This recipe book has served as my cooking school and textbook during the past six years since its first publication in 1997. After many hours in the kitchen I can honestly say it still remains my favourite recipe book. It is a modern version of its predecessor: “Great Dishes of the World”, which served as standard encyclopaedia of world famous dishes for many years. The philosophy behind “new Great Dishes” is stated in the introduction: “there is a new simplicity … that does away with disguises, complex sauces and elaborate combinations of ingredients and lets the essential qualities of the food shine through”. The first chapter is about the “new basics”, how to preserve lemons, roast ... Read More:

Robert Carrier's enthusiasm for Spanish cookery is infectious and the book is liberally scattered with mouth watering photographs. Carrier clearly has a deep respect not only for traditional Spanish cuisine but also the new wave of chefs who combine traditional values with a modern approach such as Juan Mari Arzak the celebrated San Sebastian restaurater This book is a godsend to aficionados of Spanish cuisine given the paucity of English language cookery books currently available. The one drawback is that some of the recipes are somewhat inaccurate in places and a measure of experience is required to interpret the instructions correctly.

A simple plea to publishers.... I regard this as a great cookery book primarily because it's one that I cook from again and again. What that means in practice is that I need a copy that will stay open without being held open and which is well-produced enough not to get wrecked by spillages and ingredients flying around the kitchen. A paperback will not cut it. If publishers are in any doubt as to whether there's a market, just look at how much used hardback copies are going for.

This book is the nearest i have found to the Moroccan cooking i have experianced when in Morocco with my husband's family. It is well presented and photographed infact i have bought a second copy so that i always have it at hand, my original is worn and splattered from the numerous times i have used it. If you want to cook authentic Moroccan meals and sweets you must buy this book.
