Review:

"Ottolenghi, acclaimed British restaurateur and author of the Guardian's New Vegetarian column, offers a vibrant and versatile collection of mouth-watering dishes that elevate vegetables from paltry side-dish status to superstar prominence. He combines previously published recipes with an array of new offerings that spotlight everything from root vegetables and mushrooms to legumes and grains. Highlights include leek fritters, lentils with broiled eggplant, quinoa and grilled sourdough salad, and a stunningly gorgeous salad he calls tomato party that combines multicolored tomatoes, couscous, and several herbs. Greens, both cooked and raw, receive ample attention in dishes such as chard and saffron omelets, green pancakes with lime butter, and chard cakes with sorrel sauce. He dedicates entire chapters to eggplant and tomatoes, showing the versatility of these staples in a variety of preparations. Lentils are also given proper homage in dishes such as Puy lentil galettes and Catelluccio lentils with tomatoes and Gorgonzola. Most recipes are accompanied by dazzling full-color photos that are sure to whet the appetite. While Ottolenghi may not be a well-known name to American food lovers, this excellent collection will most likely put him on the map. (Apr.)" Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

People who pick up this book are destined to have the beautiful pictures and mouth-watering recipes captivate them whether they're an omnivore, vegetarian, or vegan. One flip through the pages illustrate how non-conventional yet still-appealing (if you have more traditional food tastes) these recipes are.

I've tried a handful of recipes: the soba noodles with aubergine and mango, green pancakes with lime butter, Tamara's ratatouille, and the lentil, asparagus, and watercress salad. Each dish has been unique, and each time I took a bite, it felt like a marriage of wonderful textures and flavors that I hadn't previously expected. You cannot go wrong with any recipe in this cookbook.

This is the cookbook I've been looking for without knowing it. I have cooked vegetarian food for years, and have 'used up' the Americanized style of vegetarian cooking found in most cookbooks here. This book progresses through wonderful ingredients that deserve and have gone from the 'exotic' to the 'ordinary'. They are now in their rightful place at the common plant based table. Nutritious and beautiful, savory and not completely reliant on dairy to make them rich....I cant' recommend this book enough for the new to vegetarian cooking, or those who have been at it awhile.
