I decided to change that and started a project to cook all the 150+ recipes from this book. In order to keep me motivated and share the experience with my friends and family I decided to start a blog to register my journey.
I don't have a deadline and timeframe but I will try to do at least one recipe a week. The posts will follow the format: intro, explaining why I chose the recipe; planning, describing how easy or hard it was to find the ingredients; prep, going through the challenges of preparing the recipe; taste, finally telling how it turned out.
There are two huge disclaimers here. First, I am not a professional chef or cook. I enjoy cooking at home and I hope that will be enough to accomplish this challenge. Second, one of the main reasons my brother gave me this book is because all recipes are vegetarian. Yes, I am a vegetarian. The chef is not a vegetarian but he became famous by his vegetarian recipes and the way he prepared and celebrated vegetables and grains. My husband and friends are not vegetarians so if may mention if there is a non-vegetarian side in the meal but it won't be prepared by me or described here. Then, I am not going to list the recipe here, that's not the point and this is not my recipe. If the recipe is available on Ottolenghi's website, I will link it, otherwise you will have to buy the book (it's worth it).
Finally, as I mentioned before, this blog is personal. I want to register my experience and share with friends and family. If you found this somewhere on the internet you are welcome to join and I will do my best to answer comments but can't promise to do that in a timely manner.
