Overview

Award-winning follow-up to 2008's bestselling Ottolenghi- The Cookbook, vegetarian recipes from chef and restaurateur Yotam Ottolenghi. Winner of Observer Food Monthly's Cookbook of the Year. With his fabulous restaurants and bestselling Ottolenghi Cookbook, Yotam Ottolenghi has established himself as one of the most exciting talents in the world of cookery and food writing. This exclusive collection of vegetarian recipes is drawn from his column 'The New Vegetarian' for the Guardian's Weekend magazine, and features both brand-new recipes and dishes first devised for that column. Yotam's food inspiration comes from his strong Mediterranean background and his unapologetic love of ingredients. Not a vegetarian himself, his approach to vegetable dishes is wholly original and innovative, based on strong flavours and stunning, fresh combinations. With sections devoted to cooking greens, aubergines, brassicas, rice and cereals, pasta and couscous, pulses, roots, squashes, onions, fruit, mushrooms and tomatoes, the breadth of colours, tastes and textures is extraordinary. Featuring vibrant, evocative food photography from acclaimed photographer Jonathan Lovekin, and with Yotam's voice and personality shining through, Plenty is a must-have for meat-eaters and vegetarians alike.

Prue writes: The thing about me is that I love cooking, specifically baking, but all kinds of recipes and delicious food possibilities are things I can really get excited about! I have a lot of recipe books for a semi-young person who is still renting and therefore lugging my things around on a regular basis. Before I started work at Better Read Than Dead I was on a strict no cook book buying ban. Then some of our wonderful customers would pop up to the counter, with brilliant cook books tucked under their arms and tell me all about how amazing it looked and how they just couldn't resist buying one more... and I capitulated into a cook book buying frenzy!<br />Plenty was the book that tipped me over the edge. I threw caution and self-imposed bans to the wind and bought it home with me. And it is glorious.<br />It is beautifully presented. Its clean, clear layout is complimented by incredibly inspiring food photography and simple line drawings herald in each new section of the recipe book. The sections are logically broken up into dominant types of vegetable, grain or rice/pasta. Plenty really is a celebration of all things vegetable. The recipes are rich, flavoursome and not impossible to source ingredients for. One of my personal favourite discoveries is the recipe for Shakshuka, which is a rich and delicious brunchy baked eggs meal. The All Vegetable Paella is also luxurious.<br />Plenty is a rare recipe book in that it spans kitchen abilities and is just as accessible for my &lsquo;just learning to cook' housemates as it is for me. If you only buy one recipe book this year - buy this one.... If you've already bought a few recipe books this year, then this one is a worthy addition to your collection!
