Ottolenghi Simple Cookbook

Ottolenghi Simple by Yotam Ottolenghi distills the chef’s bold, Middle Eastern, inspirational cooking into an approachable, everyday format without sacrificing flavor or creativity. Featuring 130 streamlined recipes, the book is designed for modern home cooks, with each dish made simple in at least one way—whether it’s ready in 30 minutes or less, uses 10 ingredients or fewer, comes together in one pot, or relies on pantry staples.

The recipes span all meals and occasions, from vibrant brunch dishes to effortless weeknight dinners and elegant desserts. Signature Ottolenghi brightness and complexity shine through familiar ingredients elevated by spices, herbs, and smart flavor twists—think braised eggs with za’atar, vegetable salads, easy meat dishes, and unfussy yet impressive sweets. 

With abundant photography and clear guidance, Simple offers an accessible entry point into Ottolenghi’s cooking while remaining deeply satisfying for longtime fans. It proves that great food doesn’t have to be complicated and that even simple meals can feel exciting, generous, and memorable.

About Ottolenghi

Yotam Assaf Ottolenghi is an Israeli-born British chef, restaurateur, and acclaimed food writer. Together with Sami Tamimi, he co-owns nine delis and restaurants in London and Bicester Village and has authored a collection of bestselling cookbooks, including Ottolenghi: The Cookbook, Plenty, Jerusalem, and Simple.

In 2002, chefs Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi joined forces to create a space that was part food shop, part deli, part restaurant, and part bakery—yet not easily defined by any single label. Above all, it reflected their shared passion and near-obsessive love of food. From this beginning, Ottolenghi developed a distinctive culinary style rooted in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean traditions while embracing ingredients and influences from around the globe. Their dedication to celebrating vegetables and showcasing unique, unexpected flavors has inspired what many call “The Ottolenghi Effect”—a way of cooking that brings together color, abundance, vibrant flavor, and pure joy on the plate.
