Best Moroccan Cookbook Out There
I've searched for quite a while for a really great Moroccan cookbook, and this is the best one I've found yet. There is a good variety here of courses as well as meats/fish used, and a good number of tagines. The recipes are not overly complicated, and do not feature a lot of hard-to-find ingredients. The pictures are beautiful and browsing through the book is a pleasure as well as cooking from it. If you are looking for a Moroccan cookbook look no further.
