Yotam OttolenghiAdd this cookbookI have both books and love them to bits. The first is probably a little more versatile as it has meat & vegetable recipes and also has a pretty amazing dessert/baking section too. Having said that, "Plenty" has some of the very best vegetable recipes I've ever seen.
Not an easy decision, really!
- An Ottolenghi month would be brilliant!

I've made the Crusted Pumpkin Wedges and they are fabulous. Easy to make and the kids loved them - they have become a regular on our plates.No likes Can’t Like Unlike Like No likes- No likes Can’t Like Unlike Like No likesFat Witch Brownies: Brownies, Blondies, and Bars from New York's Legendary Fat Witch Bakeryby Patricia Helding
This fantastic little book is by Patricia Helding, the owner of the Fat Witch Bakery in New York - and I would just love to go there!
In the meantime I will content myself with baking the gorgeous bars and treats from these pages. Full of chocolate, sugar and butter - it is no wonder this shop is so popular!!

I just received this book yesterday in the post and spent last night reverently going through it page by page.
While I'm fond enough of eating dessert, I don't really have a large repertoire of desserts that I make myself - that will now change!
David Lebovitz seriously knows his stuff and this book is crammed with gorgeous sweet dishes to tempt everybody. It is set out with an informative section on ingredients and equipment in the beginning, followed by the recipes divided into types of dessert - cakes, pies, cookies,frozen deserts etc - making it very simple to find the sort...

It is full of great recipes that are quick to put together and taste fresh and satisfying. There are cooking tips and hints about variations both in cooking or ingredients and loads of information about buying produce and/or cooking implements. It would be a good book to give as a gift to a new cook, but is just as useful for the more experienced cook who may be looking for new inspiration.

I was thrilled to bits to finally get my hands on this beautiful book. I live in Australia, so I haven't been to the famous restaurant/cafe "Ottolenghi", but I am deeply in love with their food since I bought the cookbook of the same name. When I heard there was another one out by Yottam Ottolenghi I knew I had to have it.
I am not disappointed. This is a gorgeous book. The gold embossed, white cover is slightly padded so it is a pleasure to pick up and hold, the photos of the food are as beautifully styled and lit...
2 likes Can’t Like Unlike Like 2 likesThis is a new edition of Claudia's classic book from 1968. With some recipes revisited and others needing no change it is still one of the definitive works on Middle Eastern food and holds a valued place in my collection!
Love it!!
I live in South Australia and have a long-held passion for all aspects of food - any of the history, customs, rituals around cooking and eating are of interest to me.
I live on a small acreage in a wine-growing region, where we raise 3 teenagers (sigh) and some Black Angas cattle. I have recently started to write a food blog in an effort to remember what it is that I cook from season to season!

Turnips really are the wallflowers of the veggie world, being very boring and nutritionally negligible. I wrote a brief piece about them earlier this year on my blog here - http://www.lambsearsandhoney.com/2011/06/seasonal-secrets-whats-in-the-box-1516-june/
I was trying to sell them to my kids and eventually decided it wasn't worth the effort as there are so many other more nutritionally dense and tasty vegetables. I like to pick my battles with food & the children!
If you are determined to love them, I think they are only worth bothering with if you can really trick them up with other things. Claudia Roden has a couple of quite nice ideas in this book, including serving them with dates or making a salad with orange.
