Mourad: New Moroccan

Mourad: New Moroccan

<DIV><I>A soulful chef creates his first masterpiece</I><br><br>What Mourad Lahlou has developed over the last decade and a half at his Michelin-starred San Francisco restaurant is nothing less than a new, modern Moroccan cuisine, inspired by memories, steeped in colorful stories, and informed by the tireless exploration of his curious mind. His book is anything but a dutifully €œauthentic€ documentation of Moroccan home cooking. Yes, the great classics are all here€•the basteeya, the couscous, the preserved lemons, and much more. But Mourad adapts them in stunningly creative ways that take a Moroccan idea to a whole new place. The 100-plus recipes, lavishly illustrated with food and location photography, and terrifically engaging text offer a rare blend of heat, heart, and palate.</DIV>
