Cookery in Taroudant

Our informal cookery courses, which are part of the “Real Morocco” programme, take place at the Naturally Morocco Guest House. These short courses are run by our delightful chefs on most afternoons of the week (normally for groups of 4 or less people) and are available to both residents and non residents. Alternatively a longer course may be arranged.

The course takes place at the Naturally Morocco Guest house in the medina; those staying elsewhere make their own way there. Afterwards the meal is eaten in the company of the guest house residents.

During the afternoon you’ll have a chance to learn about Moroccan cookery vessels, in season produce, local products and how to select good quality ingredients. Opportunities to learn more include: a small library of cookery books, a recipe sheet covering some dishes of the day and the option of making a donation to our community projects in return for an electronic copy of our cookery book.

All diets can be catered for: in Sept 2005 Veg News Magazine recognised our skill in vegetarian cookery by voting our “Real Morocco” holiday one of the 10 Best Vegetarian Holidays in the World. Read the Veg News Article "Magical Morocco" Sep/Oct 2005.

Our Recipe Book

We put this together to raise money for local projects we support. We're offering free downloads of some of our vegetarian recipes, as cooked by our staff, Fatima and Latifa, as a taster (we also cater for non-vegetarians).
