Inspires you to cook

Cookbooks seem to be the rage today. What used to be almost biblical - black text on white paper - has now transformed into stylish coffee table books that you wouldn't dream of bringing into an active kitchen. That's probably a good thing too; few of those recipes are very interesting or authentic. This book is very different. I still won't bring it into the kitchen, but I love to cook with it. The photography is beautiful and the recipes are excellent. Unique methods and ingredients are clearly described with substitutions for some of the more elusive kitchen gadgets or components. The recipes cover every meal and it should give you a good "taste" of North African cuisine.

Great variety!

This is a great cookbook. I'm so glad I bought it. It has a whole bunch of different couscous recipes, a number of moroccan tagines, appetizers that are quite yummy and salads. A variety of spices are used which lends itself to foods that have a nice depth of flavor. Each recipe has a brief intro that tells about the food and gives additional tips. Its a fun cookbook with great recipes. I highly recommend it!

Best of the Vegetarian Table series

This book covers some excellent Moroccan dishes, and is one of my favorite cookbooks. The Vegetarian Table is a terrific series of cookbooks for anyone who enjoys great food; including non-vegetarians.

Love it!!!!!

I'm a professional vegetarian chef and with out a doubt this ranks as probably my favorite "ethnic" cookbook, if not just one of my all time favorite cookbooks in general.

A Gorgeous Book of Exotic Recipes

This is quite simply a beautiful book of wonderful Moroccan recipes written by a Moroccan-born American. Kitty Morse was born in Casablanca and now is a food and travel writer living in Southern California. Kitty has been returning to her homeland yearly to lead tours-- most recently a chef's tour of her favorite Moroccan restaurants. This book includes traditional Moroccan recipes that have been tailored to allow preparation in an American kitchen. The photography by Deborah Jones is first rate. From cous-cous to harira soup, this book will help those who are not vegetarians realize they're not missing anything
