Morocco: A Culinary Journey with Recipes from the Spice-Scented Markets of Marrakech to the Date-Filled Oasis of Zagora Review: Surprisingly thorough cookbook of Moroccan classics - This book has a good overview of Moroccan foods, including the classic cooked vegetable salads (Tsatsouka, Zaalouk) and the carrot salad and beet salad you also see but aren't as frequently mentioned. It also includes a barley couscous--but the instructions for cooking the barley are not good; they refer to the couscous page, but imply only you are to boil the barley the way you boil couscous. There is also barley based couscous available but this is not discussed in the book. (The Moroccans grow barley in the more difficult regions to grow grain, and they prize it as a food as more suitable for diabetics. This was mentioned a lot in Morocco. There is barley bread and barley is served often, cooked up plain, as a grain.) The book also lists various dishes by region as Morocco has widely different areas, from seacoast to high mountainous regions and desert. The Harira Soup is also a bit odd in this version--no lentils, just chickpeas. This is a smooth, flour-thickened beef or lamb based soup that is the first thing people eat after the daily Ramadan fast, along with dates and a sweet honey and sesame cookie "chebakia." There is a lot in this book, including bread recipes, couscous, tagines, and desserts. It's a nice introduction to the amazing cuisine of Morocco, which they proudly claim is one of the five great cuisines of the world (along with Chinese, Italian, Indian and French.) The variety of spices and the amazing use of vegetables definitely puts this in the top of my book. Review: Love the veggie and soup recipes - I heard an interview of the author, Jeff Koehler, on the radio which peaked my interest in this book. While I am an omnivore, I particularly enjoy savory vegetables and soups. So I was taken with the fact that Mr. Koehler raved about the many delicious vegetable side dishes and soups that the Moroccans serve with their meals. I immediately ordered the book assuming that it would have many vegetable and soup recipes. Much to my disappointment, that is not the case. There are only a few recipes for these dishes. It is mostly meat based tangines and couscous. That said, I have made all of the vegetable and soup dishes and they are indeed delicious. Most of them flavored with some balance of cumin and paprika. Simple to make and pleasing to the eye. The Potato Fritters in the Street Food section are to die for. I swooned on first bite. That recipe alone made the purchase of this book worth it. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to approach this cuisine as a purist and explore the full array of authentic Moroccan dishes. He gives you everything you need to create a wonderful feast for your family and friends. As you can see, the cover of this book is beautiful and the food photography is excellent. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,092,987 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #41 in African Cooking, Food & Wine #231 in Mediterranean Cooking, Food & Wine | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (99) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 1 x 10.5 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0811877388 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0811877381 | | Item Weight | 2.3 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 224 pages | | Publication date | May 16, 2012 | | Publisher | Chronicle Books | | Reading age | 18 years and up | ## Images ![Morocco: A Culinary Journey with Recipes from the Spice-Scented Markets of Marrakech to the Date-Filled Oasis of Zagora - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51qVgMfQYXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly thorough cookbook of Moroccan classics *by J***. on May 9, 2015* This book has a good overview of Moroccan foods, including the classic cooked vegetable salads (Tsatsouka, Zaalouk) and the carrot salad and beet salad you also see but aren't as frequently mentioned.
