I love Ottolenghi’s food and flavours and this book delivers。 It’s worth getting the correct ingredients but substitutes can be successful。 I won’t actually finish reading and using this book and recommend it wholeheartedly。 Some favourites already are on repeat。

One of the best tasty and clean eating recipe books I've read。 Great cooking philosophy and they really are simple recipes to follow。 One of the best tasty and clean eating recipe books I've read。 Great cooking philosophy and they really are simple recipes to follow。 。。。more

This is one of my favourite cookbooks！ Highly recommend

Almost every recipe I've made from this book is a keeper， and some are "make this for guests"。 One， with haricot verts and tofu， was merely good， but I didn't sear the tofu properly， so that might have been my fault。Things I've made:* Roast cabbage with tarragon and pecorino （we roast a lot of veg， but this never would have occurred to me）* Pasta alla norma* Roasted asparagus with almonds， capers， and dill （easy）* Quick okra with sweet-and-sour dressing （very easy）* Chickpeas and Swiss chard wit Almost every recipe I've made from this book is a keeper， and some are "make this for guests"。 One， with haricot verts and tofu， was merely good， but I didn't sear the tofu properly， so that might have been my fault。Things I've made:* Roast cabbage with tarragon and pecorino （we roast a lot of veg， but this never would have occurred to me）* Pasta alla norma* Roasted asparagus with almonds， capers， and dill （easy）* Quick okra with sweet-and-sour dressing （very easy）* Chickpeas and Swiss chard with yogurt* Gigli with chickpeas and za'atar* Tofu and haricots verts with chraimeh sauceTwo weaknesses， though。 The SIMPLE acronym for recipe attributes is precious and a complete failure。 It is too much work to memorize。 Is "M" for minutes， like 30 minutes or less？ No， "S" is for "short on time"。 He should have called the book "Simple"， then used icons， like a clock face with a 30 next to it。Also， the recipes are occasionally too UK-specific。 Asking for "dried red peppers" in the US is just not specific enough。 Do you want ancho， New Mexico， chili de arbol， negro， pequin， or what？ Another example is specifying barberries without a substitute。 I can look up workarounds for these， like finding other recipes for pasta alla norma that use red pepper flakes。 But I shouldn't have fix up recipes like that。With those caveats， still five stars。 。。。more

Des recettes tellement savoureuses et originales。

Yes， it's a cookbook and I usually only skim them， looking for recipes to try， but I actually read this one from beginning to the end。 Most recipes are amazing and I want to try them all - they hit just the right spot between not being too fussy （I have the skills to do it， but I don't enjoy fussy cooking！）， sounding amazingly promising to be an absolute taste and texture explosion， and being heavy on vegetables。 Not to forget that the book focussed on the food and does not spend a ton of time t Yes， it's a cookbook and I usually only skim them， looking for recipes to try， but I actually read this one from beginning to the end。 Most recipes are amazing and I want to try them all - they hit just the right spot between not being too fussy （I have the skills to do it， but I don't enjoy fussy cooking！）， sounding amazingly promising to be an absolute taste and texture explosion， and being heavy on vegetables。 Not to forget that the book focussed on the food and does not spend a ton of time telling （mostly rather boring） stories of this and that。 The only sad thing that not many of the recipes would work for a workday lunch， to take with me to work， but well， you can't have everything， can you？ Anyway: love this one。 Will be used a ton。 。。。more

Heinz ，

Zwar sind einige der Gerichte keineswegs simpel oder rasch zubereitet。。。， aber alles， was ich bisher daraus gekocht habe， schmeckte sehr gut。 Praktisch finde ich die Kennzeichnung der einzelnen Gerichte mit Symbolen wie "schnell fertig"， "nicht mehr als 10 Zutaten"， "lässt sich vorbereiten" usw。 Zwei meiner Lieblingsgerichte: Blumenkohlauflauf mit Käse und Senf sowie die Lammfrikadellen mit Pistazien und Sumach-Joghurt - davon könnte ich unzählige verspeisen！ Zwar sind einige der Gerichte keineswegs simpel oder rasch zubereitet。。。， aber alles， was ich bisher daraus gekocht habe， schmeckte sehr gut。 Praktisch finde ich die Kennzeichnung der einzelnen Gerichte mit Symbolen wie "schnell fertig"， "nicht mehr als 10 Zutaten"， "lässt sich vorbereiten" usw。 Zwei meiner Lieblingsgerichte: Blumenkohlauflauf mit Käse und Senf sowie die Lammfrikadellen mit Pistazien und Sumach-Joghurt - davon könnte ich unzählige verspeisen！ 。。。more

4The recipes are simple， but not for a novice chef。 I love his take on food and how he strives to bring out the best of the food， putting taste and visual appeal back at the center of cooking。

One of the best cookbooks I have ever purchased and used！ So far have loved all but one recipe / which was fine not bad but not loved。 The photos are gorgeous and the recipes are pretty simple to follow。 His other books are far beyond my skill set

Amazing cookbook with amazing recipes。 Yum

Discovered thanks to foodie friends and ordered seeking new ways to cook veggies。 Amazing！！！ Simple yet amazing。 Some dishes now permanently on our weekly family menu

Henrietta ，

This book is wonderful but I don’t think any of his recipes are simple in that you need so many ingredients that aren’t part of my usual kitchen cupboard。 But recipes are great when you try them。

I have cooked over 100 recipes from this cookbook and can only highly recommend it。 I am fairly familiar with Ottolenghi as I also have his cookbooks “plenty”， “plenty more” and “flavor”。 I enjoy all of them but Simple stands out as it has consistently （relatively） easy-to-make healthy and delicious recipes。 What we go out of it: 1） many hours and occasions of sharing delicious food with impressed friends and family 2） increased proportion of vegetable in our diet 3） a greater variety of vegetab I have cooked over 100 recipes from this cookbook and can only highly recommend it。 I am fairly familiar with Ottolenghi as I also have his cookbooks “plenty”， “plenty more” and “flavor”。 I enjoy all of them but Simple stands out as it has consistently （relatively） easy-to-make healthy and delicious recipes。 What we go out of it: 1） many hours and occasions of sharing delicious food with impressed friends and family 2） increased proportion of vegetable in our diet 3） a greater variety of vegetables in our diet。The instructions are exact， which helps those who do not have a lot of cooking experience。 For example， instructions provide exact weights and quantities， which leave little room for error。 。。。more

'Simple' in the Ottolenghi sense， where the list of ingredients is halved， but still long， and the cooking process is complex， but not as complex。I love it。 I've made only a couple of the meat dishes， but the vegetable dishes are really really good。I'm especially impressed by the precision of the times， heats， and methods。 It suits our domestic cooker and oven perfectly。Some of the recipes in here are complete winners _and_ simple。 The sweet potato mash with herbed salsa s one。 Couscous with her 'Simple' in the Ottolenghi sense， where the list of ingredients is halved， but still long， and the cooking process is complex， but not as complex。I love it。 I've made only a couple of the meat dishes， but the vegetable dishes are really really good。I'm especially impressed by the precision of the times， heats， and methods。 It suits our domestic cooker and oven perfectly。Some of the recipes in here are complete winners _and_ simple。 The sweet potato mash with herbed salsa s one。 Couscous with herbs and cherry tomatoes is another。 。。。more

Ok I did the Ottolenghi cookbooks backward and probably should’ve started with this one。 It’s definitely more accessible than his fancier recipe collections。 And while the tagging system is a little complicated， it was nice to look specifically for recipes based on time or simplicity level。 I can’t say I will try all the recipes but the ones I’ve marked and tried have been good。

I like the concept of this cookbook: 10 ingredients or less per recipe， not much prep time， and packed with flavor。 These recipes are outside of my usual flavor profiles as well， so I am excited to try them out！

Not as good as other Ottolenghi cooking book

I keep checking out these highly praised cookbooks， and I'm never happy with them。 Even the author admits there are limited ingredients and spices that he works with for his self-created dishes featured in his restaurants and home in London。 I saved a few recipes to try， chiefly in the dessert section， but the other night I made the not-so-simple many steps process of making stuffed zucchini with a bread， zucchini pine nut， tomato stuffing and lots of fresh oregano。 It was bland beyond belief， a I keep checking out these highly praised cookbooks， and I'm never happy with them。 Even the author admits there are limited ingredients and spices that he works with for his self-created dishes featured in his restaurants and home in London。 I saved a few recipes to try， chiefly in the dessert section， but the other night I made the not-so-simple many steps process of making stuffed zucchini with a bread， zucchini pine nut， tomato stuffing and lots of fresh oregano。 It was bland beyond belief， and this with a large garlic clove in the stuffing。 I also added grated salty Italian cheeses （in the stuffing and on top） and still bland。 I can only write for myself in saying I want more than four recipes to try and I want them failproof if I am going to pursue a chef's vision。 。。。more

Simple。 Hah。 I just spent 3 hours （on a weekday） just cooking a lamb meat loaf and ginger cucumber salad。 Everything has been great， really unique recipes and a refresher in the kitchen … but far from simple。

This has some nice recipes， some great salads and vegetable dishes。 I didn't realise this has meat recipes， but there is a section on meat based meals。 Although there were some nice vegetable based dishes， I wouldn't buy a book with a meat section。 It's good that a meat based cookery book shows some vegetable options but not one I'd want to keep。 This has some nice recipes， some great salads and vegetable dishes。 I didn't realise this has meat recipes， but there is a section on meat based meals。 Although there were some nice vegetable based dishes， I wouldn't buy a book with a meat section。 It's good that a meat based cookery book shows some vegetable options but not one I'd want to keep。 。。。more

Whether you are new to Middle Eastern cooking or a seasoned pro， there's something in this book for you。 I became entranced with Ottolenghi's cooking after participating in his Master Class， though my intrigue had started years earlier as we processed his cookbooks for the library。 The covers！ The photos！ So much color， so much beauty。 Master Class sealed the deal， as watching him work through the recipes helped pare down the complexity。And yet， I knew I wouldn't ever make the majority of the re Whether you are new to Middle Eastern cooking or a seasoned pro， there's something in this book for you。 I became entranced with Ottolenghi's cooking after participating in his Master Class， though my intrigue had started years earlier as we processed his cookbooks for the library。 The covers！ The photos！ So much color， so much beauty。 Master Class sealed the deal， as watching him work through the recipes helped pare down the complexity。And yet， I knew I wouldn't ever make the majority of the recipes he demonstrated。 Too。 Much。 Effort。 Imagine my delight when I came across this， surely now my favorite， of all his cookbooks。 You get all the beauty and all the taste （some might disagree with this latter one but for those of us who don't want a lot of competing flavors， I stand by it） with a guaranteed 10 ingredients or fewer （small caveat included in the intro）。 Each recipe is labeled clearly with brightly colored circles to help you assess the following: Short on Time， 10 Ingredients or Less （wish it said Fewer）， Make Ahead， and Pantry （assumes you have a certain list of ingredients on hand）。Get the cookbook and get cooking。 。。。more

Superb， out of this world。 and I not even cooked much from it yet。 I am reviewing because well， this one deserves， the presented content format， the pictures， the colours， and everything on this book sums up to add on taste and enjoyment。 The recipes are fabulous， the enjoyment of preparing them and learning from it is priceless。 Great work has to be praised and this is one of them ！
