Interesting Ideas, fundamentally dishonest rip-off in practice

Reviewed in Canada on 18 June 2020

This is not a cookbook. None of his other publications are either. Unlike books from other Michelin-starred Chefs, literal instruction-following will result in utter mediocrity or disgust. While people can 'fail to the top,' I highly doubt the slop this tends to generate would sustain even one restaurant. My social circle has wasted an embarrassing amount of time and money on this guy's pretty books. Yes, they're all 'good ideas' and can be fixed if one has an intuitive approach to recipe interpretation and cooking, or formal training, but one should not expect to have to drastically correct recipes from an 'off the shelf' cookbook.

Strepitoso Jerusalem, meno la trasparenza di Amazon

Reviewed in Italy on 29 May 2022

Da accesa sostenitrice della cucina di Yotam Ottolenghi sono davvero felice di aver potuto usufruire dello straordinario sconto del 69% di Jerusalem, uno dei suoi libri-Bibbia.
Meno contenta sono stata di constatare la motivazione dello sconto: la stampa sbavata e confusa della copertina e delle pagine di inizio capitolo di tutto il libro (non delle foto e delle ricette, per fortuna).
Visto che il danno era tutto sommato irrilevante per la fruizione del libro, Amazon poteva segnalarlo: l’avrei comprato ugualmente ma sarei stata più contenta.
Il problema è di tutta la “partita”: faccio parte di un gruppo di “cultori” e, visto lo sconto, l’abbiamo comprato in molti…

I purchased this book for my husband, who is a Chef by profession and a cook book collector. The fabric on the cover is full of dust, oil and pencil marks and looks used. Very very disappointed. Returning this book and hoping to receive a replacement.

peccato che il libro non sia in lingua italiana e non venga specificato che sia solo in inglese. Un vero peccato perchè il libro sembra ben curato e a me interessava molto

Oy! A steaming plate of disappointment!

Listen, here’s the deal. If I’m going to spend 3 hours and $65 making a single dish, rustling up exotic ingredients at 3 different stores, as I just did tonight, then I expect it to be magical, alright? It was not, nor have any other recipes I’ve made from this book been anything better than “okay,“ or worse (read: pile of slop on a plate).

Now, in case you’re an optimistic shopper hoping that the problem is me, and it won’t happen to you, nice try. I’m a confident and experienced home cook with decades of cooking under my belt. I know how to use almost any technique in the book. I don’t substitute ingredients. I measure accurately. I plan meticulously. I’m here to tell you that Jerusalem’s recipes are just plain mediocre.

I can confidently say that I’ve made better dinners in 30 minutes out of $20 worth of ingredients than these unseasonably lengthy, set-your-wallet on fire expensive recipes. Don’t believe the hype. Save your money and your time and use Jerusalem as a coffee table book instead of a cookbook.

A lot of money for a recipe book that tries to rely on pictures rather than doable recipes. Too many ingredients and many of them are difficult if not impossible to get hold of. More of a coffee table book than a usable cookery book.

It arrived wet because the box was left in the rain instead of on the porch. Wait for it to dry before I useit.
