The best cookbooks today are so much more than recipe books. They share with the reader a sensibility and a way of thinking about food. They're a reflection of the author, his or her past, culture, and lifetime of experiences. And that's why this cookbook - packed with heart, soul, and magnificent flavours and woven with stories of a childhood in a Marrakesh with the very modern life of a visionary L.A. chef - is destined to be considered among the best books of the decade.
