This was a great experience. I felt like I was with family during the experience. I learned a lot about how to make Egyptian dishes while enjoying the company of the family. A very genuine experience. Highly recommend.

I had such a great time with Ahmed, his wife and his 2 lovely daughters! They make you feel at home as soon as you step inside their flat. The food we had/made was amazing, special mention to the baba ganoush! I am a vegan and Ahmed arranged everything according to my regime. I strongly recommend to try this experience to enjoy Cairo, its inhabitants and life there in a genuine and very agreeable way :)

This wasn't just a cooking class; it was an invitation into the heart of an Egyptian home. Spending the afternoon with a local family provided a window into the local culture that you simply cannot get from a museum or a tour bus. The conversations were just as nourishing as the food—we discussed everything from daily life in Cairo to long-standing traditions, making the experience feel like catching up with old friends. As someone exploring the vegetarian side of Egyptian cuisine, I was incredibly impressed by the variety and depth of flavor. We prepared and tasted several traditional dishes,

We had a wonderful time cooking and eating with Ahmed and his family. The food was delicious, especially the Falafel and the Hawawshi. We also cooked something I had never heard of, like Molokhaya soup. The evening was filled with interesting conversation. Thank you for welcoming us into your home!
