I attended a cooking class in San Antonio with the author, and received the book with the class. Perfect combination of stories, photos and recipes. The recipes she has selected (how did she ever decide!) are well-written, and easily accomplished without spending a fortune on specialty ingredients or investing hours of time (unlike a Paula Wolfert cookbook, which leaves me feeling defeated before I have begun).

This book has the recipe for the best lamb kabob ever. That alone is worth the price of admission, but the tagines! I was making them in my crock pot and if you are used to watery bland food out of a crock-pot, try these tagines! I am buying it again because I gave my copy to my mom who really enjoyed making focaccia. Basically a huge variety of well researched, flavorful foods.

this is a book for people who traveled and know how those foods look like. Once this done , it is a good and very complete book full of interesting tips and recipes simple to be done, that take you back to those places. And if you don't want to cook just use it as a travel journal and enjoy your rememberings.
