Beloved for his innovative recipes that incorporate flavor-packed Middle Eastern ingredients, superstar chef Yotam Ottolenghi has become a household name the world over. And while countless home cooks have been inspired to integrate tahini, pomegranate molasses, za'atar, and other Middle Eastern staples into their cooking, sometimes the long ingredient lists or hard-to-find recipe components relegate this recipe to weekend projects. In simple, Ottolenghi presents a collection of delicious, pared-down dishes that are packed with his signature nuanced flavors, but none of the complexity. Recipes like Roasted Baby Carrots with Harissa and Pomegranate, Roasted Red Onion and Chickpea Salad with Tomato and Tahini, and Spring Roast Chicken with Preserved Lemon are organized by type of dish (brunch dishes, soups, vegetables, grains and legumes, pasta, fish, meat, and desserts), making any meal brilliantly, deliciously simple.
