Exotic Flavors
The taste of Morocco is exotic, full of rich deep earthy flavor. It has long been considered as one of the most diversified cuisines in the world because of centuries of interaction between Morocco and the outside world. The cuisine of Morocco is a mix of Arab, Berber, Moorish, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean African, Iberian, and Jewish influences.
This lens will introduce you to some basics of Moroccan cookery, including links to reference material, books on the subject, and more.

I tried couscous years ago and didn't like it (maybe it was how it was prepared) but your lens and pictures have inspired me to have another go. Thanks for the great information. Posted May 12, 2008 |

Love the spice picture! I love spice in general. Not sure where, but I have heard/read the name kharkoum before and always wonder what it was. My favorite is cardamom, but I think it is more related to Indian food than morrocan. Posted May 01, 2008 |

CousCous along with brown rice and Quinoa are among my favorite alternatives to pasta. Your spice additions make my mouth water. Thank you for sharing this lens! Posted April 15, 2008 |
