A colorful cookbook, with good basic information about Moroccan food. Disappointing that there is little discussion about the tagine and few recipes devoted to this cooking method.

Well, the recipes are solid, but what grabbed me was the wonderful cultural information including gender cooking traditions. Nice photos

There are lots of pictures but not a lot of detail to execute the recipes. I don't need pictures, I need to learn to cook.

Seller was good - shipping was on time.

If you like periplus cookbooks and already own "the food of" version of this book, then reconsider buying this one. The new "authentic recipes from" series is just a rehash of the "food of series" with a few subtle changes such as relacing obscure recipes with more recognisable ones, bigger font and format, less on the history and some updated pictures.

Overall I kind of like the recipes in the new books more as there is less filler and odd recipes, but I do like the layout and format of the older hardcover "food of" books. So if you own "the food of" and want to get this book, be prepared to sell it off as you will only end up doubling up 90% of recipes between the 2.
