Review: Ottolenghi scores big with "Ottolenghi" - My admiration for this author/chef knows no limits. Really. I've been cooking out of Ottolenghi's "Plenty" cookbook for the past year or so at least twice a week and it's changed the family's eating habits and appreciation of good taste astronomically. So when this newly published cookbook (from the restaurant menu) was published in the U.S., I was interested. At the same time, I wondered how the newbie could improve and/or expand on the author's two previous (and terrific) books. I shouldn't have been the least bit skeptical. "Ottolenghi" is even better than its predecessors and chock-a-block full of great new food. I come to this opinion from the perspective of someone who cooks almost exclusively vegetarian dishes. "Ottolenghi" is about two-thirds non-meat in content. Lots of terrific new vegetable entrees and sides, with the usual emphasis on freshness, herbs, nuts and Middle East/Mediterranean spices. What's really new in the author's approach in this cookbook is a generous section on desserts (most of them adaptations of classics) and many recipes for sauces that can be used with a lot of different entrees or as dips, spreads, etc. I'm just getting started in using this new book--and in fact started with dessert! How does chocolate chestnut bar sound? A kind of exotic brownie, but richer and creamier than the traditional approach. Killer taste. The same chapter includes a fine recipe for a more traditional brownie, but clearly better, judging from the ingredients. I'm a total fan of this guy and his books and have been giving them as gifts for the past year. I even gave one to a Moroccan friend who is a wonderful cook, but who became an instant admirer and regular user of Ottolengthi's "Plenty". So get the new one or at least one of the earlier books--it/they will change your life. Review: THESE ARE FANTASTIC! - What isn't there to like, love and eat to your hearts content! My new cookbook purchases began as a quest to help my husband with his gout. I stumbled onto grains and fell in love. I've always loved grains, these unique taste and feel in my palate. I'm a darn good cook or I never would have ventured the purchase of this and the O Jeruselem! (yesh, one would think I'd spell it correctly.) cookbook. BUT, I wish the authors, whom I adore and love reading the beautiful history of where and how these receipes originated would cover the absolute need to have excellent cookware. My pots and pans suck to put it mildly. Both my children are excellent cooks and I called to see what they are using; boy what a lesson I got. So, I'm backing off the receipes which my pans simply will not cook according to what is the ultimate outcome. I'm purchasing NEW cookware and I'll go from there. Anyone have suggestions, I'm open! Eating right, cooking the the right pans is so much more critical than I ever imagined. So far, I love the foods that have turned out well. Not growing up in the Middle East is a disadvantage; my husband has a hard time adjusting to the spicing. I love it as I'm an army brat and lived all over the world...thus, trying new foods is just dandy with me. I love that desertcart offers so much, I love my grains and I love learning how to cook differently. It's fun, surprising and taste delious. Yotam and Sami are great and what a blessing they bring to all who try their books as they leave a little of themseleves in every reciepe. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #75,145 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #14 in Kosher Cooking (Books) #41 in Middle Eastern Cooking, Food & Wine #96 in Mediterranean Cooking, Food & Wine | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,174 Reviews | ## Images ![Ottolenghi: The Cookbook - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91CHle-BmAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ottolenghi scores big with "Ottolenghi" *by B***) on November 28, 2013* My admiration for this author/chef knows no limits.

Because this was his first cookbook, I expected this to be less polished and maybe less complex than some of his later works. I am still not sure how to compare this to his other books, as it really stands out among the rest of them. He clearly had not yet perfected his style, as the food photography and layout is quite different from his other works. I would also say that this book will sometimes have several recipes on one page, rather than the more typical layout of one page for recipe and the other for photography. In fact, there's many recipes in here that are not photographed at all, while there's two page spreads of his restaurants, many out of focus. The lack of food photography in the way that may be expected by today's standards may turn some people off, but I found the book to be really refreshing. I was excited by the challenge of how simply some of these recipes were written, especially given that many of them are actually either complex or challenging, or both! Some of these recipes have really enticed me. I particularly love the roasted eggplant salad with saffron yogurt and pomegranate seeds and toasted pine nuts. It is so good, and the saffron yogurt alone is now a staple in my home. One of the recipes for couscous has you homemake labneh--I decided to give it a try, Why not? It was fun, and led to an incredible experience! I would completely recommend. The chicken dishes pack such incredible flavor and are different. This book really teaches you some great techniques if you're patient and willing to really explore and make some the recipes in the Larder section, too. I should also note, this book is worth it alone for the baking section in the back. Ottolenghi actually started his career as a pastry chef, and this book shows off his skill there quite well, given that he is really far more known for his cooking than baking at this point. There's tons of recipes, and although they don't necessarily reinvent the wheel, they're great for things like little Christmas gifts or something to bring to a party. The sour cherry amaretti cookies were a huge hit for me. I even made my own almond meal with his instructions, though you could easily skip that step for less effort. I was not expecting to come away from this book so excited and particularly, like I really learned something new. I recommend this mostly to people that are already really invested in Ottolenghi and not just a casual observer, as this is probably less approachable than most of his catalogue, especially due to the way it was written (less instruction, with an unwritten expectation that you already have quite an extensive knowledge of cooking) and the lack of photos of many of the dishes. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ottolenghi: The Cookbook - Ottolenghi Simple: A Cookbook - Ottolenghi Flavor: A Cookbook --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/1609252-ottolenghi-the-cookbook](https://www.desertcart.in/products/1609252-ottolenghi-the-cookbook) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
