Arto der Haroutunian takes adventurous cooks on a tour of the cuisines of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia & Libya in this comprehensive guide to North African food. There are over 300 recipes for traditional dishes such as tagines, stews, soups, & salads using classic ingredients such as fiery spices, jewel-like dried fruits, lemons, & armfuls of fresh herbs.

Vegetables are prepared in succulent & unusual ways while dishes such as chicken honey & onion couscous, & 'gazelle horns' filled with almonds, sugar & orange blossom water provide a feast for both the imagination & the palate. Tunisian cuisine is perhaps the hottest of the region-due in large part to the popularity of the fiery chilli paste, harissa. As well as a strong French influence, pasta is a passion in Tunisia. Morocco's great forte is its tagines & sauces-with meat & fish being cooked in one of four popular sauces. & Libya, although less gastronomically subtle than Tunisia & Morocco, excels in soups & patisserie. This collection represents the cooking of the region with refreshingly uncomplicated techniques, short lists of ingredients & the comforting, elemental flavours of various spices & seasonings.
