5.0 out of 5 starsThe ratings on this website are a fraud!
Reviewed in Australia on 4 January 2021
Don't buy this book. The recipes all look delicious, but you will have to search hard to find several of the ingredients for almost all the dishes and some you may have to buy from overseas! Also, when I tried to select a one-star rating, the website refused to accept anything less the 4 stars!

3.0 out of 5 starsOttolenghi again
Reviewed in Australia on 24 September 2020
I have all the Ottolenghi books. This one is well researched and presented, but for me failed to hit the mark. I felt that the usual excitement that the books present is tired.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 September 2020
Verified Purchase
I was really looking forwards to the new Ottolenghi book as I particularly enjoyed Jerusalem, Plenty and Ottolenghi.

I am however disappointed with this book as I haven’t been excited by the recipes. There are very few recipes I want to cook. Also there are some very unappetising recipes like one with a soya-cured yolk and the potato and butter bean stew which looks like potatoes in a bowl of mud.

The book starts of listing 20 essential ingredients:
1) Aleppo chilli
2) Ancho chilli
3) Anchovies
4) Black garlic
5) Black lime
6) Cascabel chillies
7) Chipotle chilli
8) Fish sauce
9) Gochujang chilli paste
10) Ground cardamom
11) Hibiscus flowers
12) Jarred butter beans
13) Mango pickle
14) Masa harina
15) Miso
16) Red bell pepper flakes
17) Rice vinegar
18) Rose harissa
19) Shaoxing
20) Tamarind paste

The book is then divided into three sections:
1) Process
2) Pairing
3) Produce

Which are then broken down further:

Process:
-Charring
-Browning
-Infusing
-Aging

Pairing:
-Sweetness
-Fat
-Acidity
-Chilli heat

Produce:
-Mushrooms
-Alliums
-Nuts and seeds
-Sugar, fruit and booze

I’m sure there will be some die-hard Ottolenghi fans out there who will like it, though this one is not for me (and I have all his other books)

1.0 out of 5 stars Disppointing and complicated
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 September 2020

I am so disappointed with this book. I have 5 other Ottolenghi cookbooks which LOVE. This book requires you to fill your pantry with complex ingredients and is not at all what I was expecting based on what I read. I was promised big flavour and easy midweek meals; If you are expecting mushroom ketchup, ginger cream and numbing oil, chamoy, black lime tofu and soy cured yolk- then this is for you. If I didn’t live out of the UK I would return it. So disappointing, Yotam. :(

1.0 out of 5 stars Damaged book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 December 2020
Verified Purchase
The book itself is ideal - no complaints. However - terribly damaged upon arrival!!

The item arrived in an large cardboard box where it had no bubble wrap/cover/padding/protection - literally just the book in a large cardboard box. It was no surprise that the book itself was battered and bruised with grey smudge marks and a badly damaged cover. Terrible condition - it looks like it had been dragged along a road, definitely not a 'new'.

Great book - bought as a present for my girlfriend. But really disappointed by the chip in the corner - a shame because it’s not much cheaper on here. Should have used my local independent - no way of complaining about this at Amazon. Not happy.

The book arrived so damaged - it was a joke. Weird marks all over it and damaged spine and corners. Bought as a gift and have to return it and now am present-less. What a disappointment.
