Absolutely the best - By: H. Humphreys, 26 Jul 2008 
Great recipes that work! not only excellent bed-time reading but a full on working cook book that no kitchen should be without.Clear, exciting recipes, great flavour combinations, easy to read & the photography is simply fantastic. Buy for your family & friends, they will love you forever.
If you only buy one cookbook this year.... - By: Easterchick, 18 Jul 2008 buy this one! I have to admit, I don't livein London so I had no idea that Ottolenghi was even a shop - I thought it was a restaurant :-) I bought it purely on the strength of the other reviews.
It wasn't a bad decision! The book is visually stunning, with enough recipes to keep you going all year - I am always envious of people who can take something completely mundane (like broccoli) & turn it into a showstopper just by adding some garlic & chilli. Genius.
If you like cooking with ingredients such as bulghur wheat, sultanas, pomegranate, this is probably the book for you. But is also full of recipes for cakes, muffins & meringues. Buy, cook & enjoy!
I'll Try the lot - By: Peter Black, 20 Jun 2008 How many times have you bought a cook book & only end up using two or three recipes from it. Having opened Ottolenghi I started at the beginning & read through all the recipes & have not found one that I don't want to do. I haven't been to the restaurant but the picturesin the book certainly whetted my appetite.
Fresh & inspiring cooking - By: Sarah, 31 May 2008 Having eaten at Ottolenhi a few times & absolutely loved it, we were very excited at the prospect of Ottolenghi at home! I have already cooked 3 dishes & all have been amazing. Looking forward to eating our way through the rest of the book!
One of the best cookery books in years - By: Annie, 19 May 2008 I'm a big fan of Ottolenghi, having eaten there a few times. I was really looking forward to this book & it didn't disappoint. There's a fresh take on everything & even though some recipes (french beans, mangetoutin a hazelnut & orange dressing) are little more than assembly jobs, they're great for inspirations. I love the layout, the recipes, everything. Buy it!
