This month, the Cookbook Guru’s feature cookbook is The Food of Morocco, by Paula Wolfert. Paula Wolfert is an acclaimed American cookbook author who specialises in Mediterranean cooking.
The Food of Morocco is her latest book. It is an expanded version of her 1973 book, Couscous and Other Good Food from Morocco, a book which is still in print after 40 years. If you have this book or can get it from your local library, why not join in? Just make a recipe from the book, write a post and then send a link to the post to Leah, alias the Cookbook Guru. Leah will then reblog your post on The Cookbook Guru site.
