WERE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE
ou would never guess
that Copeland Marks, my
charming, immaculately
dressed dinner partner,
has roughed it in some of the
most remote corners of the world.
But this food historian and cook-
book writer par excellence de-
scribes his research methods as
"the honest way to learn and
preserve cultures which are
rapidly becoming endangered
species."
Mr. Marks believes that "to
discover the cuisine of a country,
you must become immersed in
the culture, not the politics."
This philosophy has led Mr.
Marks to a prolific culinary
career.
Self-described as "60ish," with
an energy and enthusiasm that
belies his thick silver hair, he is
scheduled to begin work on his
16th book. As with previous
books, the focus is on the food and
culture of such unconventional
places as Kashmir, Burma, In-
donesia and Korea.
Wherever he travels, this food
writer, fueled by a genuine in-
terest and curiosity, mingles and
talks with the people in the com-
munity. His latest book, The
Great Book of Couscous, is a rare
combination of history, food and
culture that will hold you spell-
bound through each page to the
last fascinating fact.

and pepper and saute over low

for 40 minutes. Should the soup
become too thick, add 1/2 cup
water and continue cooking for
the full time.

5 minutes more. Remove the pan
from the heat and add the
coriander. Serve warm.
Serves 6 to 8.

1 teaspoon white vinegar

hours to marinate before serving.

HARISSA SAUCE
(PARVE)
1 cup dried hot red chilies
1 cup garlic cloves

spoon of Harissa Sauce in a small
