The word Madaq means ‘flavour’ in Moroccan Arabic, and Moroccan cuisine pursues bold flavours in every dish, but with simplicity at its heart. With these stunning dishes, Nargisse authentically showcases the rich blend of Arab and Berber influence in her home country’s cooking, but in a relaxed style, with simple ingredients and straightforward techniques.

Morocco is famous for its tagines and scented couscous, zingy salads, fragrant roasts and sweet pastries, but beyond these more familiar recipes, there are classic and contemporary dishes to uncover, all celebrating the aromatic and alluring flavours of Morocco. From Roasted Spice Aubergine with Yogurt & Harissa Chilli Crisp and Sticky Orange Turmeric Chicken Skewers to Orange Blossom Lemon Bars with Mint Sugar, Madaq is full of inspirational recipes that deserve to be shared.

I love how Nargisse translates tradition - you don't necessarily need clay pots or days of sun-drying to make brilliant Moroccan food. She's made these flavours work for all kitchens and all schedules without losing the magic. It's confident, accessible, and full of madaq.
