Spend a culinary day in Morocco!

/in /by

How I grew up and experienced the kitchen of my Mother Yamna El Ouafrassi (90) is that the round table in the living room of Yamna in the 1970s was completely full, several times a day. Not only because we grew up with 8 children at home, but because the Moroccan food culture is very extensive and a real social experience. Neighbors, friends and family joined at different times every day. News was exchanged, gossiped, laughed and serious life issues discussed. And especially; they enjoyed .. the rich Moroccan cuisine.

Intriguing Moroccan cuisine is known worldwide for many products in harmony with each other. Thereby; a lot of creativity, precision and presentation. Moroccan cuisine has a lot of outside influences. This popular kitchen has traces of French, Spanish, Greek, Jewish, Turkish, Portuguese and African cuisine. Yet real Moroccan cuisine descends from original Berbers (Yamna’s origin), the first inhabitants of North Africa. Each family and region has its own recipes that are passed on from mother to daughter or son and thus, despite a lot of developments in the country, the classic and traditional dishes remain the most popular! Yamna has passed on this passion and love for Moroccan cuisine to son Aziz Ouchan with 1 personal message from Yamna to son: Share Traditional Premium ‘Cuisine Marocaine’ with Europe to push boundaries and share knowledge! And that is why Aziz would like you to take a look at Premium ‘Cuisine Marocaine’, to discover the real experience of a traditional “day of culinary Morocco”.
