Moro the Cookbook

The Moro menu encompasses dishes that originated in Spain and dishes from the Muslim Mediterranean, two areas linked in history by the Moors' 700-year occupation of Spain. The book is much more than a simple catalogue of recipes—the chefs also communicate the romance and tradition inherent in each dish and their writing is informed by an intimate knowledge of long-established culinary and cultural traditions. In a market saturated with impersonal restaurant cookbooks, this book has a refreshingly different feel. It oozes character and is written and designed with palpable passion and insight.

Samuel and Samantha Clark are husband and wife who have both cooked at leading restaurants such as The River Café. Sharing a passion for the Moorish regions, they opened Moro in London in 1997. The restaurant has enjoyed unequalled reviews and accolades.
