The Cookbook
It took us, Yotam and Sami, a whole year, and many hours of testing and tasting to put together our first collection of recipes. The Cookbook, finally out on the 1st of May 2008, is published by Ebury press, cover price £25. You can order it from Amazon, Play, Waterstone’s, or the publisher’s own rBbooks online shop.
The Cookbook is our first attempt at “summing up” Ottolenghi food for the home cook. The 140 recipes cover everything we do: our prominent salads and roast vegetable dishes, cold meat and fish, substantial main courses from our dinner menu in Islington, some of our wholesome breads and savoury pastries, and a good mixture of the sweets that distinctively adorn Ottolenghi’s windows. We encourage you to use this open window into our world.

I would love to buy your new book before the 30th April at the rBbooks online shop, but sadly it doesn't offer the 34% discount you say it does. Advice please? Thanks. Victoria.
Hi Victoria.
I have just added the promotional code DELI that you need to enter in order to buy the book at the discounted rate. I hope this works.
Enjoy the book!
Your cookbook is superb! By that I mean, from an aesthetic viewpoint but also practical recipes, well written, just enough of a personal/biography touch. I just love it! I own over 90 cookbooks from over the world (last purchase: 'Les secrets d'Alep', a historical cookery book about Aleppo in Syria and the development of middle-eastern food in that area) and yours will be a great addition and very well used. Your reputation reaches the US: Here is a very interesting cookery blog from California describing your book. Thank you for that great book and see you at one of your classes.

I wonder if the book is available anywhere in Canada. I tried the Chapters Indigo website, our major book seller but it is not listed online. Any
advice??

Your book is amazing! I tried a lot of your recipes and it works very well! All I cooked was delicious! Thank you so much! My only regret is that you did not write your pesto muffins!!
Thank you for your book!
Have tried to order today from rBbooks online, is the promotion code still valid?? Thanks, Lisa.
Lisa,
The promotional code was only valid prior to publication I am afraid.
You can get good deals on other website. I believe amazon will have the book in stock this week.
Valerie,
Thanks! I am delighted you are enjoying the book.
Pesto muffins? Maybe in the next book.
Yotam and Sami, congratulations on a truly superb book. Just when I assure myself that I do. not. need. any. more. cookbooks, along comes a must-have such as Ottolenghi.
Please forgive the shameless self-promotion (or even delete if you think it inappropriate) - Ottolenghi: The Cookbook is available in Australia on my website -

Best wishes from Australia, Judy
Read the article in The Observer last Sunday by Nigel Slater, checked out the web site & had to order the book & what a book - haven't put it down since it arrived yesterday ~(Thank you Amazon)
Got to do a posh picnic on Sat for Royal Ascot -got my menu done in no time thanks to your book and web site!
Can't wait to get cooking!
Thank you!
I loved eating at Ottolenghi when I worked in London on Upper Street and I can hardly wait to get my copy of your cookbook and try the recipes myself.
Thank you for the inspiration to cook vegetables well and full of flavour.

My children and I are always looking for great food when on holidays. We love your restaurant and when looking up your address to recommend to a friend traveling to London I noticed that you have a cook book out. I would love to purchase one. Is there a book shop in Sydney, Australia that sells them?
Are you ever considering opening in Sydney, you would be a great success.
Can't wait to visit you again when in London!

Is a US version of the cookbook going to be published? It looks like the one available on the US Amazon site is the UK edition, but thought I'd ask here at the source.
@ Judy Mather - By all means, promote your site and the book in Australia. I believe we have serious fans there. See Michelle below.
@ Linda Barber, Melissa Ferguson - Great to hear. Thank you.
@ Michelle Dalah - Have a look at Judy's comment above. I believe that Amazon UK will deliver to Australia though might be expensive. You can definitely order a copy at your local bookshop.
@ Hilary - I am afraid a US version is not available yet. Publishers are looking for an American partner but still in the process. Mind you, even if it does happen it will take a while. I guess you'd be having to convert grams to cups for a while. Best wishes.
