finish. Communication was excellent and we met him easily at the local market. We shopped for our fresh groceries and then were invited to his home to prepare our dishes. 4 of us prepared 3 amazing tagines with great explanation of what we were doing. Cooked properly, the tagines took 1 hour, but the time was filled with other local explanations and recommendations including the proper way to make mint tea. Lunch was a feast and we spent the next few days going to Isaac's local recommendations. These local insights really made our trip to Essaouira special, and we bumped into Isaac at a few of his local places! He even showed us a location to buy a tagine pot to take home - only 20 dirhams!! Thanks so much for a great afternoon and the bonus experiences.Posted on Brennan CumberlandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn’t have had a better time learning to cook with Isaac. I got to experience the market, learn how to properly make mint tea, and learnt a lot about Moroccan cuisine, culture and lifestyle. Isaac gave so many incredible recommendations for my stay in Essaouira and beyond. I can’t wait to continue cooking the incredibly delicious meals I learnt to make during my stay and long afterPosted on Janick RaymondTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nous avons passé un super moment avec nos hôtes. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié l'intimité dea échanges et de l'authenticité de l'expérience. Mille fois mieux qu'un cours de cuisine de groupe! Merci encore!Posted on Bo HallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cooking with Chef Isacc was a highlight of our trip. He provided a great experience from shopping in local markets, to prepping, cooking and dining. He is organized, making it easy to prep and is an excellent teacher. He has an engaging personality and made the entire experience fun. He is expert in using spices and providing step by step instructions. One highlight was making and learning to make and learn how to pour mint tea We would highly recommend his cooking class. We made two different tangines vegetarian and chicken, both were delicious!Posted on CarolynTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We spent a wonderful few hours with Isaac learning how to make a real chicken tagine and a vegetable tagine. From our meeting point we selected our ingredients from the local market and then off to his home to put it all together. We also now know the art of making mint tea which tasted much better than in restaurants, and he explained why (sourcing the correct mint back home could be an issue) and learnt so much more about local life. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Isaac's course.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

EXCELLENT Based on 30 reviews Posted on Peter HVerified Best cooking experience We did the cooking class with Isaac and couldn’t have been happier. The lamb and chicken tajines we cooked were the best we had in our whole stay in Morocco. Isaac not only taught us about tajine and local cuisine, he also gave us many local recommendations and helped us buy our own tajine and spices from local markets. I would recommend this experience to anyone travelling to Essaouira !Posted on Margo YVerified The best cooking experience we could have had! We decided last minute to join Isaac’s cooking experience and we were so glad we did it! The whole evening was great. We learned so much about Moroccan cuisine, spices, the mint tea, the tajines we cooked were hands down the best we tasted during our holiday in Morocco. Isaac was a lovely host and offered so much more than a cooking lesson, he helped us buy spices and everything local we were interested in! The whole experience was fun and 100% worth doing it!Posted on Tina JVerified Cooking class in Essaouira Fantastic cooking class in Essouira. We bought our ingredients in a local market and then cooked the best tahini I ever tasted. We also learned about tea making culture and had lovely chats with Isaac who was so welcoming and kind. I really enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend it.Posted on James CVerified Top host, amazing chat, and amazing food. Smiles all round. Isaac was an exceptional host from start to finish.He couldn't have done more.Fitting me in last minute, as flying home the next day. Very welcoming, easy to speak with and instantly puts you at ease.A fountain of knowledge on traditional morrocan cooking/lifestyle.He is full of useful information about Essaouira the local area, and beyond.I highly recommend this experience,with Isaac, you won't leave disappointed.Posted on JMJSeattleVerified Don’t Miss This Experience Isaac and his girlfriend were incredible hosts! The renowned Moroccan hospitality at its highest level! ❤️ We shopped at a very local market, (loved it!) we were then invited into Isaac‘s incredibly clean, darling home. We had asked to prepare a vegetarian and a meatball tangine. Isaac showed us how to prepare everything. The spices were amazing! While our food cooked in the traditional clay pots, Issac showed us the proper way to make and serve mint tea. It was a revelation! Mint tea will never be the same for me after Issac’s explanation. We will never forget this evening. It was the best experience we had while in Essaouira, and one of our best memories from ALL of our time in Morocco. Blessings Issac, for you, your girlfriend, and your families. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Posted on Carol RVerified Don't miss this experience! We met Isaac at the market to shop for our meal and were greeted so warmly and enthusiastically. We knew we were in great hands. Onto his home then and began our tutorial on traditions and culture as well as cooking. We made 2 different Tangines. Each were delicious. We felt so welcomed that we could stay the night and sleep off our food hangover if need be. Today he sent us recommendations for restaurants and dishes to try. Plus, shopping tips. I cannot recommend spending an evening with Isaac and his darling girlfriend more highly. Definitely a 5 star experience.Posted on Morgane PVerified Sunbeams in Essaouira! The best cooking class in Essaouira! Ishak and Amélie are adorable. Everything is there to have a great time. Go ahead!!Posted on amandine CVerified incredible culinary experience as a family we were able to discover the secrets of the tagine and bring back with us a know-how that we will use at home with pleasure. Thank you to the hosts for their Welcoming, kindness, advice and love of sharing. what a good time!!!!Posted on Lianne DVerified Super experience! It was my last day in Morocco after a fortnightly tour with friends. Spontaneously I decided to do a cooking workshop myself the night before, almost everything was full. Isaac arranged with another group so I could trade places with them. Super nice! You choose the tagine you want to make yourself. We started at the local market to do the shopping. After this you will be invited to Isaac's house and the cooking class will start. I learned a lot about the different spices, but also about the Moroccan culture. You step out of your tourist bubble for a moment.Really a unique experience, and delicious food😋Posted on Laëtitia LVerified Unique experience! Great experience shared with my 16 year old daughter! I can only recommend! On the program: - races to the market to realize the tagine we had chosen when registering. -head to Isaac's home to cook. Friendly Mood and in all simplicity. Like at home!! Also, we got to know his very nice companion, Amélie. - tea ceremony - sharing the meal with my whole family (because Amélie even went to get my husband and my son!!).The next day we met in the Medina to do some shopping. Isaac took us to his small suppliers of spices, Amlu, Argan... He also gave us his addresses of restaurants and other shops...I am very happy to have crossed paths with this adorable couple! It was much more than a cooking class!!! Unique experience!!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
