THE FOOD OF MOROCCO - PAULA WOLFERT GEBUNDEN

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.
