Incredible Cookbook for Food Lovers

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2016

I am obsessed with this cookbook. I love it so much that I bought two more copies for my best friends for Christmas. The recipes are healthy, fresh, unique and incredibly delicious. They aren't too hard to make if you're a moderately experienced cook. If you love interesting food and hate getting stuck in a flavor rut, this book with break your mold in an awesome way. The beet salad is to die for!

Best to throw this one out.

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2019

I do not believe that the reviewers who rated the book highly have tried to cook from it. I did. The recipes are unreliable, and nothing new.
The ingredient amounts are off, and the results are banal, at best. Ignore the hype. Buy Julia, or Madhur, or someone else.

Best (and healthiest) cookbook ever

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2019

I've purchased and used a lot of cookbooks over the years but found myself drifting away from them fairly quickly. This one, on the other hand, is constantly on my kitchen counter because I use it just about every other day. The recipes are fantastic and good for you and, best of all, the authors/chefs introduced me to new spices and combinations I'd never before considered. Love love love this book and have recommended it to many.

Can't get Enough of Otolenghi

Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2016

Yotam Ottolenghi puts together phenomenal cookbooks; his recipes are simple but elegant, using fresh vegetables (and in some cases meat) in new ways that adds a new spark to the ho hum vegetarian cookbooks that are out there.

He has won awards for his first cookbook "Jerusalem" and all three of his later books are equally as good and innovative in their recipes and simplicity.

Plus the book has a coating so it wipes clean after use - how awesome is that!!

First, I am an Ottolenghi fan. I love his restaurants, cookbooks and events at the Met Museum. Frankly, Ottolenghi is the best reason to go to London. This book is my go to of his. Recipes are excellent and easy. Can't get better than that.

Best. Cookbook. Ever.

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2015

Favorite. cookbook. ever. Every recipe comes out exactly as expected, which is delicious, and healthy to boot. It's so tempting to say I threw the recipe together myself when guests rave, but they wouldn't believe me. And I could never miss an opportunity to turn someone onto the genius that is Ottolenghi. Flavors are mediterranean. Common ingredients are pine nuts, cilantro, flat-leaf parsley, lemon, cinnamon, many other curious but savory combinations.

Insanely gourmet yet approachable.

While some recipes can get a bit simplistic, almost all inspire me to get in the kitchen. I have a long back log of recipes to try from this book. A friend looked through it before I gifted it to my mother and he only made it three pages before remarking that he'd have to buy himself a copy.

I bought this as a gift for someone, and she LOVES it. I've had a chance to try 4 or 5 recipes from the book and they are all amazing. If you are looking for a Middle Eastern/Iraeli cookbook, look no further than this one.

Fantastic, as are all of his books

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2014

I have been developing my palate toward Eastern Mediterranean cuisine. All of Ottolenghi's cook books are great and the food is fantastic. It is a nice way to get extra veggies into my diet without feeling like all I eat are salads and flavorless steamed veggies. Some of the ingredients may be hard to find but with some ingenuity, I'm sure you'll find something similar. Recommend it highly.

I love this book, and splurged purchasing this along with jerusalem and plenty more. Every recipe I've made out of these authors cookbooks are simply exquisite! Real food and so delicious. I made the sour cherry amaretti for a tea party the other day. They were the perfect dessert! Today I made the pistachio and rose meringues. You must get this book!!
