Simple

Just in time for the weekend the library has received one of its big green boxes.  

Usually once or twice a week the library gets a delivery from our Central Services Unit (CSU) in Rathmines, where all the orders for books and magazines get delivered. Once the lovely library elves over in the CSU catalogue, and process the new materials they send us a big green box. When the box is full it feels a bit like Christmas. When we get our items we process them further and then make them available! We even put some of the nicest ones on the new book stand by the front desk. 

Since it is late in the year, we don't have much time left for orders, but we are still getting stuff in. Today we received Ottolenghi Simple, Yotam Ottolenghi's newest cookbook. 
The concept for this cookbook was to make cooking more accessible for people short on time, or ingredients, but still want to eat good food. To make things easier Ottolenghi has marked the recipes with the signifiers: S.I.M.P.L.E (Short on time, 10 ingredients or less, Make ahead, Pantry, Lazy, and Easier than you think). After browsing through this cookbook, I am sold. The recipes have easy to source ingredients, I didn't see any recipes with more than 6 steps, and the pictures of the foods inside were enough to make me hungry even after just eating lunch.

Ottolenghi's other works include: Sweet, Plenty, and Jerusalem.

If you would like to borrow this particular cookbook it can be found at shelf mark 641.555 OTT.

Come and visit us soon, or you might just have to wait in line!
