From the magnificent bisteeyas (enormous, delicate pies composed of tissue-thin, buttery layers of pastry and various fillings) to endless varieties of couscous, Paula Wolfert reveals not only the riches of the Moroccan kitchen but also the variety and flavor of the country itself. With its outstanding recipes, meticulous and loving research, and keen commitment to the traditions of its subject, this is one of the rare cookbooks that are as valuable for their good reading as for their inspired food. | | | Features: | |

 Still the QueenMay 19, 2010
Paula Wolfert is still the queen of Moroccan and other Mediterranean food books. The recipes, as always, are completely accurate, have full explanations and very interesting histories of the areas. This book is from the '70s, but still the most relevant one I've found.

Excellent and thorough study of Moroccan food from a true gourmetApr 22, 2010
Every review I'd read about Ms. Wolfert's book described it as a masterpiece of Moroccan food and culture and I've found that it certainly is. I bought the book after returning from Morocco along with another Moroccan cookbook. While Ms. Wolfert's book does not have the beautiful glossy color photos like the other book, she includes a wealth of information about the culture, history and people of Morocco as well as very detailed, delicious recipies. Each one I have tried has come out better than the vast majority of the food I actually ate in Morocco! A warning to those looking for fast, easy recipies, however. Ms. Wolfert is clearly a perfectionist and a purist and does not include many short cuts or substitutions, and Moroccan food is the original "slow food". If you crave authenticity, are willing to follow her recipies closely, and willing spend many hours preparing the dishes, you'll be handsomely rewarded.

 Great bookNov 01, 2009
I just got back from Morocco and thought the recipes in the cookbook were quite authentic.

 It's OK, but old and NO PICTURESSep 04, 2009
It's time to update this book with pictures and recipes that call for less than 4 chickens. Really!! Many recipes are designed to feed a crowd. It would be a lot easier to scale up a recipe (X2, or X4) than to scale down a recipe.
If I were doing it again, I'd get a different book.
Ooops! I guess you're not supposed to criticize Wolfert. I say, "The book is living on reputation." It's time to update it.

THE cookbook for Moroccan food.Aug 30, 2009
This is THE cookbook to have on Moroccan food. If you have space for only one, this is it. The recipes are well written and well researched. They are very accessible to the home cook. I have been using this book for about 20 years. I just finished catering a Moroccan event for over 100 people using Paula Wolfert's book as a guide (expanding the quantities, of course). There were several Moroccans in the crowd who LOVED the food. I served the HARIRA (lentil soup, traditionally served at Ramadan, the Muslim time of fasting between sunrise and sunset) to friend who is Moroccan and ran a Moroccan restaurant. It was during Ramadan. At his first taste, he literally swooned, his eyes rolled back in pleasure and he murmured something in Arabic that sounded like a prayer. As a result of the successes I've experienced with this book, I have purchased all the other Paula Wolfert cookbooks. She is my hero!
