A collection of 445 exciting and approachable recipes celebrating North Africa’s vibrant and diverse food culture.

Meticulously researched and twenty years in the making, The North African Cookbook is the largest collection of traditional North African recipes for home cooks.

Focusing on the Maghreb region – Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya – The North African Cookbook explores the area’s immense culinary diversity and history. From Berber, Arab, and Ottoman influences, as well as French, Spanish, and Italian, this cookbook offers a comprehensive overview of how indigenous, as well as European colonialism, impacted the region’s traditions today.

A wide network of culinary voices from across North Africa guided the project. In such a large and diverse region, James Beard Award–winning food writer Jeff Koehler reached out to many hundreds of experts and locals. After two decades of travelling across North Africa, and a career spent writing in-depth about the region and its food, Koehler’s meticulously researched collection is an exhaustive look at traditional recipes throughout the Maghreb.

Filled with delicious and authentic North African dishes that can easily be recreated at home, this treasure trove of a book brings to life an exciting cuisine that is as varied and fascinating as the countries it covers.
