Food of Morocco

The Periplus Food of the World series combines great, authentic recipes with a virtual travelogue, as both prepared dishes and locations are featured in beautiful color photographs. This volume contains over 60 recipes that span the breadth of Moroccan cuisine. Some of the all-time favorites included in this book are authentic couscous, assorted tagines (slow-simmered stews), and mechoui (roast lamb Berber-style). Other recipes will show the home cook how to prepare such delicious Moroccan staples as chickpea salad, roasted eggplant salad, and Moroccan bread. Along the way, this book captures the full flavor of this historically rich land, a gateway to the East for European traders, to the West for North African merchants, and a land steeped in spices and exotic ingredients transported from all corners of the globe.
