Book news: Morito publishes its first cookbook

“we’re hoping that the book matches the consistently wonderful experience served up by restaurant manager Hugo and his team.”

We’re delighted to announce that a new recipe book from the Bookwormlets favourite chefs, Morito by Samuel and Samantha Clark.

Morito is the sister restaurant of the incredible Moro restaurant. It has been serving delicious and innovative tapas and mezze in the heart of London’s Exmouth Market for over three years.

There have been three Moro cookbooks published to date: The Moro Cookbook, Casa Moro and Moro East, with combined sales of 300,000.

We’re yet to see a copy, but we have dined in Morito many times. The food is exceptional and the service is friendly – we’re hoping that the book matches the consistently wonderful experience served up by restaurant manager Hugo and his team.

We attended a Sherry taster evening recently and learned that classic fish and chips is best served with a cold, dry Fino. Some of the best food and drink pairing advice ever given.

With recipes such as red prawns with avocado mojo, black rice with cuttlefish and preserved lemon, octopus with tomatoes and arak and beetroot borani with feta and dill this book is a must-have addition to our shelves.

Morito by Sam and Sam Clark will be published by Ebury Press May 1st 2014 and is available for pre-order from all bookstores and online.

Book review: Moro by Sam and Sam Clark

“If I could only have one cookbook on my shelf, this is the one I’d choose.”

Moro – The cookbook by Sam and Sam Clark epitomises all that is joyful and great about cooking and food.

It was originally published in 2001 and, unlike many cookery books, the recipes have not dated and still stand up more than a decade on.

This is a must-have book for anyone who loves Spanish or Middle Eastern food. The two Sams have taken their most famous recipes from their eponymous London restaurant Moro and have shared them with the world.

Far from being the type of book that only comes out for special occasions, we frequently cook midweek meals from it such as the delicious pork and spinach paella dish, the silky and fragrant cardamon and rosewater ice cream and their magnificent tortilla which transforms food cupboard staples of eggs, onions and spuds into a heavenly meal.

If you’ve ever eaten at Moro, you’ll understand just how much the Clarks love their food. This is definitely a recipe book for foodies but also a must-have if you are looking to widen your culinary repertoire to include simple Spanish and Moorish dishes, tapas and deserts.

I can’t praise it highly enough. If I could only have one cookbook on my shelf, this is the one I’d choose.
