    I love Ottolenghi and Plenty, too! (And I bought a copy of “Ripe” for my sister, but somehow I don’t think she appreciates it as much as I would have… maybe I should “borrow” it back.) I really recommend Deborah Madison’s Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone—glad to see it on your list! (And glad to have discovered your blog, by the way!) :)
