Ottolenghi Simple focuses on easy, simple recipes with 10 ingredients or fewer that can be made in 30 minutes. It’s a favorite of both Iu and Eliza Savage, RD, a nutritionist based in New York City, who also love the book’s emphasis on herbs and spices to amplify flavor and add nutritional benefits.
“For example, the pan-fried salmon with pine nut salsa is a great Mediterranean dish that combines currants, celery, pine nuts, capers, olives, saffron, parsley, and lemon to create a salsa that pumps up the flavor of omega-3-packed salmon,” says Savage.
