A good friend of mine showed me the Plenty by Yotam Ottolenghi cookbook back in December and I immediately ordered it . It arrived before christmas, I had a short look through it and wondered why I ordered it -  didn't speak to me at all.

Months later, when the days were getting longer and warmer, I picked it up again and had the immediate urge to start cooking. This is the sort of cook book that inspires me , I only have to look at the pictures and my brain starts cooking. For several weeks I was cooking Ottolenghi style with out ever reading a recipe - only looking at the pictures.

Plenty is Yotam Ottolenghis second vegetarian cook book and it's a must have !

Ottolenghi's Guardian "the new vegetarian" column is always a good read too.
