You will find dishes that reflect Berber, Turkish, Spanish, Middle Eastern, and the Portuguese culture to name a few.
Spices are the most important ingredient in Moroccan cuisine. Many are imported but Saffron from the Tiliouine area, Olives from Meknes, Oranges and Lemons from Berkan and Fez, and of course good Cumin, Paprika, and Dates from the South-eastern Sahara oasis are found in every kitchen and most recipes and are exported around the world.
Morocco is noted for several dishes among them, Pastilla, a savoury-sweet Moroccan meat pie made by filling a thin flaky pastry shell with a mixture of tender braised poultry, eggs, and fried almonds.

Tagine, a slow-cooked stew with meat and aromatic vegetables and sauce. Couscous, a famous dish of semolina served with meat or vegetable stew spooned over it.
