Ottolenghi Test Kitchen 'Lima beans with pickled lemon, chili pepper and herbal oil'.

The cookbook Ottolenghi Test Kitchen 'Shelf Love', released in September 2021, is the first Ottolenghi OTK cookbook. Ottolenghi has taken a new direction with his Test Kitchen, 'Shelf Love' is the first of a series of books. He works with his team from a 'Test Kitchen' in London. Together with Noor Murad, he is working on a series of books that help you cook intuitively with products that you often have at home, a bag of corn in the freezer or a can of beans in the cupboard. Each recipe also states which other product you could vary with. And on each page a small corner to make your own notes for the adjustments you make to the dish yourself.

I've already seen a few recipes that I already know I'm going to love. Delicious comfort food such as 'The creamy hummus of your dreams' "Polenta with cheese and tomato sauce" and "Candied Tandoori frog peas'. And the delicious recipe of the ' Stuffed pointed peppers with polenta and cheese ' can be found here.
