This smartly designed culinary travel guidebook is never out of date. It opens up the world of Moroccan food to travelers, including students studying abroad, and tells how to find the most delicious, authentic, and adventuresome eating experiences there.
The author shares the secrets she's uncovered while hunting for something good to eat—from restaurant dining to home cooking to fresh market produce—to allow you to get to the heart of the culture through its cuisine. The book also includes recipes from some of the finest chefs in Morocco.
As you know, food is one of the first and most immediate contacts a traveler makes with a foreign country. Travelers to Morocco can make it a more memorable contact by taking along the easy-to-use Eat Smart in Morocco, one of the guides in the award-winning EAT SMART series. The authors show that traveling and eating in unfamiliar territory doesn’t have to be gastronomical guesswork.

"Wonderful and Evocative Eat Smart in Morocco is rich with detailed information and mouth-watering recipes, written with style and common sense. Packed with new information, this book makes good reading at home and is a valuable guide to Morocco as well." —Paula Wolfert, author of "Couscous and Other Good Food from Morocco"
“The latest addition to Joan Peterson’s superb series of ‘user friendly’ travel guides for the culinarily adventurous is Eat Smart In Morocco. It is as much fun to browse through as it is to cook from—or to plan a trip with. If you are planning a trip to this fabulous North African country, begin with reading this book.” —James Cox, Midwest Book Review
Berbers, Arabs, Andalusi Arabs and Jews, Europeans and the New World all contributed to making Moroccan cuisine one of the most interesting and exciting of the Middle East, and the visitor who is timid about what he eats in that country will miss some wonderful revelations. This information-packed guide begins with a brief history of the country that includes each group’s culinary contributions, then tours Morocco’s regions and their specialties, and continues with recipes, US mail-order sources for Moroccan ingredients, helpful phrases for use in restaurants and markets, a listing of menu items—with pronunciation guide and designations such as “national favorite” or “regional classic”—to make ordering easier, and a glossary of ingredients, utensil and cooking methods. This is not primarily a cookbook, but it is an indispensable resource; don’t leave home without it.” —Robert Arndt, Editor, Saudi Aramco World
