JAMES BEARD AWARD FINALIST • The New York Times bestselling collection of 130 easy, flavor-forward recipes from beloved chef Yotam Ottolenghi.
In Ottolenghi Simple, powerhouse author and chef Yotam Ottolenghi presents 130 streamlined recipes packed with his signature Middle Eastern–inspired flavors, all simple in at least (and often more than) one way: made in 30 minutes or less, with 10 or fewer ingredients, in a single pot, using pantry staples, or prepared ahead of time for brilliantly, deliciously simple meals. Brunch gets a make-over with Braised Eggs with Leeks and Za’atar; Cauliflower, Pomegranate, and Pistachio Salad refreshes the side-dish rotation; Lamb and Feta Meatballs bring ease to the weeknight table; and every sweet tooth is sure to be satisfied by the spectacular Fig and Thyme Clafoutis. With more than 130 photographs, this is elemental Ottolenghi for everyone.

This is the third Ottolenghi cookbook I have purchased. I have never been disappointed by any of them. I was attracted to this one for its simplicity and ease of preparation.This book is extremely well organized and user friendly. Recipes are categorized by type of food and classification of meal. These meals are rich in flavor, but quick and easy. Some ingredients might be unusual, but if you have a well balanced pantry and spice collection, you’ll be just fine.I love the use of acronym “SIMPLE” to code each recipe by its characteristics:S)hort on timeI)10 ingredients or lessM)ake aheadP)antryL)azyE)asier than you thinkOne or some of those letters will be listed at the beginning of each recipe to give you an overview of the dish’s characteristics.The first recipe I made was the “Spinach and Gorgonzola Stuffed Baked Potatoes” (photo attached). It was a big hit in my household. The recipe are not fussy. I did not have Gorgonzola, but the instructions said any blue cheese would do. I did not have large russets, so I used the small russets I had on hand.The book concludes with meal plans based on time of week, type of meal, nationality, and season of the year. After that, there is discussion on some of the more unique ingredients. Finally, there is a very well-structured index.Overall, I am very pleased with this book. I’ve reviewed it from cover to cover, and I know I will be using it for years to come. There are plenty of well-styled photos to entice. This book is definitely two thumbs up!
I got this cookbook as a gift and love it so much that I bought it for a gift for a friend. Everything we have made has been delicious and easy to make. Highly recommend this cookbook to anyone who likes to eat.
Just what a person needs to add some variety to cooking without adding crazy items to your pantry. Need to eat cleaner but I am easily bored and do not want recipes involving many ingredients or steps
very interesting recipes and easy instructions. Great pics also
This item would make a wonderful, thoughtful gift for my aunt, who seems to already have everything, but she loves the kitchen and exploring new culinary experiences. I plan to share this idea with others as a helpful suggestion for finding unique presents for similar individuals who appreciate quality and delicious food.
