I'll start by saying I am no chef!!!
I am competent in the kitchen, I enjoy cooking for me and my family and will always make something from scratch if we have visitors coming. I am probably middle of the road with regards to being adventurous with the recipes I use. I don't attempt much far east (Japanese/Thai/Chinese) cuisine but will have a good go at an Indian curry.
So, to get to the point, I have just signed up to the eat your books website, which is great, and was browsing other recipe books and came across some books by Yotam Ottolenghi - which is the 3 most popular books owned by other members of the website
I'm intrigued but I also don't like wasting money. There's clearly a reason why they are so popular????
Can anyone who has any of these books, Plenty, Jerusalem and Simple, tell me why I should buy one of these books? What's so brilliant about them? Are the recipes "wow" or are they just easy? Are people buying them because others have?
I'm not a vegetarian and tend to always have meat with a meal but am not opposed to any meal if it's really good - meat or not!
I have two under two so I don't want 5000 Ingredients for a mediocre meal but put in the effort for a recipe which is really good!!
Sorry, rather long winded
