After living with a host family in Rabat, I got to experience the madaq, or flavor, of the coastal city: chermoula fried sardine sandwiches, cups of soothing harira, and of course, mountains of couscous every Friday (lucky me). Benkabbou, a \n\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e contributor, chef, and restaurant consultant, has dedicated her sophomore title to the simple dishes she grew up with as the daughter of Moroccan immigrants living in Brussels. You'll find an abundance of ways Benkabbou invites you in to find the right recipe: one-pot wonders, batch cooking, even ideas for picky eaters. I made Garlic Butter and Cheese Flatbreads: m'semen, stuffed with herbs, mozzarella, and cheddar. Wonderful hot off the griddle. I also tried her sheet-pan version of a chicken and grape tagine with chickpeas and thyme. After a spell in the oven, I was left with crispy skin, blistered fruit, and a schmaltzy sauce that would've been divine over grains.\" \n\u003cbr\u003e-- Nina Moskowitz, \n\u003ci\u003eBon Appetit\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Madaq means \"flavor\" in Moroccan Arabic, and author Nargisse Benkabbou, the daughter of Moroccan immigrants, is particularly adept at translating the flavors of her family's home country into recipes that feel approachable for Western kitchens.
