Ottolenghi Recipes
We adore Ottolenghi’s Plenty book. We have so many recipes tagged and it gets used at least once a week. He’s a whizz when it comes to middle eastern ways of using butternut squash. We have never been disappointed.
Yotam Ottolenghi’s Plenty
One of the best books for innovative vegetarian recipes. Buy the hardback. It is worth it for the beautiful photography.
