The specifics of the food culture in Morocco

Moroccan cuisine is one of the most diverse and sumptuous food experiences you will ever have. Moroccan cuisine has developed over thousands of years. It has been influenced and developed from a multitude of cultures such as Arab, Jewish, Iberian, Mediterranean African, Moorish, and the Middle East. Moroccan Cuisine has been refined by the royal kitchens in Marrakech, Titwan, Fez, Meknes, and Rabat.

There is nothing in this world like Moroccan spices. Over the years, there have been many cultures and refugees from a variety of countries that have settled in Morocco, bringing with them spices and many traditional dishes. This led to a vast amount of blended cuisines and spices. The most unique characteristics of this blend are recipes that cook fruit with meat, for example chicken and apricots.

Another great characteristic of Moroccan cuisine is all the Mediterranean vegetables and fruits used in recipes. It is truly unique that the country has been able to use what is produced locally and have done so for generations. Morocco also has fish, poultry, and cattle in abundance, and the availability of these food sources has been a large influence on the country’s cuisine.

Desserts are essential, too, and are not forgotten in Moroccan cuisine! Not all Moroccan desserts are sweet, however. One of the most common desserts is Kaab Ghzal (gazelle’s horns). This is a pastry covered in sugar, and stuffed with almond paste. Honey cakes are also very popular; these are made from dough that is deep fried and dipped into hot honey and sprinkled with sesame seeds.

Moroccan cuisine has such incredible variety and great flavors. It is a must for anyone who has a sense of adventure, so let’s get started adding some flavor to your meals the Moroccan way!
