Ottolenghi Test Kitchen: Extra Good Things

"Everything restaurateur and cookbook author Yotam Ottolenghi touches takes on a life of its own, and the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen is no exception. Following last year’s Shelf Love, Noor Murad and the OTK team have set out again to “Ottolenghify” the plant-based palate – meaning each recipe gets a special extra: cinnamon almonds on the sweet and savory chicken pie, ginger pickle on the sambal tofu with cashews. Bookended by useful indexes, Extra Good Things brims over with an almost excessive exuberance: I don’t know why I needed to preheat my oven for the sambal, but I do know it was delicious."
