ONE OF NPR’S BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR
Yotam Ottolenghi—the beloved chef who has captured the hearts of homecooks looking for inspiration and great-tasting cooking—is back. In Ottolenghi Comfort, he brings his inspiring, flavor-forward cooking to comfort dishes.
With game-changing low-lift recipes as well as recipes to spend an afternoon on, Ottolenghi Comfort presents creative dishes that are comfortable to both cook and eat. In more than 100 recipes, Ottolenghi—and co-authors Helen Goh, Verena Lochmuller, and Tara Wigley—bring together childhood memories and travels around the world, celebrating food and friends and the connections they build together, ones to pass on from generation to generation.
For Ottolenghi, a bowl of pasta becomes Caramelized Onion Orecchiette with Hazelnuts & Crispy Sage, a warming soup is Cheesy Bread Soup with Savoy Cabbage & Cavolo Nero, and potatoes are transformed into Garlicky Aligot Potato with Leeks & Thyme. In Comfort, he tackles everything from crepes to hummus; lamb meatloaf to quick ramen; savory rugelah to chocolate mousse.
This is a book filled with meals that are easy and exciting, familiar and fresh, new and nostalgic, revelatory yet reassuring.

Starred review from October 1, 2024
Ottolenghi, beloved chef and author of seven NYT-bestselling cookbooks, has written (with frequent collaborators Helen Goh, Verena Lochmuller, and Tara Wigley), a book that exemplifies and explores the meaning of comfort food, offering nostalgia, convenience, indulgence, and nurturing. The introduction sets the stage and mood for the mouth-watering and thoughtful delights, presented in Ottolenghi's well-known elevated approach and reassuring style. The book is divided into sections that are tightly focused, starting with eggs (featuring delights including Dutch baby with roasted tomatoes) and moving on to tantalizing breads, dishes with vegetables, main dishes featuring meat and poultry, pasta (Bolognese for all!), and scrumptious desserts (featuring a chocolate-ripple fridge cake to die for). Each recipe is introduced with an emphasis on comfort. The directions are easy to follow, and although the dishes require a bit of extra effort, all are more than worthwhile. The photography, unsurprisingly, is stellar and inviting, begging home cooks to dive in and create. A feast for the eyes along with the heart, mind, and belly. VERDICT This beautiful book ties hunger, taste, connection, and community together; it will be a welcome addition to all collections.--Ron Block
