Moroccan cuisine is one of the richest and most varied in the world, famous for its spicy flavors and fresh ingredients. Influenced by centuries of cultural intermingling between Berbers, Arabs, Andalusians and Sub-Saharans, Moroccan gastronomy offers a range of dishes that appeal to gourmets the world over.
Emblematic dishes include the famous couscous, often served with the family on Fridays, and tajine, a stew with a thousand variations. Argan oil, used in both cooking and cosmetics, is another typically Moroccan product that reflects the richness of the local terroir.
Spices play an essential role in Moroccan cuisine. Ras el hanout, a spice blend of cumin, turmeric, cinnamon and coriander, is used in many dishes to add warm, complex flavors.
Moroccan pastries, such as gazelle horns and chebakias, are also a symbol of this culinary richness.
