Where things come from, what they do, where they go.
Ingredients — weighted
Orange
The fruit that built the eastern Rif.
Smen
Aged, salted butter — the flavour-bank of the Moroccan larder.
Ras el Hanout
The spice merchant's signature, never the same twice.
Argan
The oil pressed from a tree that grows nowhere else.
Saffron
The thread of red from Taliouine that turns a tagine gold.
Preserved Lemon
The lemon turned into something else entirely by salt and time.
Almond
The nut the Andalusi brought, and the south absorbed.
Olive Oil
The fat that under-pins almost everything.
