Title: A big fiasco
Product review: I bought this book with great expectations based on previous reviews available at amazon.com. The book seemed to ambition a blend of North african anthropology, personal memories and actual recipes. But the final product is a complete fiasco from each of the three points of view. Author seems to be more interested to impress readers with her hypothetical knowledge of international and Moroccan cousine than to actually encourage the practice of the various recipes. Some descriptions (for example preparation of the "warka") are pompous if not ludicrous and I doubt that anyone will use them. Neverending discussions on the many types of olives and their similarities with non-Moroccan counterparts are again a complete waste of time to read. In summary: a bad cookbook.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
