This review is from: Moroccan Modern (Hardcover)

I love to cook and I am an avid cookbook collector. I was looking for a "modern" moroccan cookbook for a long time. Finally I found one. All the recipies are well-thought-out, simple and delicious. Chef/Author Hassan M'Souli combines the traditional Moroccan recipes with the the innovative and fresh perspective of Australian way of cooking. Great for entertaining and cooking for the family.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Hit at a Moroccan Dinner Party, August 27, 2006

This review is from: Moroccan Modern (Hardcover)

My course was dessert at a recent dinner and I found the recipe for Moroccan chocolate cake in this book. It was an amazing hit at the dinner party and one of the best desserts we have ever had at our gourmet dinners.

I love the recipes in this book and the accompanying full-page photos of what each recipe is to look like. The recipes are varied, and the ingredients can be found in my market. The book is not only a book recipes one might try to taste the cusine of Morocco, but a book of recipes one would use every day.

I have been into Moroccan cooking for a few years now. This recipe book is easy to follow, and most of the ingredients can be found in your local supermarket. He even tells your how to make some hard-to-get ingredients from scratch, such as preserved lemons, harissa and za'atar.

If you and your family love sweet and spicy moroccan food, this is the recipe book for you.
