Being at the crossroads of many civilizations, the cuisine of Morocco has been influenced by the native Berber cuisine, the Middle Eastern cuisines brought by Arabs, the Arabic Andalusian cuisine brought by the Moriscos when they left Spain, the Turkish cuisine from the Ottomans as well as the Jewish cuisine.
The history of Morocco is reflected in its cuisine. Political refugees left Baghdad in the Middle Ages and settled in Morocco, bringing with them traditional recipes that are now common in Morocco, but forgotten in the Middle East. We know this because there are striking similarities between a 12th century collection of recipes by Al-Baghdadi, and contemporary Moroccan dishes. A signature characteristic is cooking fruit with meat, such as quince with lamb, or apricots with chicken. Further influences upon Moroccan cuisine came from the Morisco (Muslim refugees), who were expelled from Spain during the Spanish inquisition.
