As a caterer, I was called on for vegetarian option on a regular basis this cookbooks has many tasty options.

[Scott Strumello · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is one of my favorite cookbooks ... not only is it the flavorful Moroccan and Algerian cuisine, but this book is entirely vegetarian. The author, Kitty Morse, also wrote a Moroccan cookbook that is regarded as one of the best on North African cuisine ever written, and she has a number of pungent tangines, appetizers and soups (all vegetarian) which are quite tasty. I also enjoy the entire series of the "Vegetarian Table", but this is in my opinion, the best in the entire series!
