This book is extremely helpful as it informs you of the pan sizes that are used for each recipe and what the measurements actually mean. For a novice desert/sweet cook as myself, I made the banana chocolate ripple cheesecake with no issues. The book is easy to follow and I am looking forward to cooking other recipes from this book. I highly recommend this lovely book to anyone who loves to create yummy treats.

About the Author
Yotam Ottolenghi (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
Helen Goh (Author)
Helen was born in Malaysia but started her cooking career in Australia, where she had migrated with her family as a girl. After 7 years as head pastry chef at Donovans, a landmark Melbourne restaurant, she moved to London and soon joined Ottolenghi. She has worked closely with Yotam as the lead product developer for the past ten years. Helen draws widely on Asian, Western and Middle Eastern influences in her cooking - and of course, on her love of sweets.

I love yotams approach to kitchen play as with so many of his creations this book follows similar pattern.
Kitchen is not just for cooking it’s for playing. As Morticia Adams said “ play with your food”.
In his recipes he brings in the fun of creating.
I cannot say that all the recipes are 5 *️⃣, actually some ( and I already made few) are too rich or not my best, but they inspire me to use my own twist on them, and that’s what i love about these recipes that it is a type “ wonderland game play” and the book have just opened the door.

Don’t bother with this book. The recipes are very challenging and some have ridiculous ingredients - like a vitamin c tablet. Far too many steps and stages.

Superb!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 November 2017Verified Purchase
I must admit upfront that I was biased before I opened this book as Yotam Ottolenghi’s books are my favourites on my rather extensive cookbook shelves. And I was not disappointed! As he says in the introduction: these recipes are “conceived with love and a bit of flair and made with real ingredients and lots of attention to detail” A perfect description!
As with previous Yotam Ottolenghi recipe books, the book is beautifully presented. Superb photographs and clear instructions, with details of timing, storage details and useful hints. I also like the clear quantities given – so for example, ½ small banana = 50 g mashed.
There are so many interesting and exciting recipes to try. But also those that give pizazz to well known favourites. For example the Custard Yo-Yos – with roasted rhubarb icing. Absolutely gorgeous to look at and superb tasting. Also Banana Cakes - with rum caramel. What a delight! Other little details such as how to make the Chocolate Chip Cookies crispy or chewy are what set this book apart from so many other baking books I have.
So top marks to Yotam Ottolenghi and Helen Goh for providing a wonderful selection of recipes and to the publishers for presenting a most glorious, readable and beautiful book.

I buy many cookery books, most I buy, read, cook from for a few weeks/months and then they make their way to the bookshelf graveyard. There are however a select few that I return to again and again and always will. The first Ottolenghi cookbook is one such book, Sweet will also be another. So many accessible recipes that are a little off the well trodden path of classics but ones that will no doubt replace them and become the new favourites.
Well laid out, clear explanations, content rich and heavy, a complete must for any home cook.

Brilliant book!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 November 2017Verified Purchase
Brilliant book. Everything looks great and of the many recipes I've tried I've discovered all are achievable.
The flavour combinations are really interesting such as the middle eastern millionaire's shortbread or the gingerbread with brandy apples and crème fraîche and the recipes work!
Although I have all the Ottolenghi cookbooks I tended to stear away from the sweet things and concentrated on the savoury dishes. I only really got into baking etc with the Honey and Co cookbooks which always turn out and are delicious. (Sarit Packer once worked at Ottolenghi) This book, I would say is comparable to those. I wouldn't be without it now and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Original, delicious, consistent – all that you want from a baking cookbook
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 January 2018Verified Purchase
As exciting, inspiring, and delicious as I'd imagined and hoped for. Since its arrival, I've baked a handful of recipes in this book now for friends and family, and all the imagery, stories, flavours have been such a joy. Plus, the Baker's Tips & Notes index at the back is an appreciated addition (e.g. Eggs: "The more eggs you have in a cake batter, the closer eye you need to keep on it towards the end of baking: a relatively large number of eggs means that a cake can go from being a little bit liquid in the middle to being cooked in just a few minutes.").
A baking book that achieves to surprise and delight, yet doesn't call for obscure or exotic ingredients that can't be sourced here in UK. Wonderful! Thank you!

Beautiful book - even just to look at!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 August 2018Verified Purchase
I love this book. I was a little worried that the recipes would be beyond me ...... or need ingredients which wouldn't be available in the little market town where I live. I was wrong on both counts. It's well written, clear and has beautiful photos, making me want to attempt all of the recipes.
The book definitely has kitchen cred! Beautiful to look at on display in the kitchen but everything is absolutely do-able in it. Definitely a good buy and it would make a lovely gift too.
