Relaxed, flexible home cooking from Yotam Ottolenghi and his superteam.

Whether they're conjuring up new recipes or cooking for themselves at home, the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen team do what we all do: they raid their kitchens. But then, they turn whatever they find into approachable creations with an 'Ottolenghi' twist.

This instinct is in perfect sync with recent times, when we've all been standing in front of our kitchen shelves, our cupboards and our fridges, wondering what to cook with what we've got; how to put a can of chickpeas or a bag of frozen peas to good use, instead of taking an extra trip to the shops.

For the first time, the team welcome us into their creative space. These dishes pack all the punch and edge we expect from Ottolenghi, but offer more flexibility to make them our own, using what we've got to hand. There's the ultimate guide to creamy dreamy hummus, a one-pan route to confit tandoori chickpeas and a tomato salad that rules them all.

This book is all about feeding ourselves and our families with less stress and less fuss, but with all the 'wow' of an Ottolenghi meal. It's a notebook to scribble on and add to, to take its ethos and absolutely make it your own.

This is how to cook, the OTK way.

Product description

Review

"Every recipe offers full-on flavour: bold and vivid in the way we have come to recognise as distinctly Ottolenghian" --Nigella Lawson

Chock-full of tasty ideas, this lets readers reap the rewards of being resourceful --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

--This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

About the Author

The Ottolenghi Test Kitchen includes Yotam Ottolenghi, the seven-time New York Times bestselling cookbook author; Noor Murad, crowned the queen of Middle Eastern feasts; Verena Lochmuller, the human search engine to every baking question; Tara Wigley, the in-house word wizard; Chaya Pugh, who adds heaped spoonfuls of spicy personality to the brew; and Gitai Fisher, the man who keeps everyone in check while making sure they stay out of trouble.

Yotam Ottolenghi is the restaurateur and chef-patron of the four London-based Ottolenghi delis, as well as the NOPI and ROVI restaurants. His cookbooks have sold over seven million copies worldwide. Amongst several prizes, Ottolenghi Simple won the National Book Award and was selected as a best book of the year by the New York Times. Yotam is a weekly columnist for the Saturday Guardian and a regular contributor to the New York Times. His championing of vegetables, as well as ingredients once seen as exotic, has led to what some call the Ottolenghi effect: meals full of color, flavor, bounty, and sunshine. Yotam lives in London with his family.

Noor Murad is a Bahraini-born chef whose international work experience eventually brought her to the Ottolenghi family in 2016. She developed recipes for the books Falastin and Ottolenghi Flavor, as well as for Ottolenghi's MasterClass series and other online Ottolenghi publications. Her Bahraini roots have a strong influence on her cooking, with Arabic, Persian, and Indian flavors making a prominent appearance in her recipes. --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

Very very disappointing

Reviewed in Australia on 1 October 2021

Verified Purchase

Having purchased several other Ottolenghi books I have to say I was expecting so much more than this book offered.

Going through the book I was hard pressed to find ANYTHING that looked remotely inspiring to consider making. Many of the recipes I found to be decidedly off-putting. The one and only recipe of interest was a recipe for Toum (garlic dip) - but I've collected this recipe already from elsewhere. Hardly original.

Overall this book I find to be very disappointing and decidedly unappetising.

The book itself is nicely constructed - that's where my 1 star rating goes.

As usual a fabulous book from Yotam Ottolenghi.

Reviewed in Australia on 6 October 2021

However, the book I received was a would call a "second". The inside foldable page was badly creased and folded badly. The biggest problem though was the entire section that was repeated in the book. Pages 48 to 63 were completely duplicated! I thought I was going crazy as I sat with my cup of tea happily reading my new cookbook. I re read the exact same recipes. My husband came and had a look and confirmed that an entire section had been duplicated and placed in the stitching. Luckily as it was a complete stitched section, with the use of a very sharp craft knife we very, very careful cutout the duplicated section from the stitching.
My friend had purchased the book too and I rang her to compare. She had no such duplication and her front page was perfect.
So sad but the recipes make up for the quality of the binding process. Did Amazon send me a "second" quality book??

If you are not into garlic you are going to find it hard to find a recipe in this collection.

Reviewed in Australia on 18 October 2021

I have most of the Ottolenghi books. Simple is my favourite. This collection of recipes just doesn't do it for me. I can't find more than one or two that interest me. I know I can lose the garlic from the ingredients but does nearly every recipe need to have it? Leave the garlic out and let the other spices be the heroes.

Should have called it ‘expensive and arduous plates of mush’

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 October 2021

Verified Purchase

I love Ottolenghi recipe books and don’t mind the harder ones - but when I read that this one was like SIMPLE, I ordered immediately for weeknight meals. I’ve flicked through several times now but these recipes aren’t exactly ‘store cupboard’ as suggested and call for all sorts of bizarre ingredients that aren’t in previous books, the lists of ingredients span the whole page, and some of the cooking times are hours long? As always the pictures are nice, but I’m not really motivated to cook any of it because they all just look like (expensive and arduous) plates of mush. The quickest ones take an hour to cook, and most of them are 2 hours, some even longer. It’s a lot of effort for what is essentially a dip. The book does have a useful-looking contents page which is designed to help you use up random ingredients from the cupboard (i.e. Tahini) but when you flick to the recipe, you’ll find that in order to cook it, you need a bunch of other random ingredients that you probably won’t just have lying about. I can see about 4 recipes out of the whole book that I could potentially be bothered to cook - and which look substantial enough for a meal - but I just don’t feel as enthusiastic about them as I have been with previous Ottolenghi books. Can’t see this book coming back off the shelf to be honest.

A cooks perspective on running a larder.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 September 2021

Verified Purchase

This is a different take on a recipe book, very much approaching it from the perspective of what do I have in the larder, freezer, fridge etc. This is evidenced straight away by having a fold out leaf inside the front cover which shows you which ingredients appear in in recipes and relevant pages, this has been further split into common themes, like tins and jars, pulses and grains etc. This will be extremely useful when you find a rogue ingredient in the cupboard which needs using, rather than chucking! There is another fold out flap at the back detailing the veggie, vegan, child friendly and even meal suggestions, which will be very useful

I really liked the different chapters and have to say I want to try everything in the “who does the dishes” section, which is based around one pot cooking.

As ever there are tips I never knew, and this time on hummus, which I thought I had the definitive take….not so, some really good tips on how to make and what should differ when making from tinned vs dried.

Recipes I want to try ASAP:
Creamy dreamy hummus (tempted to make both ways tinned vs dried to do a comparison)
Confit tandoori chickpeas
Zatar salmon and tahini
Fig and orange soda bread
Beef short ribs with butter beans and figs

I will edit this review when I have tried some of the recipes
Just tried the sticky sweet and sour plums with sausages (one pot cooking only 2 steps) big success! The gravy/sauce is created in the bottom of the pan as it cooks. We had with rocket salad and pomegranate seeds delicious.
The sweet spiced mushroom and rice pilaf is excellent, this has been requested again for dinner, which is always a good sign. We added brie to the serving of this, sliced on top and therefore slightly oozy from the heat…really nice

Very random selection of recipes that are not begging to be cooked, and a lot of mush.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 October 2021

Verified Purchase

Usually love Ottolenghi recipes, but I have to agree with some of the reviews on here. There is a lot of mush. Which is fine, but frankly I have been there, done that when weaning babies. And I want to continue eating solid food for as long as my teeth allow me to. I suspect the food stylist struggled with this book. How can you make a Mac&Cheese look sexy, even when it has 16 ingredients? The concept is nice; use up store cupboard things, but in practice it seems like a lazy excuse to publish a book under the brand. And there seems to be no general theme. One page has a random oatmeal cookie recipe, another some defrosted frozen berries mixed with bread or cream, another a Cobb salad. It's like someone said "okay, we have 200 or so pages to fill." I'm generally desperate to start chopping and cooking from a new cookbook straight away, but I have to admit that I am just not motivated to try recipes from this book. (I tried the Charred tomatoes with feta and pine nuts, which was nice, and intend to try the sesame crusted feta at some point. I feel like I *should* try the couscous cake, but am worried that it looks like a lot of effort for what looks like a squidgy brown nutless nut roast.) If you are new to Ottolenghi, purchase the wonderful Flavour or Simple instead. Or in fact, any of his other books.

Honestly life changing and such a refreshing take on cook books!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 October 2021

Verified Purchase

This isn’t your average cookbook; this is witty, charming and so fun to read - even outside the kitchen! The pictures are vibrant and the dishes are mouthwatering. Noor’s recipes are unique and downright tasty, and her book has been the best thing to come out of this pandemic. The concept of using what’s in your pantry (because weren’t we all stuck in lockdown at some point?) is absolutely genius. She has truly elevated your average vegetable casserole and transformed cooking for the average and not so average Joe into something phenomenal. As someone who’s tried her food first hand I am so excited to start cooking every single recipe in this beautiful book.
This book belongs in every kitchen and household.

Well designed book, inspires your creativity beyond the recipe

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 October 2021

Verified Purchase

This version is excellently designed. For kitchen use you can keep the page open and it’ll not fold over. There’s an excellent menu maker designed for the main guests you’ll have. The string in binding helps you not lose your place. There’s also ,make it you own’ suggestions which mean you can deviate from the recipe based on what’s in the book. This is excellent as it makes it personalised to you. It gives margin to deviate and experiment. Most books are prescriptive (based on ratios). This books leans you outside this ,do it or your recipe will die’ mentality. It gives a budding chef ideas to be more creative. Ottolenghis kitchen concept is brilliant, it focuses on creativity in the kitchen. Buy it, and it’ll set you free
