Ottolenghi Test Kitchen: Shelf Love

by Yotam Ottolenghi

Ottolenghi recipes are phenomenal, but some of his earlier books were quite demanding in terms of time and ingredients required to pull them off. The Ottolenghi Test Kitchen books—including Shelf Love (2021) and, more recently, Extra Good Things—are a great way to get good recipes while being more realistic about what most people can achieve in the kitchen after a long day’s work. Guides at the back of the book lead you to recipes that (say) can be made in under an hour or are kid-friendly, vegetarian or vegan or easily-veganized etc.
