“Bold, innovative recipes . . . make this book truly thrilling.”— The New York Times Level up your vegetables. In this groundbreaking cookbook, Yotam Ottolenghi and Ixta Belfrage offer a next-level approach to vegetables that breaks down the fundamentals of cooking into three key elements: process, pairing, and produce. For process, Yotam and Ixta show how easy techniques such as charring and infusing can change the way you think about cooking. Discover how to unlock new depths of flavor by pairing vegetables with sweetness, fat, acidity, or chile heat, and learn to identify the produce that has the innate ability to make dishes shine.
With main courses, sides, desserts, and a whole pantry of “flavor bombs” (homemade condiments), there’s something for any meal, any night of the week, including surefire hits such as Stuffed Eggplant in Curry and Coconut Dal, Spicy Mushroom Lasagne, and Romano Pepper Schnitzels. Chock-full of low-effort, high-impact dishes that pack a punch and standout meals for the relaxed cook, Ottolenghi Flavor is a revolutionary approach to vegetable cooking. Read more
Editor's Take
Amazon reviewers say this cookbook is packed with flavorful, inventive vegetable-focused recipes, strong photography, and useful technique ideas, though some readers find the ingredient lists long and the recipes fussy or less weeknight-friendly.
Goodreads reviewers are similarly mixed: many praise the book as brilliant, delicious, and inspiring, while others say it is better suited to experienced cooks who do not mind uncommon ingredients and extra prep.
On Reddit, users describe it as a beautiful book with some incredible recipes, with the main caveat being that it can be more demanding than a casual home-cooking book.
On the web, cookbook review blogs echo the same pattern: highly creative flavors and standout results, but often a fairly complex execution.
