Moulay Youssef

Morocco has mingled and interacted with other cultures for many centuries, and as a result, has a vividly diverse cuisine, and a rich variety of dishes. Over the years, traditional recipes were enriched with Arab, Moorish, Berber and Spanish influences, and perfected in the country’s royal kitchens before it became staples of households.



Modern Moroccan food is pleasingly fragrant, with its bouquet of aromatic spices and fresh herbs. It is healthy and refreshing, with the tangy tastes of fresh and preserved lemons, and the goodness of olives, fruits and nuts. While some dishes are steamed or grilled with no oil, almost all others feature olive oil. Unusual cooking techniques, distinct flavors and unforgettable tastes have now made Moroccan cuisine popular around the world.
