Culinary adventures in Morocco

The Moroccans embrace food as a way of life: something to savour and to spend hours revelling in alongside good company, late into the evening. Moroccan food is so much more than tagine, kebabs and couscous (though those are great, too).

A cooking holiday in Morocco will reveal to you the complexity of Moroccan flavours and the balance of each individual dish – all whilst helping you understand Moroccan culture and how is reflected in their food.

A Moroccan cooking holiday teaches you all about Moroccan flavour combinations and allows your creativity to flourish, as you understand the complexity of local ingredients and are daring and bold with them. Most importantly, you’ll share stories and a cold beer with other passionate cooks over a meal you’ve prepared together.

And with fourth-generation cooks, lifelong Moroccan chefs and local artisans showing you the way around the kitchen, you’ll return with new skills and satisfied tastebuds.

Where to experience cooking holidays in Morocco

Find the freshest ingredients on an organic farm near Marrakech on a one-day cooking class or learn the nuances and distinct regional flavours of Essaouiran cuisine cooking during a weeklong stay in  the alluring coastal town, that also boasts a thriving fish market.

Go just to explore one of Morocco’s diverse regions or combine your Moroccan cooking courses with another hobby or passion like photography.

Whatever your tastes, you can find a cookery holiday to indulge your inner chef and a group of like-minded people to experience it with. Never settle for an ordinary Moroccan holiday again.
