Plenty takes an inspired and fresh approach to vegetarian cooking. Sumptuous photographs make this an ideal gift for all foodies. ― The Independent
The hottest cookbook of the year ― The Guardian
He's a genius: his isn't exactly Middle eastern cooking - he's from Jerusalem - but it draws its very breath from the explosive colours and tastes of the region. ― The Scotsman

Book Description
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.
About the Author
Yotam Ottolenghi is the restaurateur and chef-patron of the four London-based Ottolenghi delis, as well as the NOPI and ROVI restaurants. He is the author of seven best-selling cookery books. Amongst several prizes, Ottolenghi SIMPLE won the National Book Award and was selected as best book of the year by the New York Times. Yotam has been a weekly columnist for the Saturday Guardian for over thirteen years and is a regular contributor to the New York Times. His commitment to the championing of vegetables, as well as ingredients once seen as 'exotic', has led to what some call 'The Ottolenghi effect'. This is shorthand for the creation of a meal which is full of colour, flavour, bounty and sunshine. Yotam lives in London with his family www.ottolenghi.co.uk @Ottolenghi

I purchased this cookbook as a gift, along with "Jerusalem", for a good cook who loves Ottolenghi, so I can't comment on it for myself. However, she was delighted. I really liked the cover, which is slightly padded and gives the book a luxe appearance, so perfect as a gift.

loved the recipes in this book but the publishers have not created an ebook that is easy to read on an iPad, choosing to merely reproduce the paper based structure. A failure in editing/publishing rather than in content I think

TOP 10 REVIEWER
I was gifted this book for my birthday as I'm an avid cook and had heard amazing things about Ottolenghi's food. I've cooked 5 dishes from it and they were all STAND-OUTS. The heavy emphasis on herbs and spices, this collection of recipes kicks vegetables up to a much higher level. So far I have tried the green couscous (amazing); cauliflower frittata; black pepper tofu (I've cooked this 3 times now, it's so good), mushroom and herb polenta (the best polenta dish we've ever had - the kids loved it) and the ultimate mushroom lasagna. And a huge bonus--most of the dishes that I've tried so far are relatively QUICK and EASY to prepare. This is an unusually well written cookbook that actually adds something to vegetarian cooking, it makes it an experience. I have just bought 2 copies for Christmas gifts for my cousins. You don't have to be vegetarian to enjoy this food - it's for everyone. Incredible!

TOP 10 REVIEWER
In his introduction to this book, Yotam Ottolenghi writes that that each dish is based around one of his favourite ingredients. This has led to an idiosyncratic organisation of recipes: some components (such as aubergines) have their own chapter; others are organised botanically (such as brassicas) and others reflect associations that are part of the way Ottolenghi shapes his menus.
These recipes are based on meatless dishes and reflect eclectic influences including the Middle East, South East Asia and Latin America. The book is full of delicious, mouth-watering recipes.
The chapter headings may give some idea:
Roots
Funny Onions
Mushrooms
Courgettes and Other Squashes
Capsicums
Brassicas
The Mighty Aubergine
Tomatoes
Leaves Cooked and Raw
Green Things
Green Beans
Pulses
Cereals
Pasta, Polenta, Couscous
Fruit with Cheese
The recipes are accompanied by anecdotes and by mouth-wateringly beautiful photographs. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. The amount of preparation required varies between dishes: some are quick and easy, others will require more time. But it's worth it. There is a recipe here for just about any occasion.

Great new ideas for vegetables
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 August 2018Verified Purchase
What I like about this book is that it gives some interesting and creative new ways to cook ordinary vegetables. It does use some unusual ingredients, but most can be bought online if you are not near a suitable shop, and many are available in large supermarkets, not just specialist delis. I've tried 4 recipes so far and enjoyed them all. Looking forward to working my way through the book. Many of the recipes would work as standalone meals, while others are more suitable as side dishes or with 2 or 3 others in a mezze-style meal. It's worth reading the explanatory text as well as the instructions as Ottolenghi sometimes offers tips and ideas for substitutions if you don't have ingredients. I like that he's not too precious about following the recipes to the letter. There are lots of good photos and the recipes are clearly set out.
A little complaint to the publisher and designer (and the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars): the spongy cover is easily pierced and damaged and is not practical for a cookery book. It looks scruffy and cheap when this happens and I doubt it will last for many years as I would expect from a cookery book. Please think about how a book will be used (yes, people do actually cook from recipe books, not just browse the lovely photos!). A normal hardcover would be more suitable.

Lots of cheese but also quite good for vegans
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 August 2020Verified Purchase
Full of recipes, clearly set out, clear instructions, not absolutely all with photographs, happily very few of those annoying “style” pictures that can waste valuable pages. The recipes rely heavily on cheese, which of course will attract plenty of tastes (and there are lots of varied cheeses, even some you might not be able to get - this just adds to the mystique of course, and could even lead to a lasting friendship with a Greek shepherd), but it also has viable vegan options if that is what you seek. I count at least 39 dishes that are either vegan or can be converted very easily, and most of those work for low-fat or no-oil vegans too. So yes there is plenty here.

Well worth the money!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 January 2017Verified Purchase
As a new vegetarian I was looking for some inspiration and boy does this book have it! It is divided into different sections; roots, onions, mushrooms, squashes, capsicums, brassicas, aubergine, tomatoes, leaves, green things, green beans, pulses, cereals, pasta and fruit with cheese. The paper is great quality and there are lots of pictures to show the end result! Most of the ingredients are easy to get at your local store so you can crack on with the recipes immediately. I was a bit hesitant to splash out on this book but I'm really glad I have. Also eBay prices seem to equal the amazon price or exceed it.

Gorgonzola....isn’t vegetarian!!!!!!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 November 2019Verified Purchase
Oh dear, when did Gorgonzola and Parmesan cheese become suitable for vegetarians, the answer, Mr Ottolenghi is they haven’t and never will due to their DoC status. Almost the first recipe I stopped at as I opened the book with excitement, which disappeared immediately seeing Gorgonzola listed, haven’t seen any fish included yet though but I’ll not hold my breath!
