Berber Couscous with Seven Vegetables from The New Book of Middle Eastern Food

Berber Couscous with Seven Vegetables from The New Book of Middle Eastern Food

This past weekend, a dear friend from Florida came to visit and spun tales about the huge lemon harvest her family was enjoying in warmer climes. This led to a discussion of lemon recipes, including old favorites like key lime pie and lemon curd to new discoveries, like Moroccan preserved lemons.

The latter reminded me of Claudia Roden’s classic cookbook, the Book of Middle Eastern Food, which was updated and greatly enlarged in the release of her New Book of Middle Eastern Food. This cookbook is a field guide of all the best foods the countries of the Midlde East have to offer, including a recipe for the famous Moroccan couscous—click through to view it.

Ricotta Gnudi with Chanterelles from The Mozza Cookbook

Ricotta Gnudi with Chanterelles from The Mozza Cookbook

A traditional Italian meal is one of the most comforting—and delicious—things that anyone can enjoy. Award-winning chef Nancy Silverton has elevated that experience to a whole new level at her Los Angeles restaurants Osteria Mozza and Pizzeria Mozza. I had the good fortune of trying the pasta tasting menu at Osteria Mozza last month, and I left the restaurant dying to recreate the dinner at home.

While the recipes for the pastas I enjoyed at Osteria Mozza require the full cookbook—reliant as they are on sub-recipes for making pasta and sauces from scratch—I’d like to share with you a recipe from The Mozza Cookbook for ricotta gnudi with chanterelles. It’s the perfect season for the mushroom’s woodsy, earthy flavor. Click through for the recipe.
