Product Description
Product Description
Paula Wolfert’s name is synonymous with revealing the riches of authentic Mediterranean cooking, especially the cuisine of Morocco. In The Food of Morocco, she brings to bear more than forty years of experience of, love of, and original research on the traditional foodways of that country. The result is the definitive book on Moroccan cuisine, from tender Berber skillet bread to spiced harira (the classic soup made with lentils and chickpeas), from chicken with tangy preserved lemon and olives to steamed sweet and savory breast of lamb stuffed with couscous and dates. The recipes are clear and inviting and infused with the author’s unparalleled knowledge of this delicious food. Essays illuminate the essential elements of Moroccan flavor and emphasize the accessibility of once hard-to-find ingredients such as saffron, argan oil, and Moroccan cumin seed.
Lavishly photographed in full color, The Food of Morocco not only showcases Wolfert’s tantalizing recipes but also evokes Morocco in all its timeless splendor and mystery: its markets with their lush produce, its dazzling textiles and intricate mosaic tiles, its communal ovens and ancient souks, and of course its people, from Marrakech to Tangier. A labor of love four decades in the making, The Food of Morocco is a once-in-a-lifetime book of uncommon scope and authenticity, an essential work for every serious cook, anyone interested in Moroccan cuisine, and discerning armchair travelers alike.

The Best Moroccan Cookbook Ever Written in English,
By E. Lenderking - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Food Of Morocco (Hardcover)
Paula Wolfert's new book on Moroccan cooking is indisputably the best book ever written on the subject. She draws on a life experience of over 40 years with Morocco making her observations and insights invaluable. If you have ever read any of her other books, and I say read, because her books are more than just collections of recipes, they are a highly readable collection of history, anecdotes, stories and great cooking, then you will know that this is consistent theme in all of her books. Here recipes have been painstakingly written down, perfected, tested, adjusted, and made to work beautifully.This is a rarity in today's world of cookbook writing, but with Paula's recipes, you know that they will always work, that they are unambiguous, clear, and concise. If you are after the quintessential book on Moroccan cookery, then this is it. 29 of 35 people found the following review helpful

Retread of Earlier Book,
By K. Krewer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Food Of Morocco (Hardcover)
I liked this book and really enjoyed the pictures but was sadly disappointed that this was a retread of the authors earlier work on Couscous from 1973. Some of the text and recipes are exactly the same.... I erroneously bought both... and as I was reading the second found it very familiar..... it was the exact same story in the same words. So for $26 you get pictures and for $13 you get recipes with no pictures. You decide. Note that the new book ($26) does have some additional recipes in it.
