“Moroccan cuisine, sensory journey and ancestral traditions”, is the title of the book which brings together the most emblematic recipes of Moroccan gastronomy that the Moroccan embassy has selected to give a taste to the Argentine and Latin American reader in general.
In an elegant four-color edition, the book highlights famous Moroccan recipes and an anthology of photos that go beyond the boundaries of cuisine to present other aspects of Moroccan culture, ranging from traditional costumes, to fantasia shows, to passing famous monuments of the Kingdom.
On this occasion, the Moroccan ambassador in Buenos Aires, Fares Yassir, indicated that this initiative is part of “culinary diplomacy”, which sheds light on a unique cultural expression of the Kingdom, namely its rich and diverse cuisine.
In the preface to the book, the Moroccan diplomat underlined “that there is no coincidence in seeing our gastronomy triumph in international competitions, like the Culinary World Cup organized in Tunis in 2022”.
He added that “thinking about Moroccan gastronomy is like remembering its flavors, its colors and its smells. A real assault on the senses in the most beautiful way.”
Roberto Frigeiro, director of institutional relations at the largest Argentinian daily “La Nacion”, shared his experience with a hand-picked audience during his 33 trips to Morocco.
Frigeiro particularly insisted on the legendary hospitality of the Moroccans which is expressed largely through a diversity of dishes which “enchant the eyes first, before the taste”.
Hernan Rossi, director of the House of the Province of Santa Fe in Buenos Aires, which hosted the presentation of the book, emphasized that this publication “is much more than just a book. It is an invitation to visit Morocco through its ancient gastronomy, to taste its flavors and, I would even say, to smell its smells” through the pages of this publication.
On this occasion, Martin Mazzuca Vidal, one of the best chefs in Santa Fe, explored the aromas of Moroccan cuisine by fusing typical dishes from central Argentina with flavors and ingredients from Morocco.
Subsequently, the public made up of businessmen, political leaders, around twenty ambassadors and diplomats and media people, was able to appreciate a multitude of Moroccan dishes whose spicy aromas filled the large hall of the House of Santa Fe, in the center of the Argentine capital.
