Ottolenghi
This book celebrates vegetables and has only vegetarian and also vegan dishes. I Also highly recommed reading the non-recipe parts. There is a lot of knowledge in there how to build flavors.
My 2 recommendations when you want to start cooking Ottolenghi recipes:
- Browse the book for and pick out the recipes that appeal to you the most. Which less common inredients are needed? Start there. You don’t need to buy the full list of ‘Ottolenghi ingredients’. One of my all-time favorite Ottloenghi ingredients: Harissa.
- Some recipes take time. But often that just means, you need to roast something in the oven for 30-60 minutes. So while it takes time, it does not mean you need to be in the kitchen the entire time. Don’t let that stop you from trying the recipes. Time is oftentimes the secret to flavor.
