It’s unsurprising that we have a mild cookbook addiction. The best of them provide an education in both food and culture as well as delicious – and successful – recipes, the lesser of the category provide pretty pictures and glimpses of ideas; Yotam Ottolenghi’s cookbooks somehow manage to do all of these things. They are beautiful, at times tactile, slices of culture filled with recipes that are failsafe. He lives in London where he runs a string of Delis and restaurants with his business partner Sami Tamimi, Ottolenghi is one of the preeminent faces (and palates) of modern Middle Eastern Cuisine. Born in Jerusalem of Italian and German heritage and now based in London, he has a broad cultural base from which his cuisine draws freely. He has won many awards for his restaurants and cookbooks, to include two James Beards; he is also a frequent food writer for the Guardian and has been featured on many BBC cooking programs. With ten cookbooks to choose from, we’ll have no shortage of tantalizing dishes to serve for this iteration of Family Meal – think a beautiful mezze spread, luscious hummus, kebabs, and veggies galore.
