Sharapova is a fan of Moroccan culture and cuisine. She told the American magazine Coveteur in a 2016 interview that she knows how to cook Moroccan tajine and souscous.
“When my friends get together, we like to experiment from a cookbook. We just made a big Moroccan Tajine with couscous and caramelized onions, finished off with fresh mint tea with pine nuts,” she said.
In 2015, Sharapova shared another picture of her home-made tajine.
As a professional tennis player, Sharapova currently ranks 29th in the world. She became the world’s number 1 for the first time in 2005, at the age of 18.
