Ottolenghi Comfort: A Cookbook
About this product
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The beloved author of Ottolenghi Flavor reimagines comfort food with over 100 global, personal recipes. ONE OF NPR’S BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR
Yotam Ottolenghi—the beloved chef who has captured the hearts of homecooks looking for inspiration and great-tasting cooking—is back. In Ottolenghi Comfort, he brings his inspiring, flavor-forward cooking to comfort dishes.
With game-changing low-lift recipes as well as recipes to spend an afternoon on, Ottolenghi Comfort presents creative dishes that are comfortable to both cook and eat. In more than 100 recipes, Ottolenghi—and co-authors Helen Goh, Verena Lochmuller, and Tara Wigley—bring together childhood memories and travels around the world, celebrating food and friends and the connections they build together, ones to pass on from generation to generation.
For Ottolenghi, a bowl of pasta becomes Caramelized Onion Orecchiette with Hazelnuts & Crispy Sage, a warming soup is Cheesy Bread Soup with Savoy Cabbage & Cavolo Nero, and potatoes are transformed into Garlicky Aligot Potato with Leeks & Thyme. In Comfort, he tackles everything from crepes to hummus; lamb meatloaf to quick ramen; savory rugelah to chocolate mousse.
This is a book filled with meals that are easy and exciting, familiar and fresh, new and nostalgic, revelatory yet reassuring. Read more
Editor's Take
Amazon reviewers say this cookbook has strong, approachable recipes, with comments like “great recipes” and praise for dishes that surprised them, such as hummus. Goodreads readers are also generally positive, describing it as full of “terrific recipes” and saying they want to try many of the dishes.
At the same time, some Goodreads readers and cookbook-blog coverage are more mixed, with a few noting that they prefer other Ottolenghi books such as Simple or Jerusalem and that this one may be less essential for longtime fans. A Reddit discussion shows readers actively recommending and discussing the book, which suggests it has strong interest among Ottolenghi fans.
YouTube results include official and media-style videos tied directly to this book, including a recipe demo for Egg sambal “shakshuka” from Ottolenghi COMFORT and a feature with Yotam Ottolenghi cooking from the book. These indicate there are real video reviews/demos about the specific product, though the search results shown here did not clearly surface separate review-style YouTube URLs beyond those official/demo videos.
