Experience Yotam Ottolenghi’s wholly original approach to Middle Eastern-inspired, vegetable-centric cooking with over 280 recipes in a deluxe boxed set of the beloved New York Times bestselling cookbooks Plenty More and Ottolenghi Simple, now in paperback for the first time.

From powerhouse chef and author Yotam Ottolenghi, with over five million book copies sold, comes this collection of two fan favourites in collectible paperback covers. These visually stunning books feature over 280 recipes—spanning every meal from breakfast to dessert, including snacks and sides—showcasing Yotam’s trademark dazzling, boldly flavoured, Middle Eastern cooking style.

Full of weeknight winners, for vegetarians and omnivores alike, such as Braised Eggs with Leeks and Za’atar, Polenta Chips with Avocado and Yogurt, Lamb and Feta Meatballs, Baked Orzo with Mozzarella and Oregano, and Halvah Ice Cream with Chocolate Sauce and Roasted Peanuts, Essential Ottolenghi includes:

Plenty More: More than 150 dazzling recipes emphasising spices, seasonality, and bold flavours. Organised by cooking method, from inspired salads to hearty main dishes and luscious desserts, this collection will change the way you cook and eat vegetables.

Ottolenghi Simple: These 130 streamlined recipes, packed with Yotam’s famous flavours, are all simple in at least (and often more than) one way: made in thirty minutes or less, with ten or fewer ingredients, in a single pot, using pantry staples, or prepared ahead of time for brilliantly, deliciously simple meals.
