' We want you to be able to use chermoula as readily as pesto, to be as comfortable with tagines as with casseroles. We want spices such as sumac & saffron to become as much a part of your repertoire as basil & rosemary.' Greg & Lucy Malouf have compiled this collection of mouth-watering recipes inspired by the exciting flavours of North Africa, Spain, the Eastern Mediterranean & the Middle East
- regions united by a common thread that winds its way back to Arabia. Moorish begins with recipes for spice blends, dressings, relishes, pickles & preserves that best define the cuisine. With these basics in your pantry & refrigerator, you'll be able to transform the most mundane ingredients into deliciously different Moorish snacks & soups; meat, vegetable & poultry dishes; & irresistible cakes & desserts. Toss preserved lemon through risotto, or spice up a Sunday lamb roast with a baharat spice mix. For dessert, make a delectable mango tart flavoured with orange-blossom water or liven up weekend breakfast with hot lemon fritters & cinnamon sugar. Beautifully illustrated & written in Lucy's engaging style, Moorish is, above all, a passionate celebration of flavour that will inspire & delight the adventurous home cook.
