Meet Rachid: Where Moroccan Tradition Meets Modern Vegan Cooking

Marhaba and welcome to VeganPlat!

I’m Rachid, a former Riad Manager turned passionate home chef, on a mission to show that vegetable‑forward meals can be just as exciting, satisfying, and deeply flavorful as any other cuisine.

From the Heart of Morocco to Your Kitchen

My love for food is rooted in my Moroccan heritage. Growing up in Morocco, I learned early on that plant‑based food is not just a “diet” – it’s a way of life. Our cuisine is naturally rich in vegan treasures, from the smoky flavors of Zaalouk and the freshness of Moroccan salads to the comfort of Seven‑Vegetable Couscous.

Working for years as a Riad Manager taught me the art of hospitality and how to create a memorable guest experience. But my heart has always belonged to the rustic, earthy flavors of home cooking. One of my all‑time favorite dishes is a slow‑cooked Berber vegetable tagine – simple, nourishing, and full of soul.

Why I Created VeganPlat

We live in a fast‑paced world where processed fast food often pushes fresh vegetables to the side of the plate. I created VeganPlat to change that narrative.

I noticed that many busy people want to eat healthier, but think that vegan cooking is too time‑consuming or not flavorful enough. My goal is to bridge that gap by combining the bold spices of Moroccan cooking with quick, modern techniques to create meals that are:

  • Wholesome & Plant‑Based: Putting vegetables back in the spotlight.
  • Quick & Accessible: Perfect for a busy lifestyle.
  • Packed with Flavor: Because healthy food should never be boring.
