I'm a self-taught chef that never went to culinary school, learned the hard way. I kind of just throw it of the box a little bite more. I was born in Morocco, a country where traditions and family are cherished. Food is an important part of Moroccan identity. My favourite memory as a child was the constant smell of the delicious food that my mom was cooking. I would pretend to cook with my mom and she would let me play at cooking with her. At that time boys / males were not trained for those sort of concepts and usually they never got involved in the kitchen, but I consider myself as a rebel and I really want to learn cooking

I bring a great respect of classic technics. It is much harder to find the old traditional food because people don't want to put time and effort in making it. Moroccan food is labour intensive but the rewards of patience is priceless.

For me, cooking is...

Is a gate to art where you can express yourself. Ingredients is nature and nature is beautiful, delicate and different everyday

I learned to cook at...

My Mom taught me how to cook and I’m grateful for that. I failed a lot at first bit good stories start with failure, and since that day never stopped

A cooking secret...

is my magic mix of spices, this is where the flavour comes from, without the right spices my culinary creations will not embody the spirit & palates.

Rachid turned our home into a fine dining haven! From the moment he arrived, his warmth and professionalism made us feel at ease. Every dish he prepared was a masterpiece—meticulously crafted, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavour. He tailored the menu to suit our dietary preferences and included family favorites like paneer tikka, making the experience feel truly personal. What stood out the most was Rachid’s passion for his craft. He described every ingredient and explained the cooking process with such detail and enthusiasm that it felt like a culinary masterclass. Watching him work was as much a treat as enjoying the meal itself! The best part? My kids had the freedom to enjoy the experience in the comfort of their own space, making it a relaxed and unforgettable evening for the whole family. Thank you, Rachid, for making our day so special. Highly recommend him for anyone looking to elevate their dining experience!
