“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.

Here's another splendid vegetable-centric cookbook from the two-time James Beard Award winning chef-owner of Ottolenghi restaurants. This time, he helps home cooks understand what makes a vegetable distinct and how to ramp-up its flavor or taste it afresh. The author defines flavor and uses easy-to-understand examples to explain how layering, contrast, and balance accentuate flavor. Recipes fall within sections devoted to his three P's for increasing flavor: process (browning, charring, infusing, and aging), pairings (with sweetness, fat, acidity, and chile-heat) and produce (adding umami-rich mushrooms, alliums, nuts & seeds, or sugar-fruit & booze). Featuring a widely appealing flexitarian approach, this collection sometimes uses items like fish sauce or Parmesan in clearly written recipes with helpful visual cues. VERDICT With appetizing photos, humorous illustrations reminiscent of midcentury cookbooks, and useful lists of meal suggestions by categories, plus a separate recipe section for flavor-enhancing oils, sauces, and sprinkles, this modern veggie cookbook is recommended for anyone ready for intense flavor.--Bonnie Poquette, Milwaukee
