The culinary bible that started it all – Ottolenghi's debut cookbook brings together the bold, unfussy flavours that made the chef a household name. Inspired by childhoods in Jerusalem and drawing on international cuisine traditions from North Africa to Italy and California, this collection of 140 recipes showcases adventurous ethnic cookery perfect for couples who love bold flavours without the fuss. From showstopping meat and fish mains to fresh salad creations and those famous cakes you can bake at home, it's the gift that keeps on giving (usually in the form of incredible dinner parties). A modern classic with a fresh introduction that makes it as relevant today as when it first revolutionised home cooking.
