Casa Moro

Author: Samuel Clark

In their first outing, The Moro Cookbook, Sam and Sam Clark--chef-owners of Moro, one of London's most talked-about restaurants--captivated readers with their passionate insights into the culinary traditions of Spain, North Africa, and the Eastern Mediterranean. Casa Moro, their second cookbook, is a very personal reflection on the Clarks' culinary influences. With its heady blend of Arabic and Hispanic dishes, the book evokes their early travels, their first discovery of Spain and Morocco, and the small village in the heart of Moorish Andalusia that has become their second home. The recipes range from infinitely variable mezzes and tapas to the slow-cooked meat stews and fresh salads of Morocco, but this is much more than a collection of recipes. Casa Moro is a culinary journey, resonating with history, tradition, and delectable dishes, and splendidly expanding and deepening our appreciation for these marvelous cuisines.

New York Times Book Review

"The Clarks look happy, their food seems so lusty and pure that you want to climb into the photos and dig in."

Food & Wine

[The Clarks] take the cuisine of Spain back to its Moorish roots for the ultimate ethnic historical dining. Sublime.

What People Are Saying

Nigella Lawson
...a wonderful book, a pleasure to read and a reward to cook from. As More–ish as it is Moorish.
