authentic & delicious!
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!

A must do :)
This experience was our favorite of all the things we did in Egypt! It is such a blessing to be able to see the city from a local’s perspective. We love that we got to build a real connection and ask questions about daily life. The class was private. I was worried about this because we had difficulty with getting an uber and were running late, our host sent us a welcome message through WhatsApp prior to departing our country and sent updates about the meeting place and what to expect so it was easy to give him a heads up. He was so understanding and accommodating with our late arrival and really made the class so special. We made so much food! We got to try all the well-known traditional dishes and they even sent us home with some YouTube links so we could try to make some of the dishes at home. A truly must do experience!

A « must « in Cairo
This experience was really great and should not be missed in any Cairo visit. We had a wonderful evening with Ahmed and Shorouk and felt like Egyptians. We cooked the food together and the atmosphere was almost like a family reunion. The food was three times as much for us but taste wonderful and we were initiated into « family recipes ». Finally we received a gift and were escorted to the taxi. Thanks to these great people !

Amazing cooking class and cultural experience with a loving and welcoming family
We had a fantastic time with Ahmed and Shorouk. They were extremely knowledgeable about Egyptian cuisine and culture. They welcomed us into their house and gave us not only a fantastic cooking class but also an amazing cultural experience. I cannot recommend this enough!

Dining with a local family was so memorable!
Ahmed and family were the most gracious hosts to us as we felt like we were at a dinner party with old friends. We gathered in the kitchen to prepare and cook the food, learning about Egyptian culture at the same time. We were able to enjoy the food dining in the living room having fun conversation about culture and linguistics. Everything was absolutely delicious and it was a great start to our vacation!

An incredible experience
This cooking class was one of the highlights of my stay in Cairo! Ahmed and his family opened up their warm and gorgeous home to us and taught us some delicious traditional dishes. Not only was the food an amazing treat, but the learning experience was one I’ll never forget!

Don't delay, this is the way to see the real Egypt
Where to start! From the moment of first meeting Shorouk, we felt like we were being welcomed by a family member.
What followed was a truly unforgettable experience. Not only did we get to prepare, cook and eat amazing food, we got to explore Egypt through food and the history and importance of it. We were a part of an eclectic group of like minded people from very different parts of the world and at the end of the night we all considered ourselves as friends. This only happened because of the mastery of Ahmed and Shorouk.
This is an experience not to be missed!

Authentic Egyptian Experience
In the heart of Cairo, you will meet Ahmed, his wife Shorouk and their two daughters Karma and Maria. Forget about tourist cooking classes. This experience is an immersion in authentic Egyptian culture. A real moment of sharing with a wonderful family, from the preparation of some ingredients, to the hearty dinner. Ahmed will tell you about Egypt but also about his passion for Italy, from the songs of Jovanotti or Tiziano Ferro to the films with Favino up to Vita è Bella by Benigni. And in addition to having a nice evening in the company (we spent Christmas Eve) you will give support to their family thanks to the sustained financial contribution. Good life Ahmed. We hope to see you again, in Egypt or Italy. Inshallah
