NORTH AFRICAN FOOD

Over the past few centuries, travelers, migrants, and invaders alike have influenced the taste of North African cuisine as we know it today.

In the present day, the most popular North African dishes come from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt. All contribute to the unique, distinctive flavor that is North African cuisine.

MOROCCAN CUISINE

Undoubtedly the most inventive amongst the five. The star of this cuisine is the use of aromatic spices such as ginger, saffron, turmeric, cinnamon, coriander, and paprika.

TUNISIAN CUISINE

Ask anyone about Tunisian cuisine, and they’d probably tell you about harissa, the ubiquitous spicy table condiment.

LIBYAN CUISINE

The national dish in the country is called bazin. Bazin is bread made from barley flour (or whole-wheat flour), pepper, and olive oil, boiled in water and beaten with a stick – magraf.

EGYPTIAN CUISINE

Of course, you’ve probably heard about the famous Egyptian kebabs and falafel that are widely available today. However, several other dishes are important to the culture of Egypt.

ALGERIAN CUISINE

Many centuries ago, couscous was given to the country’s poorest as a tradition. It is made from steamed semolina and served with a stew of meat and various vegetables.
