help Flavour FAQ

Is Ottolenghi Flavour a vegetarian cookbook?

Yes, Flavour is centered on vegetables and plant-based cooking, although some recipes may include dairy or eggs. Yotam Ottolenghi and Ixta Belfrage organize the 2020 book around processes, pairings, and produce.

What does Flavour mean by process, pairing, and produce?

Process covers techniques such as charring, browning, infusing, and aging that change an ingredient's taste. Pairing examines combinations that amplify one another, while produce focuses on the qualities of particular vegetables, mushrooms, nuts, and fruits.

Does Flavour require hard-to-find ingredients?

Some recipes use Ottolenghi-style pantry ingredients such as rose harissa, tamarind, miso, or black limes. The book also includes dishes built around ordinary produce, but cooks may need a specialty shop for the full range of flavors.

How is Flavour different from Plenty and Plenty More?

All three books emphasize vegetables, but Flavour is more explicitly structured around why food tastes complex. Belfrage's influence also brings ingredients and ideas associated with Mexican, Brazilian, Italian, and Southeast Asian cooking.
