These are Molly Yeh‘s 12 must have cookbooks - drawn by the wonderful Jane Mount. Might pull my books out this weekend to pile up my favourite 12!

Crazeedi That's a great idea! 2y
Mitch @Crazeedi looking forward to a Sunday afternoon sitting on the floor surrounded by books! 2y
Amandajoy I‘m interested to see what your favorite cookbooks are! 2y

So.... #letterJ was an odd one... just one kids classic, an awesome Ottolenghi cookbook and 18 Jamie Olivers! (And BTW my #LetterK stack is a big fat zero!)

SamAnne I cook out of Jerusalem all the time. 4y
LeahBergen 18!! 😆 👏🏻👏🏻 4y
Freespirit Wow you have all of Jaime‘s books! 4y
BarbaraBB The J for Jamie! Of course ❤️ 4y
KarenUK @freespirit not quite all but most! It does look like I‘m obsessed, doesn‘t it 😂😂 @leahbergen but a lot of them were gifts, honest! 😊 4y

I've made four recipes out of this book over the last two days and they all came out great. Some ingredients are listed by lb/oz, which can be annoying, but overall a great #cookbookclub read.

My husband got me this book for Christmas and the recipes I've cooked so far are 🔥🔥🔥. Plus we've gone meatless for Lent and the vegetable dishes in here are amazing - particularly 1) the eggplant with fried onions and 2) butternut squash and red onion with tahini. I want to throw a party with nothing but room-temperature veggie dishes on the menu - sooo easy.

Ellen We have all the Ottolenghi cookbooks and I think this one is the favorite of my husband (the chef) 6y
AmyG My daughter loves this cookbook. 6y
Audrey This one is my fave of his cookbooks. 6y

Day 23 #AugustGrrrl Next week at this time I'll be back under the Mediterranean sky, sipping Turkish coffee and enjoying the amazing cuisine #BonAppetit or better yet.... be'te-avon (see, I do know some Hebrew😂) Yotam Ottolenghi is a local chef and has really put Israel on the culinary map as a foodie destination 🙌🏻

TheKidUpstairs I received Plenty More as a gift from a friend of my patents who knew I loved to cook. I haven't tried anything from it yet, but it's BEAUTIFUL to look at! 7y
Cinfhen I agree it is gorgeous to look through but the ingredient list 😱😱it's not easy @TheKidUpstairs but I found the few recipes I made worth the effort 😋 7y
BarbaraBB I also considered posting an Ottolenghi! Love his recipes. Are you going to Israël? Great! (edited) 7y

rockpools Yum. His books are gorgeous! 7y
AmandaL I was going to use these exact books for today's prompt! 😂 7y
BarbaraBB Oh really, you do live there now? I thought you were in the US. How interesting. And an adventure indeed 🙃🙂 7y
DebinHawaii Great pick! You know I think the man is a god 😆and this is my favorite of his cookbooks. Although I swear, once you get beyond the ingredient list, most of the recipes are not that complex. The barley risotto and the fruit crumble cream are two of my favorites. 😋🍽 7y
Cinfhen I've been in the states ALL summer...heading back on Monday @BarbaraBB I will need to check out those recipes @DebinHawaii I've never made risotto and I'm not sure that I've tried his fruit crumble ( yum!!!! Love me a good crumble) 💖💖💖 7y
AmyG Ottolenghi's recipies are wonderful. 7y
Lmstraubie Sounds delightful! 7y

#photoadaynov16 #cookbooklove I'm excited for this challenge because nothing thrills me more than drooling over gorgeous cookbooks and discovering new recipes. Unfortunately, when I moved overseas, my amazing cookbook collection did not make the journey with me 😩Hubby convinced me, every recipe I could ever want is available on the internet...kinda true. Anyway, here are 2 favorites that will hopefully rejoin me one day.

LeahBergen I've been wanting Jerusalem for ages! I'll add it to my Xmas wish list. 😉 7y
Cinfhen @LeahBergen His cookbooks are really stunning! I call it food art, but recipes and ingredients can be tricky and expensive😬 still for the pictures and stories alone, it's worth it...especially if it's a gift 😉 7y
LiaMahony Jerusalem is amazing. Love that book. 7y

#Day13 #AugustPhotoChallenge #bookstacks So many stacks to choose from... 😬 I decided to show you the shelf in my living/dining room--comprised of PART of my cookbooks & my bookmail/review/current TBR stack. I'm in the slow process of pruning it down, so you can actually see the artwork behind. And, because EVERYONE who see it asks-Yes, the bench bows in the center like that naturally, not because of. the books! 📚📚📚 #cookbooks #AugustofPages

lisakoby Heeellloooo baby! 8y
DebinHawaii And while I can't pick a favorite cookbook, Jerusalem and really any Yotam Ottolenghi cookbook would be in the top choices for sure. The man is a genius of flavors and ingredients! ❤️😀📚 8y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa The prints are gorgeous! And yes, I was going to say your books are bowing the table! 😂 8y
DebinHawaii @Hooked_on_books @elkeo @Riveted_Reader_Melissa It was designed with the center bowed & the slight arch on the ends but everyone who comes into my house for the first time asks (or tells) me about it. Sometimes just for fun I pretend to never have noticed it before and be completely shocked/panicked about it 🙀😹😺 8y
Hooked_on_books That's awesome! I love that you do that. 😂 8y

My #recommendsday pick is a cookbook. Pick it up for magnificent recipes. Read it for the charming and illuminating stories and background blurbs with each recipe. Oh, the pictures are stunning, too.
