Inspired by their childhoods in West and East Jerusalem, Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi’s first cookbook Ottolenghi: The Cookbook showcases fresh, honest, bold cooking. Their inventive yet simple dishes rest on numerous culinary traditions and influences, ranging from the Middle East to North Africa to Italy and California. It has become a culinary classic.

First published in 2008, this re-launched version sees Yotam and Sami providing new and updated introductions to the 140 recipes, which cover everything from meat and fish through to lavish salads and vegetables, plus Ottolenghi’s famously amazing cakes and breads. Readers are given fresh ideas as to what an old favourite can be served with or ideas for alternatives which can be used.
