not what I expected . I had hoped for it to be crammed with middle eastern recipes and food like in the Deli - but almost 50% of the book was baking and pastires. Not for me . I shall give it away

And You May Find Yourself

An excellent, imaginative cookbook

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 November 2016

Verified Purchase

An excellent, imaginative cookbook, especially for cooking with vegetables. My main criticism is that many of the recipes require a long list of ingredients that the home cook won't necessarily have on hand and can't easily procure on a weekday at home. Home cooking should not be that much of a production.

But I'm mainly taking off a star because of the hard-copy book itself. Evidently, cookbook publishers have decided that we now only buy their products to admire photos,and then put them back on our coffee tables. They've forgotten that cookbooks are supposed to be instruction manuals, of use in the kitchen. Yet they continue to publish books in such large form that they cannot fit into any kitchen shelving. Well, many of us buy these books to cook from and while we appreciate the photos we would also appreciate publishers to give some thought to practicality. tifact.Otherwise we might as well just bring our laptops into our kitchen and look for recipes there. I'm tired of 'beautiful' books I have a hard time using.

Not what I expected

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 August 2019

I have enjoyed sitting reading this and have used some recipes but it feels a bit like it is written for Brits. I was expecting it to be further away from what I usually cook with authentic ingredients but it isn't really. Potatoes with horseradish and semolina tart are not what I expected at all= nice but strangely not what I wanted it to be.

A must for any kitchen

This is different from any other cook book we have with amazing recipes that are mostly healthy. A must for every kitchen. If you’ve ever wondered how to get great flavour from simple ingredient combination then look no further.

Excellent recipes, great explanations

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 November 2017

Excellent recipes, great explanations, delicious dishes
We tried sweet potato dauphinois, glazed roasted carrots and peas, and brownie for our first feast. All were really excellent. Requires some preparation, not 15 minute meals
Covers all courses with creative combinations

Useful and interesting

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 March 2019

One of Ottolenghi's earlier cookbooks but none the less interesting for tht. This book has an excellent range of recipes, including some of the iconic Ottolenghi bakes. Straightforward instructions and clear lists of ingredients. Although some items appear to have a longish list of ingredients they are mostly easily available and set out in such a way to ensure succesful cooking. Highly recommended.

Love Ottolenghi

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 October 2015

I liked this book, though I don't use it as often as Plenty, which I think is his best. If you're a meat eater this book will be great, but I'm not, so I prefer Plenty. He does make all his recipes interesting and they do work and I would recommend his books to anyone who likes a new and exciting flavour experience. Everything he creates tastes new and original.

Best cookbook EVER!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 October 2020

Verified Purchase

I have many cookbooks but this one is the one that I keep coming back to again and again. I absolutely love this book! The dishes are super tasty and relatively easy to make - I have yet to try something that I didn't like! His 'Simple' book is also fantastic!
