“If my first vegetable book, Plenty, was the honeymoon period, a great big party where certain vegetables – peppers, tomatoes, aubergines, mushrooms – got a whole chapter to themselves, Plenty More was all about process; ways in which the vegetables were treated. Flavour is the third book in the series: it’s about understanding what makes vegetables distinct and, accordingly, devising ways in which their flavours can be ramped up and tasted afresh; it’s about creating flavour bombs, especially designed for veg.
Whatever your preference might be (vegetarian, vegan or otherwise), I feel confident that you’ll find good reasons to join in my celebration of all the flavours vegetables have to offer. After years of writing about them, I have never ceased to be surprised.” YOTAM OTTOLENGHI
