"A fabulous day in Meknes, despite the weather! We all left the city promising to return. From the great Moroccan recipes that we learned to prepare (Chicken Tajine with Apricots, Tk'touka & Zaalouk), to the tours of Meknes, each member of the group departed for home satisfied with the days' events and eager for the next outing."   Guests from the U.S. Embassy in Rabat

 

VeggiesSituated in the heart of Meknes (one of the ancient Imperial Cities of Morocco), "Savor Morocco" invites you to join us and learn how to make some of the most delicious food in all of Africa. You will create a masterpiece of Moroccan cuisine in the confines of a traditional riad. At our Moroccan cooking school, not only will you create your meal, but you will then eat it in a traditional salon as you learn about Moroccan culture. This memorable opportunity promises both a culinary and cultural experience for all who partake.

 

We firmly believe that the best way to learn a new dish is to practice making it with your own hands, not just listening to a set of instructions. At "Savor Morocco" we pride ourselves on giving you the opportunity to step up to your own personal cooking station to prepare your meal. Not only will you prepare some amazing Moroccan food, but you will also learn the history and tradition behind each dish. Whatever your cooking knowledge is, our classes remain small so that you can receive as much individual attention as you desire.

 

For every dish you prepare, you will learn about each of the ingredients as well as some of the unique spices found only in Morocco. RachidaIn order to provide you with the most succulent of meals, we hand-pick all of our produce and meat from the local market. This ensures that you will enjoy the freshest of feasts. To give you more confirmation of the richness of the school, read the "Testimonials" of what others have said about their time at "Savor Morocco". Or you can go to TripAdvisor.com.

 

The owner and founder of "Savor Morocco", Chris Padgett, has over 12 years of food- & customer-service experience. From management in restaurants to starting and operating his own successful catering business to serving as a personal chef, he knows what it takes to create the perfect event. "Seeing people experience something for the first time is always extremely rewarding. I believe that when someone first steps up to their cooking station a little hesitant, then leaves the school completely satisfied and confident with what they have prepared; that's a ‘good day's work' to me."
