Plenty More picks up where Plenty left off, with 150 more dazzling vegetable-based dishes, this time organized by cooking method. Grilled, baked, simmered, cracked, braised, or raw, the range of recipe ideas is stunning.

At the End of Essential Ottolenghi Review

Essential Ottolenghi puts together two great books that are packed with tons of flavor and delicious recipes. Although both books are veggie-focused, you still find plenty of animal protein-based recipes. In our opinion, and as the name suggests, Essential Ottolenghi is an essential collection for anyone who enjoys a healthy and delicious meal.

Summary

Despite some hard to find ingredients and some laborious recipes Essential Ottolenghi is a fantastic collection of two books that change the way we all look and eat vegetables.
