00:00Welcome to MEDIEN TV, you have just seen, dear viewers, the joy of the Moroccan pastry chefs
00:29during their victory at the 2024 Africa Cup, which took place in Marrakech.
00:34The day before, Morocco had won a stunning victory at the 2024 edition of the Bocuse d'Or Africa,
00:41an event that celebrates Moroccan culinary art in all its diversity.
00:47Organized in the city of Ocre, this prestigious tournament saw the best chefs on the continent face each other.
00:52Thanks to their technical mastery and the richness of their culinary heritage,
00:58the Moroccan chefs won an international jury, once again confirming the place of the kingdom
01:06as the leader of African gastronomy.
01:09I ask you to listen to Florent Buisson, he is the representative of the Bocuse d'Or.
01:15Morocco, for me, is really the country that carries not only its own gastronomy,
01:21but also that pulls up all African gastronomy.
01:26It is a country that is rich in an immense culture, which means a very rich gastronomy,
01:35rich in its products, its terroirs, its chefs, its restaurants.
01:40And of course, it involves both cuisine and pastry.
01:44And that's why we decided, when we set up our African selection for the Bocuse d'Or,
01:50to rely on Rahal Evans here, and on Kamal Rahal, who, without a doubt,
01:58has been the man who, for 20 years, with the Rahal family,
02:03has really sought to put Morocco at the forefront of the international scene,
02:08and at the same time, a process so that the African identity in terms of gastronomy is really at the top,
02:15and has pulled it up.
02:17A Moroccan victory on the Bocuse d'Or seems to me to be completely logical.
02:22It is important to know that Lille-Maurice had won first place in Morocco two years ago in Darla.
02:29And so Morocco has been bravely and brilliantly looking for its title.
02:35Morocco is therefore doubly sacred,
02:38since it also won the 2024 edition of the Africa Cup of Pastry,
02:43a raffined competition organized as part of the official tournament of the African chefs.
02:49The Moroccan team, composed of the duo Mohamed El Amrawi and Omar Dib,
02:53was crowned Africa's champion after 10 hours of competition,
02:56followed by Lille-Maurice and Tunisia,
02:58who respectively accessed the second and third steps of the podium.
03:03Placed under the patronage of His Majesty the King Mohamed VI,
03:06this competition was marked by the participation of eight teams representing Morocco,
03:11Burkina Faso, the Ivory Coast, Egypt, Ghana, Lille-Maurice, Senegal and Tunisia.
03:17I invite you to listen to Kamel Rahel, the president of TOC Africa.
03:22To have the Bocuse d'Or Africa is a legitimacy,
03:26and I want to dedicate this victory to His Majesty the King Mohamed VI,
03:31may God bless him.
03:32Morocco won the title in 2018,
03:37we lost it in 2022 because of Covid-19.
03:43Alhamdoulilah, today we won it again.
03:46It's just a legitimacy that you know,
03:47Moroccan cuisine and gastronomy in its place in the world,
03:51it was confirmed and reconfirmed.
03:54That's why today there is work, it comes from nowhere.
03:59It's work, it's a challenge, it's serious, it's research.
04:06It's the work of taste.
04:08And today Morocco is the champion of Africa.
04:11And God willing, there will be two countries that will go to the Bocuse d'Or World,
04:16God willing, in Lyon in January 2025.
04:20The success of Moroccan cuisine,
04:22recognized today as one of the best in the world,
04:25is in its ability to combine flavors, aromas and spices.
04:29A Moroccan dish is above all an invitation for all the senses of smell,
04:34sight and taste.
04:35Today, many Moroccan chefs, but also foreigners,
04:38celebrate Moroccan gastronomy and allow it to access its letters of nobility.
04:43Moroccan cuisine is not frozen in time.
04:46It is above all alive, evolved and through the ages,
04:50while preserving the gestures and techniques learned by our ancestors.
04:56I suggest you listen to Ibrahim Adia.
04:58He is a Senegalese chef.
05:00It was to make the African gastronomy shine.
05:04And that's what I still care about.
05:06Unfortunately, we are not on the podium,
05:09but we are going to leave to come back stronger.
05:13After that, there is always a bit of suspense,
05:15because Morocco is always a potential winner,
05:20because they have proven themselves for several years.
05:25And I, as a candidate who is now evolving in France,
05:31it's a pleasure to come back to Morocco,
05:36because it is a friend of the country of the Teranga, which is Senegal.
05:43And music to finish and direction to Saudi Arabia,
05:46since the singer and composer Saoudian Asael Bichi,
05:51who uses only his first name as an artist,
05:54released his first single Asliya.
05:57I suggest you listen to this excerpt from the clip,
06:00which is shot entirely in the streets of Jeddah.
06:03Let's listen to it.
06:30Thank you, dear viewers, for your loyalty.
