​Moroccan cuisine is a vibrant blend of flavors, spices, and cooking techniques that have been passed down through generations. Influenced by Arab, Berber, Andalusian, and Mediterranean traditions, Moroccan food is known for its rich, aromatic dishes that bring people together. From slow-cooked tagines to fluffy couscous and refreshing mint tea, let’s explore the essence of authentic Moroccan cuisine and how these dishes are prepared.
