At Zelij Moroccan Interiors, we stock traditional cooking pots, called ‘tajines’ with instructions for use, a variety of recipes, as well as beautiful hand decorated serving plates and bowls. We have culinary information and education for those interested in Moroccan food. Take a cooking class and learn the delights of making your own couscous. Buy a cookbook and explore the many interpretations of traditional Moroccan flavours.


Tajines
Tajines are the earthenware vessel used in Moroccan cooking.

Traditionally they were used over hot coals in a ‘qanoon’. We stock a range of traditional style tajines that have a rustic look. They can be used in the oven or over a gas flame (with a heat diffusing mat available from good kitchen stores). There is also a modern look tajine which has a cleaner finish and some simple decoration. Both styles are available in various sizes starting from 20cm for an individual serve, up to 40cm for large gatherings.

We have a Moroccan Tajine Gift Box including a standard size tajine and a cookbook. Gift wrapped in a decorative box, this makes a unique and special gift for special family and friends.

Ceramic Serving Plates and Bowls
We stock an extensive range of decorated serving plates and bowls. We have unique dinner sets, soup tureens and soup bowls. Our range is personally selected from several regions in Morocco, including Fès and Safi. Each region produces its own unique style of exquisite hand painted decoration. A large plate or bowl makes a fabulous engagement or wedding gift. We can arrange gift wrapping for you, and delivery if you require.


Cookware
We stock traditional couscoussiers. For fun outdoor entertaining Moroccan style try a qanoon. Simply place coals in the base and place your tajine on top for slow simmering of meat and vegetables.

Delicious! Kylie Kwong made it fashionable on the ABC; we guarantee you will enjoy this great cooking experience.


Tea Sets
The tea ceremony is an important ritual in Moroccan daily life. A celebration of family and community, sharing a glass of sweet and fragrant mint tea is one of the truly authentic Moroccan experiences. Our tea sets include silver teapots, ornate silver trays and a wide selection of colourful tea glasses.
