Summary

Flavour-forward, vegetable-based recipes are at the heart of Yotam Ottolenghi’s food。

In this stunning new cookbook Yotam and co-writer Ixta Belfrage break down the three factors that create flavour and offer innovative vegetable dishes that deliver brand-new ingredient combinations to excite and inspire。

Ottolenghi FLAVOUR combines simple recipes for weeknights, low-effort high-impact dishes, and standout meals for the relaxed cook。 Packed with signature colourful photography, FLAVOUR not only inspires us with what to cook, but how flavour is dialled up and why it works。

The book is broken down into three parts, which reveal how to tap into the potential of ordinary vegetables to create extraordinary food:

Process explains cooking methods that elevate veg to great heights;
Pairing identifies four basic pairings that are fundamental to great flavour;
Produce offers impactful vegetables that do the work for you。

With surefire hits, such as Aubergine Dumplings alla Parmigiana, Hasselback Beetroot with Lime Leaf Butter, Miso Butter Onions, Spicy Mushroom Lasagne and Romano Pepper Schnitzels, plus mouthwatering photographs of nearly every one of the more than 100 recipes, Ottolenghi FLAVOUR is the impactful, next-level approach to vegetable cooking that Ottolenghi fans and vegetable lovers everywhere have been craving。

This book is a fascinating take on plant based recipes, and I will definitely try a few of the recipes but even for me (a fairly adventurous home vegan cook) I found some of the ingredient lists to be a tad overwhelming。 I have no idea where I would find some of these exotic sounding ingredients but we will see。 I would say this book is for the highly adventurous home chef。 I also wish there were pictures of every recipe, I would rather fewer recipes and more pictures 。

An amazing vegetarian cookbook。

Carrie Rodriguez

Everything seems amazing but so intimidating。

Mairzi

Gorgeous book with unnecessarily complicated recipes and ingredients that are not always easy to source。 Also Cookbooks should not be so heavy that they are difficult to carry。

Michelle

The recipes are probably delicious and the photos are gorgeous but this cookbook is not for me。 These recipes look tasty but are not healthy, balanced (where's the protein?), or quick。 Most of the recipes call for at least a couple of hard-to-find ingredients and there are usually 15 to 20 different ingredients per recipe。 I'm too old and tired to bother。 The recipes are probably delicious and the photos are gorgeous but this cookbook is not for me。 These recipes look tasty but are not healthy, balanced (where's the protein?), or quick。 Most of the recipes call for at least a couple of hard-to-find ingredients and there are usually 15 to 20 different ingredients per recipe。 I'm too old and tired to bother。 。。。more

I’ve never used a book as often as this! So many amazing veggie meals and combinations you wouldn’t think to put together but taste amazing when you do。

I won a free copy of this book as part of a giveaway here。 So far I'm loving it。 I'm, admittedly, not the cook in the family, but my wife is a big fan of Ottolenghi and I'm a big fan of what she cooks when she's reading one of his books。 I can't say anything about the written content, though my wife tells me its good。 But I can say the recipes are delicious and I'm looking forward to tasting more of them。-A very happy and lucky husband。 I won a free copy of this book as part of a giveaway here。 So far I'm loving it。 I'm, admittedly, not the cook in the family, but my wife is a big fan of Ottolenghi and I'm a big fan of what she cooks when she's reading one of his books。 I can't say anything about the written content, though my wife tells me its good。 But I can say the recipes are delicious and I'm looking forward to tasting more of them。-A very happy and lucky husband。 。。。more

Beautiful to look at but nothing I would actually try to make at home。

If you were hoping for another cookbook flavored with Israel/middle-eastern recipes, pass this one by。 But you might be sorry。 The veggies, flavored with exotic (and not so exotic if you have ethnic or larger markets nearby)。 Curried Carrot Mash with Brown Butter and Butter Beans in Smoked Cascabel Oil are by themselves totally worth the cost of the book。But don't bother trying to find anything specific in the index。 For example, those Butter Beans?

Always a treat to read books by Ottolenghi, they combine flavor, history, veggie goodness, unique applications and combinations and art。 I particularly like the discourses on process。

R。J。 Gilmour

Another beautifully crafted cookbook from Ottolenghi。 Not only are his cookbooks nicely designed with lots of colour photographs but they feature recipes that one would want to make。 This cookbook is devoted to a host of vegetarian inspired recipes。

Rhonda

The recipes sound amazing, but I haven't actually cooked any yet。 I am not a vegetarian; my goal is to change my meal preparation from meat centered to a super delicious plant-based dish to complement a small portion of simple meat (like roasted chicken。 I've tried other vegetarian cookbooks, but was underwhelmed by the lack of flavor。 These recipes have me feeling more optimistic。 The recipes sound amazing, but I haven't actually cooked any yet。 I am not a vegetarian; my goal is to change my meal preparation from meat centered to a super delicious plant-based dish to complement a small portion of simple meat (like roasted chicken。 I've tried other vegetarian cookbooks, but was underwhelmed by the lack of flavor。 These recipes have me feeling more optimistic。 。。。more

My daughter spent her hard-earned money buying me this book for my Christmas present。 She was fooled by its trendy looking cover and colourful photos。I have perused its 300 pages several times now and not found one, single recipe I want to try。 In fact, some are utterly repulsive: "The Ultimate Traybake Ragu" looks like a plate of pasta with fried mince and nothing else。 I think that was the only recipe that had meat in it and seemed to be added as an afterthought。 I have to admit, the photograp My daughter spent her hard-earned money buying me this book for my Christmas present。 She was fooled by its trendy looking cover and colourful photos。I have perused its 300 pages several times now and not found one, single recipe I want to try。 In fact, some are utterly repulsive: "The Ultimate Traybake Ragu" looks like a plate of pasta with fried mince and nothing else。 I think that was the only recipe that had meat in it and seemed to be added as an afterthought。 I have to admit, the photography is nice。 。。。more

Fussy recipes with ingredients I would never use again。 I will try a couple of the simple ones。 Beautiful food。

Alyssa

Got this from the library and have it on my list to buy。 WHAT A GEM。 This was just the book I needed to bring some excitement to my cooking for one in quarantine, missing restaurants and travel。 Great vegetarian recipes to try out new twists and Interesting combos。 Great as mains or as side dishes。 Have heard of Ottolenghi for years and have tried a few recipes I’ve seen online but his book is so much better。 Why did I wait so long to check him out? Highly recommend。 Don’t wait like I did。

Jaime

Delicious recipes that will make even the biggest veggie hater want more

Linette

I don't usually read a cookbook from cover to cover。 This being vegetable based it seemed a good place to start for a confirmed carnivore。 It was worth it。 I don't usually read a cookbook from cover to cover。 This being vegetable based it seemed a good place to start for a confirmed carnivore。 It was worth it。 。。。more

Loved the recipes。

Betty

Apart from an interesting range of recipes, this book is a mine of information about the chemistry of cooking。 So far I have tried 4 recipes (only one dud。。。)

Beth Adams

Great recipes and great book but it's not that accessible because all the recipes require expensive ingredients。 Love the veg focus though and the flexibility Great recipes and great book but it's not that accessible because all the recipes require expensive ingredients。 Love the veg focus though and the flexibility 。。。more

What an amazing cookbook to add to my library! This was a Christmas gift that will be used over and over again! Have already tried 3 recipes and they were all a hit!

Juli Anna

I feel like I'm going to need to sit with this book for a long time to give a true assessment of it, but I've already made a couple of absolutely wonderful recipes from this book。 I feel like I'm going to need to sit with this book for a long time to give a true assessment of it, but I've already made a couple of absolutely wonderful recipes from this book。 。。。more

One of the best vegetarian cookbooks that I have found to date! Recipes supersede Plenty and provide vibrant delicious fusion options! Don’t miss out on: Eggplant Dumplings, Tofu Meatball Korma, Cardamom Tofu and Sweet Potato in Tomato and Lime Sauce。

Deborah

A gift from my brother and his husband。 A revolutionary view on veg that clearly and passionately explains both why and how。 These ideas have really elevated my food。 More importantly the concepts carryover into every recipe I make。 Flavor bombs!

Pamela

Very detailed recipes and great pictures!

Zissy

I've cooked multiple pasta dishes from the book and while I know Ottolenghi recipes always seem like a big to do, the pay off is worth it。。 I had to separately fry garlic and make pickles for a black lime tofu dish, but dang if that wasn't the best thing I ate all week。 I would definitely recommend!

Received in giveaway! I’ve been holding off adding it because honestly I haven’t actually made anything from it yet, but it’s a beautiful book。 There’s a ton of information and I WANT to eat everything shown in it, there’s so many interesting ways to prepare vegetables。

Beautifully photographed and deliciously described。

Delicious, but more than just a cookbook。 The third book in the series with Plenty and Plenty More, it delves into the art and science of flavour, breaks it down into its constituent parts and rebuilds sublime combinations for extracting maximum taste and mouthfeel from each dish。 Recipes are vegetarian, mostly vegan and yes, he uses a wide range of herbs, spices and exotic ingredients but an early chapter in the book covers what each of these brings to the party and many are replaceable with su Delicious, but more than just a cookbook。 The third book in the series with Plenty and Plenty More, it delves into the art and science of flavour, breaks it down into its constituent parts and rebuilds sublime combinations for extracting maximum taste and mouthfeel from each dish。 Recipes are vegetarian, mostly vegan and yes, he uses a wide range of herbs, spices and exotic ingredients but an early chapter in the book covers what each of these brings to the party and many are replaceable with suggested alternatives。 Let the cooking commence and may deliciousness follow 。。。 。。。more

I have read all of his cookbooks and this one is not my favorite。 I thought there were too many ingredients that would have been difficult to get into many recipes that I wouldn’t try。 This is why I love reviewing cookbooks from the library before purchasing them
