Publisher's Synopsis

Mo J. Asselman transports readers to a northern Moroccan city perched near the azure Mediterranean waters, where his grandmother's home hamlet is located.
Mo's upbringing is steeped in pride, hospitality, and a zest for life. Generous farmers and fishermen still share Earth and Sea's bounty, gifting fresh milk, eggs, carrots, and even live chickens. In this narrative, the author expertly writes about
- Refreshing salads,
- Hearty soups,
- Flavorful tajine stews,
- Variations of the famed couscous, and
- Marvels of grilling, roasting and steaming.
Mo's mother and grandmother wove magic with condiments and seasonings. While not a traditional cookbook, this work weaves flavorful tales and an insider's perspective, inviting readers to explore Moroccan cuisine's rich heritage.
From Carthaginian explorer Hanno's saffron-infused mutton to Avenzoar's ancient cookbook, the journey celebrates Morocco's culinary fusion-where Imazighen (Berber) traditions blend seamlessly with Middle Eastern and African influences.
