Presents a collection of recipes for traditional Moroccan dishes, and provides information about the culinary customs of the country, the rituals of the Moroccan table, and the techniques, ingredients, and equipment of Moroccan cooking.

A soulful chef creates his first masterpiece What Mourad Lahlou has developed over the last decade and a half at his Michelin-starred San Francisco restaurant is nothing less than a new, modern Moroccan cuisine, inspired by memories, steeped in colorful stories, and informed by the tireless exploration of his curious mind. His book is anything but a dutifully “authentic” documentation of Moroccan home cooking. Yes, the great classics are all here—the basteeya, the couscous, the preserved lemons, and much more. But Mourad adapts them in stunningly creative ways that take a Moroccan idea to a whole new place. The 100-plus recipes, lavishly illustrated with food and location photography, and terrifically engaging text offer a rare blend of heat, heart, and palate.

Moroccan cuisine blends African, Arabian, and European influences to make some of the most exotic food in the world. Many of the 75 featured dishes in this cookbook are the same offered at Moroccan bistros. Color photos.
