Berber Cooking Class

An Introduction and History of Moroccan Cooking:
Drawing from Arab, Berber, Jewish, African and French traditions, Moroccan cuisine is widely recognized and provides a healthy diet. Morocco is home to an abundance of locally grown fresh food, due to the wonderful year round climate and extensive irrigation. Used with an imaginative range of spices, herbs and oils, the produce creates a distinct range of tasty meals including Tajines, Couscous, Salads and Berber flat breads. A wander round a souk gives you a sense of the immense range of fresh vegetables and fruits available to Moroccan families and chefs.








Berber Cooking Class preferable to be taken on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays to explore the local Berber weekly market.
