In their first outing, The Moro Cookbook, Samuel and Samantha Clarkchef-owners of Moro, one of London’s most talked-about restaurantscaptivated 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.
