A definitive guide to Moroccan cooking from a James Beard Award–winning author.

"A cookbook by Paula Wolfert is cause for celebration. Ms. Wolfert may be America's most knowledgeable food person and her books are full of insight, passion and brilliance." —Anthony Dias Blue, CBS Radio, New York

"I think she's one of the finest and most influential food writers in this country . . . one of the leading lights in contemporary gastronomy." —Craig Claiborne

Paula Wolfert's name is synonymous with revealing the riches of authentic Mediterranean cooking, especially the cuisine of Morocco. In The Food of Morocco, she brings to bear more than forty years of experience of, love of, and original research on the traditional foodways of that country. The result is the definitive book on Moroccan cuisine, from tender Berber skillet bread to spiced harira (the classic soup made with lentils and chickpeas), from chicken with tangy preserved lemon and olives to steamed sweet and savory breast of lamb stuffed with couscous and dates. The recipes are clear and inviting and infused with the author's unparalleled knowledge of this delicious food. Essays illuminate the essential elements of Moroccan flavor and emphasize the accessibility of once hard-to-find ingredients such as saffron, argan oil, and Moroccan cumin seed.

Lavishly photographed in full color, The Food of Morocco not only showcases Wolfert's tantalizing recipes but also evokes Morocco in all its timeless splendor and mystery: its markets with their lush produce, its dazzling textiles and intricate mosaic tiles, its communal ovens and ancient souks, and of course its people, from Marrakech to Tangier. A labor of love four decades in the making, The Food of Morocco is a once-in-a-lifetime book of uncommon scope and authenticity, an essential work for every serious cook, anyone interested in Moroccan cuisine, and discerning armchair travelers alike.

    Ein wirklich tolles Buch! Ich habe Freunde in Marokko die begnadete Köchinnen sind und noch nach Familienrezepten kochen, bin oft dort, daher kenn ich mich etwas aus… das Buch hat sehr authentische Rezepte, aber gibt auch Background Infos. Das Buch ist außerdem wirklich schön gemacht, tolle Haptik und schöne Bilder sind noch das i-Tüpfelchen.
    Es ist bis jetzt das beste Buch, das ich über die Marokkanische Küche gefunden habe. Man will sofort einkaufen gehen und zum Kochen beginnen! Die Marokkanische Küche ist so ungemein vielfältig, das Buch gibt einen guten Überblick. A must buy if you love the moroccan cuisine!

    La prima volta che ho sentito parlare di "The Food of Morocco" mi sono fatto l'idea di un grande classico edito qualche decennio fa, quando la Roden pubblicava i suoi primi libri sulla cucina dei Paesi che si affacciano sul Mediterraneo e sulla cucina Mediorientale, nella scia di quel nuovo e ben documentato interesse "orientalista" e nordafricano.
    In realtà Paula Wolfert (1938) pur essendo una coetanea della Roden ha pubblicato questo suo lavoro solo nel 2012; ma il libro si è imposto subito sul mercato editoriale internazionale con la forza e l'autorevolezza del testo indispensabile e imperdibile.
    Non si tratta, però, del bestseller gonfiato da una mareggiata di isterismo collettivo sospinto da qualche trasmissione televisiva o da un altro vento mediatico, ma di quel magnetismo tipico del libro oggetto, del libro da sfogliare, che si conquista con autosufficienza il proprio spazio e i propri lettori. Mai uso della carta e del colore è stato così ben speso nell'editoria gastronomica, perché questo alla fine è un gran capolavoro, uno di quelli che attraggono gli appassionati come il miele gli orsi, ma che sono capaci di lasciare di sasso anche un lettore distratto o indifferente.
    I suoi punti di forza sono indubbiamente l'impatto visivo e la qualità letteraria; le fotografie sono utilizzate come inserto decorativo, come foto del piatto a piena pagina, come documento della vita quotidiana e, infine, per la loro qualità onirica, sognante. Alcuni passaggi delle ricette sono illustrati da disegni in bianco e nero sui margini laterali (ampi, questi ultimi, in modo tale da centrare sempre il testo), ma l'impressione che se ne ricava sfogliando le pagine a caso è di una uniformità di colore e di note bruno-terra-sabbia-ocra.
    Le ricette sono introdotte da breve premessa, quindi illustrate in passaggi-periodi numerati e, quando è necessario, da note a margine. La materia è divisa nei capitoli seguenti:
    Essentials
    Salads
    Bread and Pastries
    Eggs, Butter, Buttermilk, Cheese
    Soups
    Couscous
    Fish
    Poultry
    Meats
    Beans and Vegetables
    Desserts
    Drinks
    Per dare solo un'idea, Essentials comprende Maroccan Tagines (una pagina e mezzo di testo sull'uso della tagine), Preserved lemons (ricetta), Olives (tipologie marocchine), Amlou (dip fantastico con mandole tostate e olio di Argan), Spices and Spices Mixtures, Ras El Hanout, La Kama Spice Mixture, Harissa Sauce, Herbs and Aromatics, Tomato Magic (un concentrato ricetta personale dell'autrice), Honey and Fragrant Waters, Maroccan Preserved Meat, Express Meat Confit (altra ricetta personale), Ten Tips for Preparing Maroccan Food. Come si può notare, quindi, si tratta sempre di ricette messe alla prova dall'autrice, mai di un semplice registro.
    Eccezionale, tra gli altri, il capitolo sui pani.
    Il libro si conclude con Bibliografia e Indice; la versione da me acquistata è quella da 518 pagine. con copertina rigida, 22x27,3cm, 33€.
