Made with preserved lemon, garlic, green olives and spices, chicken tagine's flavors are simple yet incredibly complex.

Recently, in the deepest part of winter, I momentarily hung up my bunny boots and facemask and took a trip to Morocco. I went to learn about art and music, to see a few friends, and, of course, I went for the food. First stop -- Marrakech. After a day of dreamy jetlag, I made my way to a cooking school deep within the heart of the medina, the old fortified part of the city. The lesson: Fragrant, flavorful chicken tagine.
