Moroccan cuisine is considered one of the most important cuisines in the world. One of the reasons for its importance is its remarkable diversity of influences. The cuisine of first inhabitants, the Berbers, still exist today in the staple dishes like tangible and couscous. The Arab invasion brought new spices, nuts, dried fruits and the sweet and sour combination that we see in dishes like tangible (a unique clay based dish in which stews are cooked and served) with dates and lamb. The Moors introduced olives, olive juice and citrus while the Jewish-Moors left behind their sophisticated preserving techniques that we see in the frequent use of preserved pickled, lemons, etc. the Ottoman Empire introduced barbecue (kebabs) to Moroccan cuisine. The French colony, although short-lived compared to reign of some of these other empires, left behind a culture of cakes, pastries and even wine. As always with preparing great dishes, first the ingredients have to be fresh which is why we source them daily at local markets.
