Brand new hardcover cookbook with dustjacket, published May 2010. 288 pages

Yotam Ottolenghi has established himself as one of the most exciting new talents in the world of cookery and food writing, thanks to his fabulous restaurants and bestselling Ottolenghi Cookbook, which he co-authored with Sami Tamimi. This exclusive collection of vegetarian recipes was inspired by his column 'The New Vegetarian' for the Guardian's Weekend magazine, and features both brand-new recipes and dishes first devised for the column.

Yotam's food inspiration comes from his strong Mediterranean background and his unapologetic love of ingredients. Yotam isn't a vegetarian, but his approach to vegetable dishes is wholly original and innovative, based on strong flavours and stunning, fresh combinations. With sections devoted to cooking greens, aubergines, brassicas, rice and cereals, pasta and couscous, pulses, tofu, roots, squashes, onions, fruit, mushrooms and tomatoes, the breadth of colours, tastes and textures is extraordinary.

Featuring vibrant, daring food photography, stunning design, and with Yotam's voice and personality shining through, Plenty: Ottolenghi Vegetables is a must-have for meat-eaters and vegetarians alike.

About the authors

Yotam Ottolenghi's path to the world of cooking and baking has been anything but straightforward. Having completed a Masters degree in philosophy and literature whilst working on the news desk of an Israeli daily, he made a radical shift on coming to London in 1997. He started as an assistant pastry chef at the Capital and then worked at Kensington Place and Launceston Place, where he ran the pastry section. Yotam subsequently worked for Maison Blanc and then Baker and Spice, before starting his own eponymous group of restaurants/food shops, with branches in Notting Hill, Islington, Kensington and Belgravia. Yotam's other cookbooks, Ottolenghi, Jerusalem and Plenty More are also available - click here for more information
