Background

Moroccan cuisine is home to some of the most tantalizing food imaginable with its sweet and spicy combinations, and its exciting use of cumin and coriander, safran ginger and cinnamon, chilies and turemic, olives and preserved limes.

North African food and cooking is a fascinating reflection of a history of countries whose invaders have come and gone, each leaving a stamp on the cuisine. Northern cities such as Tangiers, Fez, Algiers, Constantine and Tunis, have a cuisine that's a reflection of the diversity of its inhabitants, which have included Berbers, Romans, Arabs, Andalusians, Ottomans and French.
