I’m mostly vegetarian so I’m always on the hunt for a great cookbook that will give me some variety in my meals. While I was cruising Acres Home & Garden in St. Helena a couple of summers ago, I discovered Ottolenghi’s cookbook, entitled Plenty. I started to look through the book and immediately became distracted with the incredibly beautiful food photography contained within its pages. Whether the recipes were delicious or not, I just had to have the book for the gorgeous pictures.
Yotam Ottolenghi was born in Jerusalem so his food has a middle eastern style of cooking, which is my personal favorite. All of his recipes in this book are approachable so this book quickly became one of my favorites. He has published 5 cookbooks in all, but I have not yet bought the others. It will take me awhile to fully enjoy the recipes in Plenty.
