Tunisian cuisine features all the hallmarks of delicious North African food: complex spices, combinations of fruit and meat, Mediterranean ingredients and a hint of French colonial influence. Tagines, the flavourful stews that range from Morocco to Egypt, get there name from the characteristic conical dishes of the same name that they are most often cooked in.
