I was sorely disappointed in this book. The recipes have been mutilated to make it acceptable to the general masses. There are a couple of recipes that are actually correct and authentic but some of it is not even Moroccan, it's Algerian or Tunisian. Which I guess is a little okay because they are still part of Al Maghreb anyway; They just should have titled the book differently. I hate when people write a book and don't do the reasearch to make sure they are accurate or at least visit the place. I thought it strange to see the flat bread and pita in the book, we no have that in Morocco. We eat the french bread, Spanish rolls, or Moroccan rye bread. America is the first place I see this pita bread before ( i do like this bread, it is just not from Morocco). I did give 3 stars because the pictures are beautiful, the steps are great and still for less than $2, the recipes are quite good and tasty. What more could I ask I guess, it is only a $2 book. But if you are looking for truly authentic Moroccan food and recipes, I recommend Paula Wolfert's "Couscous and other good food from Morocco". Masha'Allah, wonderful book! She capture the food of my country perfectly and adapted them so the recipes can be easily made in America! I still plan to give this book as gift anyway.

A wonderful little book- a bargain price, neat, easy-to-follow recpipes, (cooked 2 tonight!), easy to understand, nicely laid out, with prep time, cook time, etc....and some nice variations (can't find quinces? try pears....). A nice primer- with out havign to buy a 20 cookbook....this will keep my in Morrocan for quite awhile....

I would like to buy the rest in the series...
