Loved this book -- so so good for visual and practical . Used loads of times in the month I own it and I have rarely done that before. Fab present !
 Design detracts from recipes October 29, 2008

I'm sorry but I found the design of this book really irritating! The pages are too narrow, while white space paddles around cramped text.
I am sure the recipes are divine, and when I stop being annoyed by the layout, I'll tackle one!
GREAT BOOK - GREAT REVIEWS October 29, 2008

Among all books recently published, this one is really written for the cook(amateur or professional) and not to show how great this or that chef is. The book is full of great and inspiring ideas and the food full of astonishing flavors. You read the book and few minutes later you are in the kitchen cooking. Thanks for this really good and honest cookbook.
My most often used cookbook by far October 19, 2008

This is a truly fantastic book. Beautifully presented and a joy to read. If I were to work out a cost per use, it would equate to about 0.12p!
The Otto guys just cook the sort of food I love - they describe some 'star' ingredients such as garlic, lemon, fresh herbs, yoghurt, sumac and pomegranate as their basic building blocks - and their style of fresh, delicious, Med/Middle Eastern food is brilliant, accessible and inspiring.
If you have visited one of their London shops, you will know about their impressive window displays; towers of meringues, piles of gooey brownies and bountiful platters of cupcakes and muffins. Their savoury offerings - (including lots of enormous, beautiful salads) are just as awe-inspiring. This book will not only show you how to mimic these amazing dishes, but more usefully will teach you how to understand and use some more unusual ingredients like za'atar and pomegranate molasses. I have found that the techniques I have learnt from the book have infiltrated so much of my cooking, that the value of the book goes well beyond the recipes printed in it.
You'll soon be shopping for ingredients you previously didn't know about but are now staples in your cupboard!
By far my most often used cookbook.

I was at a friends and flicked through this book and began to drool! I scribbled down two recipes that night which I recreated that week. They were fantastic and I bought the book. Every single recipe screams 'Try me, you'll love me!' and I do.
