Tajine is very popular and loved in Morocco. It Is part of every family tradition and Moroccan culture. It’s dates back to 18th century. Tajine can be eaten as an everyday dish or for big events like weddings and religious days.

Moroccan families normally eat their meals together. These moments provide the opportunity build stronger better relationships, giving a sense of belonging. It also gives parents a chance set good examples of healthy eating and polite manners at the table. We enjoy the moment when we first taste a delicious Tajine.

Thank you Adnan for sharing this recipe for the 2020 virtual multicultural festival.

My name is Said Lotfi, I'm a chef from Morocco. I've been living in Whistler for the last 4 years. I would like to thank everyone for giving me the opportunity to share some of our unique Moroccan cuisine, and since it is Ramadan I'd like to cook a Moroccan soup. It's a dish we call Harira that you can find almost in every Moroccan house while breaking the fast. We can have it with dates or dried figs.

My name is Rachid, I'm a chef from Morocco.’m sharing Moroccan broiled chicken with sauce—djaj mhammar b’dghmira—because it’s a dish that truly represents the heart of Moroccan hospitality. It’s often served at family gatherings, celebrations, or when we want to honor a guest. I have many memories of helping my mother and grandmother in the kitchen, preparing this dish for special occasions. The smell of the spices and the slow cooking process always brought the family together. For me, this dish is more than food—it’s tradition, emotion, and connection.
