The Moorish Box

We took some inspiration from four of our favorite cookbooks to create a box of Moorish influence — Sam & Sam Clark’s Moro Cookbook, Claudia Roden’s classic A New Book of Middle Eastern Food, and two of Ottolenghi’s beautiful books: Jerusalem and Plenty. Inspired by the cuisine of North Africa, Spain, and the Middle East, this meal plan celebrates the Mediterranean flavors that grow so well in California, and are cozy and rustic too. We hope you enjoy these flavors as much as we do — and we are featuring locally made Harissa paste, to help really set the scene.
