Plenty

Recommendations from our site

Plenty (2010) is Yotam Ottolenghi’s vegetarian cookbook, based on recipes he published in the Guardian newspaper. It was followed by another vegetarian cookbook: Plenty More (2014). These are complex recipes, with many ingredients, perfect if you have lots of time and energy to make a wonderful meal. (If you’re not a purist, or don’t have the time, it may also be worth looking at some of Ottolenghi’s recent books, especially the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen series. These are easier to follow and while not exclusively vegetarian have a guide at the back for vegetarian and vegan meals)

The Best Vegetarian Cookbooks

The book, according to the author

“A few years ago, I got the brief to write a vegetarian column for the Guardian.  I’m not a vegetarian, so I wanted to write the column as a challenge – and I must say it was a bit of a challenge. The idea of having to cook exclusively with vegetables was initially a difficult concept. To start with, I had plenty of ideas, but after about six months I realised I was sort of running out of things…Plenty is really a result of my Guardian column, and it offers a selection of the recipes I’ve presented there.”
