Agadir Tagine Workshop - Souss-Style Slow Cooking & Argan
Master the tagine on Morocco's Souss coast, with a regional accent: Agadir's argan oil, almonds and Berber flavours. A hands-on workshop focused entirely on building the perfect slow-cooked tagine and the Souss pantry behind it.
Agadir, the modern beach city of the Souss, sits in the heart of Amazigh argan country, and its cooking carries that regional signature - argan oil, amlou, almonds and Berber flavours alongside the Atlantic catch. This workshop focuses entirely on the tagine, the dish that defines Moroccan slow cooking, taught with the Souss accent, so you master both the universal technique and the local character.
You learn how the conical clay pot works and build a tagine step by step: layering the aromatics and vegetables so nothing burns, arranging the meat or fish, and balancing the spices - cumin, ginger, paprika, saffron - with preserved lemon, olives and the slow time that carries the flavour. The regional twist runs through it, from argan oil and almonds to a Souss-Berber vegetable or fish tagine reflecting Agadir's coast and its argan heartland.
The emphasis is on principles you can reuse - heat control, the order of ingredients, how little liquid a tagine needs, how to know when it is done - so you leave able to improvise your own. You eat the tagine you build with fresh bread and salads, and the host advises on the Souss pantry and on choosing a clay tagine pot to take home. It is a natural, hands-on experience for a beach-resort stay, connecting Agadir to the deep Amazigh food culture around it.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Souss twist on the tagine?
Agadir sits in Amazigh argan country, so the workshop weaves in argan oil, amlou, almonds and Berber flavours, alongside the option of an Atlantic fish tagine from the coast.
How is this different from a general cooking class?
It focuses entirely on the tagine - the pot, the layering, the spice balance and the slow braise - so you master the method behind every version rather than a broad menu.
Can it be vegetarian or fish-based?
Yes. A Souss vegetable tagine or an Atlantic fish tagine both teach the same technique. Tell us your preference when booking.
