I don’t normally write reviews but felt I had to in this case. I have purchased Otto Lemghi cookbooks before and the recipes taste fantastic but have lots of ingredients and require a ridiculous amount of chopping etc. Hence when I saw ‘Simple’ I thought ‘fanstistic! Great recipes without all the faff’. Unfortunately I was wrong. The recipes I have made so far require a lot of prep, e.g chopping 30-50g each of 3-4 different herbs which involves picking off the leaves from the stalks etc. Which unfortunately takes ages!
So the recipes taste good but the simple title does not mean quick!

Just as the name suggests, in SIMPLE, each recipe is focused on only the essential ingredients and cooking techniques required, maximising flavour and respecting your time (& wallet too). I don't always have much time to spend coming up with a meal plan or figuring out what to cook so Ottolenghi has made this easy. Each recipe is coded into categories such as 'Short on time', '10 ingredients or less', 'Make ahead' or my favourite 'Lazy', allowing you to choose something appropriate at a glance.
The book contains a wide variety of recipes from vegetables to fish, meats & of course desserts. I was lucky to have an opportunity to receive a preview copy and can't fault any of the dozen or so recipes I've already tried out. Each one was up to the usual high standards set by the chef however, the lists of ingredients are mercifully short, a change from the previous books as anyone who has ever cooked an Ottolenghi recipe will know. Overall the recipes are quick and easy to prepare but have lost none of their flavour impact in the process. You can go to any of the recipes in the book and know, with confidence, it will impress.
I can't recommend this book highly enough, it's well worth a buy.
A fantastic, easy to use book packed with wonderfully flavourful recipes.
