Book Review: Tagine: Spicy Stews from Morocco
Summary: 4 Stars
We had some delicious meals from the recipes. We are looking forward to the next dinners.Book Review: Not completely what I expected
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a huge fan of Moroccan cooking, and I have spent a lot of time in Morocco learning how to cook the food. I was hoping that this book would fill in some of the more regional recipes, which it did. However, the "less traditional" recipes are what disappointed me. I tried one of the lamb recipes and it was good, but some of the recipes call for ingredients that would be extremely hard to find. Some could be found in gourment food shop, and some you would have to go to a specialty shop to find them. Almost all Moroccans rely on simple foods put out at the souq, and some of the ingredients were items that I have not seen in Morocco. I would even venture to call this Moroccan fusion, but if you are looking for typical Moroccan recipes, it has some, but not many.Book Review: Needs Improvement
Summary: 3 Stars
I just received this book, and am disappointed in it. First of all, it is smaller than I thought it would be. Secondly, I bought an expensive tagine to go with the recipes in this book for use in the oven, yet this book doesn't give instructions for oven use (not that I have found anyway). Third, most recipes call for lamb. Since I don't eat lamb I would like to substitute beef, pork, or chicken, but the book doesn't state if this would work. The beautiful pictures and interesting history of the food doesn't make up for the lack of useful information in my opinion.Book Review: That's it?

I can't attest to the quality of all the recipes but I can say there should be a lot more of them!
I tried one recipe and it turned out great...but I just wish there was more to the book.
Oh well.
Book Review: Hapless Buyer

Now, more than a month after placing the order, I have still not received the item. A review will have to wait
until the item arrives or my heirs have a chance at it in the event of my death.
