Fabulous book, Good Housekeeping

Simple food in a way that is undeniably Ottolenghi - in other words beautiful and delicious, Evening Standard

Simple, proves that taking a less complicated approach to cooking needn’t mean losing out on flavour. Try these new recipes for an easier route to mealtime nirvana, Delicious magazine

[Yotam Ottolenghi’s] latest title, Ottolenghi Simple is a thrill. I particularly adored the pasta with pecorino and pistachios, lamb with almonds and orange blossom, and baked rice with tomato confit and garlic. Many of the recipes have fewer than 10 ingredients and can be made in under 30 minutes. While a lot of cookbooks meet these criteria, few have Mr. Ottolenghi’s far-ranging flair, Melissa Clark, New York Times

Fantastic. Scintillating flavours . . . dishes you can cook with ease -- Diana Henry, Sunday Telegraph

An excellent book - well worth finding a home in your kitchen, or a welcome gift

Reviewed in Australia on 18 January 2020

Verified Purchase

Mr Ottolenghi has become well known as an eminent chef, with appearances on Australian MasterChef and publication of several excellent cookbooks.

This one is well worth your consideration - it offers some tempting recipes and cooking inspirations, with a focus on simplicity and ease of preparation.

The results are excellent, and following the directions is easy and logical.

And, it’s a gift that keeps on giving: tucked away in each copy is a secret code for personalised access to a special website, with more interesting information!

There are so many cookbooks these days! This one has the value to justify a place in your kitchen. Or, a great gift, either for the Ottolenghi aficionado, the cooking enthusiast or for someone embarking on doing their own cooking - it will build their confidence!

Easy & delicious recipes

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 September 2018

I have a couple of other Ottolenghi books but I’ve been really looking forward to this one for the promise of it being “Simple” and it is perfect! This is one of those rare cookbooks where you want to cook almost everything. We’ve already tried four recipes and all have been really delicious and we haven’t even had to buy anything special.

Not so simple

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 October 2018

Verified Purchase

I don’t normally write reviews but felt I had to in this case. I have purchased Otto Lemghi cookbooks before and the recipes taste fantastic but have lots of ingredients and require a ridiculous amount of chopping etc. Hence when I saw ‘Simple’ I thought ‘fanstistic! Great recipes without all the faff’. Unfortunately I was wrong. The recipes I have made so far require a lot of prep, e.g chopping 30-50g each of 3-4 different herbs which involves picking off the leaves from the stalks etc. Which unfortunately takes ages!
So the recipes taste good but the simple title does not mean quick!

Simply Wonderful

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 October 2018

Brilliant quality and substantial book. Lots of recipe ideas that I can adapt for my own family preferences. I would criticise the price of some ingredients...'Rose Harissa' as an example. Not everyone can afford this as just one ingredient in a recipe. Some substitution required but also good for introducing these new ingredients that we can try when we can.
A really good book.

Fantastic book for recipes which are both ‘simple’ and tasty. Ottolenghi doesn’t do bland food and this book is testament to just that. The recipes are also visually stunning on the plate and wonderful for casual entertaining, especially where time is limited.

Adaptable recipes for the gluten-intolerant

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 December 2018

Verified Purchase

Normally when you see the name Ottolenghi, you’re thinking amazing... but complicated. His version here of SIMPLE cooking is an acronym: Short on time, 10 Ingredients or less, Make ahead, Pantry, Lazy, Easier that you think and each is colour-coded.

The recipes have beautiful photos to show you what you’re aiming for (I find if I don’t have a picture to go with a recipe, I have no incentive to make it) and the recipes are pretty straight-forward, as the title would suggest.

As someone who is gluten intolerant there are a number of recipes that have to be adapted but actually there’s still a lot here I can eat, which is nice - new ways of doing raw and cooked vegeatables are always welcome (for example the Hot Charred Cherry Tomatoes with Cold Yoghurt) and I absolutely love the Bridget Jones’s pan-fried salmon. I had to ignore a whole chapter on noodles and pasta and also largely steered clear of the deserts.

I still gave this book 5 stars because of its simplicity and wonderful culinary ideas and after all, it doesn’t set out to be a GF cookbook.

I have been waiting for this cookbook ever since it was announced, and I’m not disappointed. Simply glorious recipes for lots of vegetables and grains. Wish there were a Kindle version, though. The free online version is nice, but difficult to use. Their website needs some work.

I have one of Yotam's earlier books but some of the recipes are just too long for me to follow. Although, I love to cook i sometimes lose interest if here are lots of elements to one recipe that I have to do!
Simple is wonderful - as much a look-through book, admiring the recipe images as it is a cookbook to cook from. I've got a few of the pages earmarked already (some of the 10 ingredients or less recipes) and I'm really looking forward to trying these out on friends and family.

I Have Them All, Here's My Verdict

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 January 2019

Verified Purchase

As a long time fan of Ottolenghi, replicating many outstanding recipes from his books, TV shows and from his Guardian publications. I've always received many compliments and recommended his cookbooks to many a keen chef. I often use his books for gifting to young couples moving on to the next chapter of their lives together.

I have tried a few recipes from this book. I am by no means a novice I have found the recipes I've tried as too heavily fusion, such as the Mustardy Cauliflower Cheese, page 92. A cross on Aloo Gobi (which he fails to mention or worse even, accept ) and with the epitome of comfort food- in my opinion - Cauliflower Cheese.

I stuck to the recipe to the tee. I feel one cannot review a recipe conclusively unless this is done.

The dish was a massive fail, to say the least.
The flavours just didn't mingle, the use of curry powder, chillies and cumin, even whole black mustard seed is just plain wrong. Cheddar cheese is not Indian, nor is a parsley and breadcrumbs gratin. It was so off the mark, that I had to look again at the cover to ensure I had grabbed an Ottolenghi book. I felt as though the recipe drying team had tried to hard to replicate two opposing dishes into one amalgamation.

The friend I cooked for, a novice cook, who is more of a taster. Which I think helps as he can skip the delicate nuance of ingredients and judge dishes for what they are. Remarked that he thought it seems like Ottolenghi was trying to fill the pages to sell the book on his brand name.

I agree with this entirely. Sorry Ottolenghi. On the plus, I'm not giving up on this book entirely, I'm almost certain there's a hidden gem in there. Somewhere.

S-I-M-P-L-E is Meh

Reviewed in Canada on 17 January 2019

Verified Purchase

Firstly, I am not opposed to complex mixes of spices, or multi-step recipes or even exotic ingredients (I collect those--squid ink anyone?)--but I do judge food based on a simple formula: Deliciousness divided by Effort. As usual, Ottolenghi doesn't understand that less is more. And when you need to source black garlic, barberries, baharat (that he doesn't even define), za'atar (OK so I had that), pomegranate molasses ( I had that too), lebanese tahini (not greek), Urfa biber chilis, fresh basil (impossible in winter--as tasteless as a winter tomato), fresh dill, fresh parsley, fresh coriander (OK those I have too but they are perishable)...well, after all that shopping, the taste better be worth it. And so far, it's not--the flavors are good, but the effort for what you get generally isn't worth it. There are many recipes with raw veg that I haven't tried yet because it is winter, but I'm steering clear of things that require tasty tomatoes or fresh baby zucchini until the summer.
Overall the images are nice, but the recipes are not carefully written (a philosophy of dirtying extra bowls makes no sense to me) often with more steps than necessary or with weird measurements (2 cups + 2 tablespoons when it's just not needed). Bottom line-- when it comes to a punch of flavor with simplicity and efficiency of execution, Madhur Jaffrey blows Ottolenghi out of the water, as does Nigella Lawson, Melissa Clark, Mark Bittman. And for the record, when you make up a complicated acronym to argue simplicity (with S standing for "short on time", I standing for "10 ingredients or less" M for "make ahead" and I forget PLE...), it's clear you don't understand simplicity.

I cook a lot of vegetarian food, although we are not vegetarians. Having read the reviews of this book I decided that yes I could justify yet another cookery book. I am so glad that I bought this - it really does have some wonderful recipes in it both for vegetarian and non vegetarian readers. Have done a couple already and am looking forward to working my way through the book. BUY IT - it's worth it. It really is quite SIMPLE.

Marvellous modern cookery book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 April 2019

Verified Purchase

Ottolenghi has been quoted as saying his cooking is aimed at ‘drama in the mouth.’ Simple is an acronym for Short on time, Ingredients ten or less, Make ahead, Pantry (meaning basic stock ingredients), Lazy, Easier than you think. The recipes are very clear and easy to follow. There are beautiful photographic illustrations of the dishes. There is a wide range of recipes, including salads, cooked vegetables, eggs, chicken, fish, lamb, pasta, cakes and desserts. I have tried several recipes, had easy and delicious results, and then repeated my favourites. I have also taken inspiration from a carrot salad recipe and combined some of the ingredients (cinnamon, dill, coriander, cider vinegar, garlic and honey) with carrots and, instead of making a salad, I added stock and managed to turn these flavours into a delicious soup. Many, but not all, of the recipes include suggestions for suitable accompaniments. This would have been very useful to include with the recipe for the rich and delicious chicken Marbella, but all is not lost because there is a section on Meal Suggestions at the end of the book where you can find suggestions for vegetables or salad which would go well with the delicious and easy date, olive and caper ingredients in the chicken Marbella marinade. The cross-referencing in this section is really helpful. Finally, the book is sturdy and robust enough to survive splashes and steam in the kitchen. It’s a marvellous modern recipe book, truly a gateway to ‘drama in the mouth’ for those who aspire to fit delicious cooking into an otherwise very busy life.

I have 2 of his other books, and they are really exacting. You have to source ridiculous amounts of hard to find ingredients, and follow what he says EXACTLY to get it right. This semi criticism is clearly something he has listened to from his devotees.
In this, he has simplified, so I not only have one for myself, but have also bought one for my daughter. This is THE go to for all my cooking at the moment, and every time, its a triumph of delicious, but reasonably easy to achieve. A master class of a book.

One of the best cookbooks you could own

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 October 2018

Verified Purchase

This book is fantastic. Yes, there are some ingredients you may not necessarily have to start off with, but once in the store cupboard/fridge they are there and transfer into so many of the recipes. I am pescetarian and subbed things like chicken for quorn or other vegetarian alternatives. I was suprised at how some of the recipes with seemingly minimal spices/flavourings packed so much taste. I would highly recommend this book to everyone, especially if you are in a bit of a rut when it comes to interesting & tasty meals with minimum time/effort.
