Shelf Love is the first book by the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen. It’s for when you’re standing in front of your kitchen shelves, your cupboards and your fridges and wondering what to cook. It’s about rolling with the punches and putting together a delicious meal based on things you may have forgotten in your cupboards. They’re recipes with stories and personalities, with swap-outs and suggestions, recipes that say, without saying, ‘I’ll show you the rules, but here’s how to break them.’
We want you to take these recipes and make them your own, turning this cookbook into a handbook – one to write and scribble on, to stain with turmeric and fold down pages. We want this book to be that book: the most haggard-looking book on your shelves. We want, more than anything, for you to show this book some love. Shelf Love.
Each book is signed by both Yotam Ottolenghi and Noor Murad and includes digital access to the book, so you don’t have to carry it around the supermarket.
