Taroudante- During the Moroccan-American food week, which ended Saturday on the shores of Bouregerg in Rabat, US ambassador to Morocco Dwight L. Bush expressed his love for Moroccan cuisine.
Bush named a number of famous Moroccan dishes that he enjoys most. His favorite Moroccan foods are the “Meshwi,” (meat in skewers cooked over charcoal fire), fish tagine, and Bastilla (an authentic Moroccan dish made of fine layers of an almost transparent pastry called “warqa” and is stuffed with pigeon and almonds).
The US ambassador also expressed his love for Moroccan cakes and cookies. He said that he sometimes prepares American dishes by himself, especially pasta with cheese and seafood dishes, but he has never tried to personally prepare Moroccan dishes. Reda, my personal chef, “does not leave me learn anything".
During the Moroccan-American food week, held from April 10 to 18 at the initiative of the Embassy of the United States in Morocco, US chef Eric Hustad traveled to Morocco's major cities, including Tangier, Fez, and Marrakesh, in a cultural exchange of the secrets of cooking of both countries.
On the last day of the event, there was an outdoor dinner and a competition between the American chef Eric Hustad and the Moroccan chef Halima Mourid before a distinguished jury, including the US ambassador to Morocco, Dwight L. Bush, and Chef Moha.
This culinary showdown at the end of the Moroccan-American culinary week offered the public an exceptional gastronomic scene in which the two chefs did their best to prepare various dishes from the same ingredients, celebrating the culinary traditions of their countries.
