A Food Lover’s Guide to Morocco with Chef Joanne Weir

Thinking about Morocco? This episode will make you want to book the trip.I’m joined by James Beard Award-winning chef Joanne Weir to talk about why Morocco completely stole her heart and why she keeps going back year after year. We get into everything you need to know before you go, from the best time to visit and where to stay (hello, dreamy riads) to must-see spots like Marrakesh, Fez, and the coast of Essaouira. Joanne also shares what makes Morocco such a sensory experience, from the spice-filled souks to the incredible tea rituals and vibrant street life.And because Joanne is Joanne… we spend plenty of time on the food. Think tagines, fresh-baked bread, olive oil, and hands-on cooking with local women who’ve been perfecting these dishes for generations.We also talk cultural tips, what to wear, how to shop the markets, and why slowing down is the best way to experience it all.If you love food, culture, and immersive travel, this one’s for you.
