Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - When the country of Morocco is mentioned people often think of the star studded, cosmopolitan city of Casablanca or inland to the great imperial city of Marrakesh. You might not think about the food.

Moroccan cuisine is typically a mix of Mediterranean, Arabic, Andalusian and Berber cuisine. Nomads called Berbers were the first inhabitants of Morocco over two thousand years ago.

Morocco is located in the northwestern corner of Africa and all the people that live there and in the past used local ingredients, such as olives, figs, and dates, to prepare lamb and poultry stews. Over time, traders and conquering nations introduced new food customs. Among them were the Phoenicians, Carthaginians and Romans. However, the strongest influence on native cooking was the Arab invasion in the seventh century A.D.

Moroccan cuisine was influenced by the country's interactions and exchanges with other cultures and nations over the centuries. So there are many interesting flavors.
