Cooking with Fatima Zahra

Market at nine, tagine by one: a morning in the riad kitchen.

Cooking with Fatima Zahra

The morning starts in the market

Our chef, Fatima Zahra, shops the same stalls every day. On a cooking morning you go with her: herbs from the man by the Bab Doukkala mosque, olives by colour, spices weighed out by hand.

Back in the riad kitchen, you cook lunch together:

  • A tagine — chicken with preserved lemon, or lamb with prunes and almonds
  • Two of the cooked salads that open every Moroccan meal
  • Bread, taken to the neighbourhood’s communal oven

Lunch is what you made, eaten on the roof. Classes run most mornings for two to six guests; ask at reception the evening before.
