I have to confess, I can't survive without Moroccan food. Ever since my childhood, my mother spoiled my whole family with a veriety of Moroccan tajines that are addictively delicious. These recipes are my favorites:
But the couscous is a different story. Some of my best memories with my mother were during the time she prepared couscous of all Moroccan food. This dish is more to me than just food. It's a sort of a symbolic connection with mother that I cherish a lot.
Check it out! yamyam...
She would say,"make the food delicious. Pleasure their taste buds and they will always want to be with you." Guess what? Every time I think of couscous I head home to see Mom. Oops! I just got that urge again!
It is true that heaven is under mothers' feet.
And yes she would also say :"The secrets to delicious cooking are the Moroccan spices Ok! Enough about mommys story! I am starting to sound like a mama's boy. Let me go back to cuisine.
I have put some recipes on this website for you to try if you like to cook. If you just want to try tajine or couscous without the hustle of cooking, I have listed some Moroccan restaurants also.
Everyone should try this delicious and rich cuisine. James the First said: he was a bold man who first swallowed an oyster" but remember also what Lucretius said: what is food to one man maybe fierce poison to others.
But don't worry, there is something for every one in Moroccan cuisine. It has been influenced by Berber, African, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Jewish cuisine. So you might not find Moroccan food totally unfamiliar.
