COPY ISBN
Oliver’s (5 Ingredients Mediterranean) latest cookbook, the 28th from the prolific author and TV personality, brings together an extensive collection of new recipes. The book is designed to serve as a unique source of inspiration in the endless sea of online and print recipe sources available to home cooks today. Divided into five lengthy chapters—“Midweek Meals,” “Weekend Wins,” “One-Pan Dinners,” “Pantry Love,” and “Delicious Desserts”—the recipes cover a variety of taste profiles, cultural traditions, preparation times, and levels of difficulty, and readers are sure to find something to suit their tastes. While the work does assume some basic familiarity with cooking, it will still appeal to readers of all experience levels. One of the title’s strong suits is the way in which many recipes build on one another or use elements from other recipes, making it a convenient option for those who like to meal prep as well. Photographs of each recipe from acclaimed photographer Loftus as well as extensive nutrition information on each recipe complete the volume.
VERDICT Oliver’s latest can find a place on the shelves of all home cooks. Perfect for all public libraries, even those without extensive cookbook collections.
