Moroccan cooking has its very own special and delicious flavors. We offer information on Mina’s Sauces and Condiments and a recipe for Chicken Tangine.
1950’s Mina grew up on the wave-crashing shores of Casablanca, where a morning stroll between the white walls of the majestic city was a culinary journey unto itself. in the 1960’s Mina traveled to Paris to hone her craft and master the demanding techniques of French cuisine. She eventually traded the beauty of Paris for the thrill of New York City, where she took her talent and passion for cooking and began her own very successful catering business. In 2010 after Mina retired, her children kept her love of sharing Moroccan cuisine with the world alive with Mina, a line of authentic Moroccan pantry staples.
