Ottolenghi Simple

A gem of a book. It keeps getting better!

good for beginner cookers

Excellent book! Looking forward to try so many recipes! One negative point regarding delivery: item was shipped in a plastic bag and book corners were damaged!

Many of the recipes follow a very similar flavour profile and taste quite samey. It’s mostly a vegetable cookbook and the meat section leaves a lot to be desired. Simple is also deceptive as all the dishes I’ve tried so far have required numerous pieces of apparatus, and necessitated a lot of washing up. I don’t understand the hype to be very honest.
