Must do for any foodie! A real gem!
Fantastic night not just learning about food and cooking the Egyptian way but being allowed to become part of Ahmed’s wonderful family. Ahmed and his family were warm, welcoming and eager to immerse us in their way of life. We went as a family and my children aged 13 and 9 had a great time too. The food was delicious and we had a memorable experience! Thank you Ahmed! Highly recommended!

Amazing experience
This was one of the highlights of our trip to Cairo! Ahmed and his family are incredibly kind and welcoming, the daughters are so sweet, and the food is amazing. A beautiful, authentic way to experience Egyptian culture and food.

Delicious and amazing night over dinner
This is not just a cooking class, it is lesson in history, tradition, and among all else friendship and human dignity. Ahmed and Shorouk have shown incredible hospitality during the short time span, and I cannot thank them enough for the experience.
Now onto the dishes. Not everything was made from scratch since it would take too much time, but the in my opinion the essentials were there from a vegetarian perspective: fava beans falafel & molokhia soup. There is much history involved with molokhia that is has to be experienced first hand here in Egypt. WE also had homemade koshary and feteer, but that was already made before the class. For the meat lovers we had hawashi and kofta (made ourselves), and for the desert rice pudding. We were also served strong drink made from hibiscus (and lots of sugar). One important thing to take away from this class is measuring by feeling: no need for fancy devices, use your heart and the delicious flavours will follow!
In short, dishes on the menu were: hawashi, kofta, koshary, molokhai, falafel, feteer and rice pudding. Quite a lot for one dinner!
Highly recommended!

Great experience!
We had a beautiful experience with Ahmed and his lovely family. It was a small group of 7 other tourist in their home. We all sat around the dining room table and prepared our dinner and learned about Egyptian cuisine.

Excellent hospitality
What an amazing experience!! Ahmed and his family were the epitome of generous hospitality. By the time we left they felt like family. We were able to prep and cook authentic Egyptian food and everything was delicious! This is the type of experience everyone who visits a foreign place should have- real life and real food.

100/10 experience
This experience was absolutely incredible, the perfect way to end my trip! I went on the day of my return flight, and I’m so glad it worked out that way because I truly felt like I got to take a piece of Egyptian culture home with me. I learned how to cook several traditional dishes, including my favorite, falafel, and gained a deeper appreciation for the importance of fresh ingredients, where to find them, and even their American names. The family hosting us was so warm and welcoming, genuinely interested in getting to know their guests, which made the experience even more special. We shared a lovely breakfast and made a delicious green soup together. To top it all off, they surprised me with a beautiful handmade Egyptian rug, which now sits proudly in my home! Such a thoughtful and unexpected gift. Overall, this experience exceeded all my expectations, and I feel so lucky to have found it online.

Such a wonderful experience
From start to finish, this was a great activity! From the moment we booked it, Ahmed was super communicative, giving us detailed instructions on where to meet and reminders of our upcoming class. His wife showed us how to cook numerous dishes and we enjoyed them seated family style on the floor of their living room. Their daughters were so fun and sang one of the guests happy birthday as it was her birthday. If you want the local experience, definitely book this activity with this lovely family.
