Review
'There is no book on the food of Morocco as good as Paula Wolfert's. She is captivating and seductive as well as a brilliant guide to one of the great cuisines of the world' Claudia Roden 'Paula Wolfert is perhaps the single most influential cook and author among the professional chefs of my generation' Mario Batali

Product Description
In "The Food of Morocco", Paula Wolfert, the James Beard Hall of Fame author of the classic "Couscous and Other Good from Morocco" and the undisputed queen of Mediterranean cooking, brings to bear her unparalleled knowledge of, passion for, and deep commitment to the traditional foodways of Morocco in this definitive book on its cuisine. Drawing on the growing accessibility of once difficult to source ingredients and the increasingly sophisticated contemporary palate, Wolfert presents hundreds of tantalizing recipes from couscous to tagines and everything in between. Lavishly photographed in full color, it is a book of uncommon beauty that not only showcases Wolfert's spectacular recipes, but also enchantingly evokes Morocco in all its beauty and mystery, from Marrakech to Tangier. A labor of love over forty years in the making, "The Food of Morocco" is a once-in-a-lifetime book of uncommon scope and authenticity, a classic in the making that is an essential work for every serious cook, anyone interested in Moroccan cuisine, and discerning armchair travellers.

The Best Moroccan Cookbook Ever Written in English
11 Nov 2011
Format: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.

Retread of Earlier Book
1 Dec 2011
Format: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.

The Food of Morocco
25 Nov 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Another excellent cookbook from Paula Wolfert , loaded with information and recipes, and with even more information and recipes than her earlier Moroccan cookbooks.Both earlier Moroccan cookbook, and this latest one are happily residing on my cookery bookshelves next to other books by Paula Wolfert. There are so many delicious and wonderful recipes. This is a must have for the serious cook.
