Tastes of North Africa by Sarah Woodward
The tastes of North Africa represent one of the world's most exotic and tantalising cuisines. Having assimilated the influences of many regional cuisines, they encapsulate a rich cultural infusion. When the Moors conquered the lands around the Mediterranean over a thousand years ago, they brought with them foods that were to fashion western cooking for years to come. Spices from the caravan trade, rice from India, citrus fruit, aubergines, spinach and sugar cane were all introduced to Spain, Portugal, Sicily and Provence by the Arab invaders. In turn, when later expelled from their beloved Al-Andaluz, they took back to Morroco the culinary lessons the Iberian peninsula had taught them and maintained close links across the Gibraltar Straits, trading in tomatoes and peppers from Columbus' travels in the New World. Sarah Woodward is a fascinating guide to this culinary map, showing you how to combine vegetables, fruits, meats, nuts and spices and taste each dish as a delicious and intriguing slice of history.
Sarah Woodward first visited Morocco over twenty years ago and has been in love with the country's cooking ever since. She is a regular contributor to Conde Nast Traveller, Waitrose Food Illustrated, The Times and House and Garden and her books include The Classic Mediterranean Cookbook, Simply Different and Fresh from the Market. With her travel writer husband, Sarah has journeyed all over the world, collecting recipes along the way.
