Cooking Holidays at Dar Roumana

Moroccan cuisine is considered by many to be one of the most subtle and sophisticated cuisines of the world.  Over the centuries, Moroccan cookery has incorporated the the flavours and techniques of the indigenous Berbers, the Moors of Southern Spain, and the Arabs coming from as far afield as Persia and the Levant.  A wide variety of spices and herbs such as ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, coriander and flat-leaf parsley are commonly used in every-day dishes like tagines, b'stilla, and a variety of cooked and raw salads.

Starting in 2010, we are proud to offer 5-day culinary holidays in conjunction with Culinary Quests, a culinary adventure specialist with programs based in the Mediterranean.  The program includes:

• 5 nights accommodation in a suite at Dar Roumana, breakfast and all taxes included.  The dar will be reserved exclusively for participants for the duration of the tour, so in effect, it will become your own private residence.  This ensures the undivided attention of the chefs and staff throughout the stay.

• Transfer to/from Dar Roumana on arrival/ departure

• Complementary soft drinks (water tea, coffee, juices, soda) throughout the stay at Dar Roumana

• Welcome and Farewell Dinners on evening of arrival and departure – including mineral water, tea/coffee and a bottle of wine

• Full Day Cooking Lesson,  including 2-3 hour market tour to purchase ingredients, instruction, recipes,  and of course, the resulting meal.

• Dar Roumana apron or 100% cotton tote bag (perfect for shopping in farmer´s markets back home)

• Choice of Full Day Excursions to local vineyards, olive oil presses, or hand-rolling couscous workshop. Includes guide, transport and  lunch.

• Half-Day Cooking Lesson – special short-course specialising in patisserie, jam-making, pastilla preparation, or other dishes according to participant interest.
