Capturing the atmosphere of Fez, cultural capital of the medieval Moorish world, Madame Guinaudeau takes us behind closed doors into the kitchens and dining rooms of the old city. She invites us to a banquet in a wealthy home, shopping in the spice market and to the potter's workshop; shares with us the secrets of preserving lemons for a tagine; shows us how to make perfect Moroccan bread. This is the ideal introduction to a mouth-watering culinary heritage and a vivid description of an ancient and beautiful city.

This review is from: Traditional Moroccan Cooking: Recipes from Fez (Serif) (Paperback)
This little book is great fro learning the language of Moroccan Cooking. Cook ware, spices, ingredients, and some great simple recipes - if you're cooking for 10 people. But, still, it's a nice place to start. It's not fancy with a bunch of beautiful color photos, but, it is a nice book to just read with a glass of mint tea in your hand.

Hidden food-writing jewel,

This review is from: Traditional Moroccan Cooking: Recipes from Fez (Serif) (Paperback)
Improbably, I found this book at the bookstore at the Moroccan Pavilion at Disney's Epcot Center, Florida.I feel that in terms of intellegence, authenticity, sense of place and time, and pleasurability of reading on par with great food classics such as Fisher's The Art of Eating. The best food writing and cookery books are written by wisest souls; I'd say you're in good hands here. I admit, I cannot comment on the results of following the recipes, having not yet tried them. I'd guess that for cooks experienced of sound technique enough context is given to reproduce dishes given, and the intellegent voice of the author gives me confidence that the recipies are as carefully relayed and credible as the text. As a window to a different world of flavors, ingredients, etc., e.g. the sense and sensibility of Moroccan cuisine, it is of the finest.
