The Cook's Adventures
Marrakech, Essaouira, Agafay, Morocco
Gastronomic journey with Moroccan flavours
Morocco's culinary heritage embraces the deep-rooted traditions and cultural variety of the country. Couscous, Tajine, Pastilla, Mrouzia, and R'fissa, are some of the emblematic dishes of the country that you can’t resist. Subtly composed of a wide variety of striking flavours and scents, Moroccan cuisine draws its originality from a combination between Berber, Arab-Andalusian, and Jewish culinary traditions. Thanks to its rich cultural heritage specific to each region, Morocco has built an undisputed reputation worldwide.
A journey of the senses
In specialised markets, the stalls of spice sellers create a vivid scene of colours: the red of paprika, the beige of cumin, the yellow of turmeric, and the green of aniseed with its distinctive aroma. These natural products are displayed in woven baskets and offering a feast for the senses.
Sharing and Conviviality
The culinary tradition in Morocco is also about gathering around a table to enjoy a tasty couscous or tagine at lunchtime. Afternoon tea is not to be missed, it is the icon of traditional Moroccan beverages.
Long-standing traditions
A rich country in long-standing culture, Morocco is home to vibrant preserved traditions through generations. Every festival, ritual or special gathering is a symbol of the the living arts in the country.
A vibrant culture
As you stroll the streets of a medina, observe the hidden details of Moroccan daily life. As a Mediterranean country, Morocco is renowned for its friendly gatherings : from a refreshing tea ceremony to a delicious Couscous, the staple of solidarity, to a colourful folklore celebration, you’ll get back home with amazing memories to share.
Gnaoua Music
Gnaoua music takes us on a spiritual but also cultural journey. Being classified by UNESCO as World heritage since 2019, Gnawa music tells the story of slaves from sub-Saharan Africa. This ritual song with traditional music and dancing let you just go with the flow. The artists put on colourful costumes and sing to the beat of "Lguembri" and "Qraqeb", which are the two musical instruments of the Gnaouas. It’s not a surprise that great artists such as Led Zeppelin, Pat Metheny, Didier Lockwood or Marcus Miller have come to Morocco only to perform alongside the greatest musicians.
