All in all, this book is a fantastic insight into the spanish and moorish cuisine offering recipes that are both simple to execute and a joy to eat and prepare. '

''The Moro' restaurant was born out of a desire to cook within the wonderful tradition of Mediterranean food, and to explore exotic flavours little known in the UK. Recipes are tasty and really easy to follow. In Moro~ The Cookbook, chefs Sam and Sam Clark have distilled the restaurant's most accomplished and delicious recipes, the dishes that have ensured its extraordinary success.

ooOoo~ MORO:THE COOKBOOK'The book is much more than a simple catalogue of recipes ~ Sam and Sam also communicate the romance and tradition inherent in each dish and their writing is informed by an intimate knowledge of long-established culinary and cultural traditions. It oozes character and is written and designed with palpable passion and insight. In a market saturated with impersonal restaurant cookbooks, this book has a refreshingly different feel. The Moro menu encompasses dishes that originated in Spain and dishes from the Muslim Mediterranean, two areas linked in history by the Moors' 700-year occupation of Spain.

If you found this review useful in any way I’d be super grateful if you clicked the “helpful” button below to let me know :) The book is highly commended for good reason. This book is an absolute wonder to use. Five stars.

There’s even a section detailing the best places to hunt for the best ingredients based on your location. It is one of the most talked about restaurants of recent years, of which Nigella Lawson said 'Moro is to Spanish food what the River Cafe is to Italian', and which in 1998 won both the Time Out and BBC Good Food awards for Best New Restaurant.

The books main focus is on recipes from Spain, North Africa and the Eastern Med. The 'READ SAMPLE' facility above gives an idea of the content. There are also elements of history and explanation on particular areas of cooking. The pictures throughout the book are excellent and make it great to look at.

the recipes are simple to follow and an emphasis is placed on quality ingredients. You'll become a better chef while using this at the same time as producing tasty meals.
