Average Rating:
 Rating:  - yum yumAt a time when the government are telling us to eat well and exercise and food is becoming more expensive local councils are taking the decision to bulldoze allotments. This book captured the community spirit of the place and encouraged me to plant some veg in my garden! The photos are great too. Already a fan of the restaurant and the previous books, this one did not diappoint. Brilliant book, vibrant recipes, especially the marinades! Rating:  - "A great Christmas present written by the husband and wife team of Moro".Famous for Spanish- and North African-style food, the couple have gone East - literally and metaphorically. A few years ago they `acquired' an allotment in London's East End and found, amongst fellow growers, Turks, Greeks and Cypriots.

And although I have yet to try many of the recipes from Moro East - i only just got it, give me a chance - I'm familiar enough with Sam Clark's recipe style to know that this is another winner. It's beautifully laid out, the recipes are easy to follow and, more importantly, inspire you to experiment and add your own ideas. |
