Excursion Overview
Our favourite Essaouira cooking class is located in a former almond warehouse with stone arches, near the entrance of the medina. You will use a combination of modern and traditional kitchen equipment and cooking techniques to prepare a fully authentic Moroccan meal which you can then enjoy in the wonderfully ambient oriental lounge.
Menus are chosen daily by the chefs based on seasonal markets and the catch of the day - Essaouira is famous for its delicious fish and seafood. Sample dishes include: chicken or fish pastilla, lamb tagine with almonds and dates, seabass tagine with vegetables, kefta tagine with eggs, harira soup, and seven vegetable couscous.
Please note that this class starts at 10:30am and finishes around 3pm, with a long lunch included. We recommend following this class with our Arabian Pastry Workshop for those with a sweet tooth craving a dessert after these savoury delights.

I would definitely use Holiday Architects again.Emma booked us an amazing holiday in Morocco, and really listened to what was important to us. We travelled extensively, staying in local riads to maximise the true feel of the country and what it has to offer. It was a fantastic trip. All the local staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely use Holiday Architects again.

Rebecca at Holiday Architects really listened to me when I described the sort of holiday I wanted. It was truly tailor made for us. We had a fabulous time on our expertly planned multi-destination holiday to Morocco, and all the arrangements and transfers were seamless. Charming people too - I can't recommend this company highly enough and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
