The History of Moroccan Cuisine

Moroccan culinary history reflects its position at the crossroads of Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. Berber cooking traditions were enriched by Arab spice merchants, Persian cooking methods, and Andalusian refugees who fled Spain in the 15th century. The result is one of the world's most complex spice traditions.
