A vegetable-forward cookbook built around reusable flavor boosters

Organized around the idea that a finished dish can also supply components for later meals, Extra Good Things pairs vegetable-forward recipes with homemade condiments, sauces, dressings, pickles, and crunchy toppings. The emphasis is on building a working pantry and refrigerator of adaptable additions: marinated feta, slow-cooked za’atar tomatoes, and a ginger-shallot-sesame panko topping are presented as ingredients with uses beyond their initial recipes. Across the collection, texture, acidity, heat, and color shape the approach, offering a practical framework for carrying prepared elements into salads, soups, pasta, and other everyday dishes.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Home cooks who want vegetable-centered Mediterranean-inspired recipes
  • Cooks interested in preparing sauces, pickles, toppings, and condiments for repeated use
  • Anyone looking to extend one cooking project across several meals

Extra Good Things is all about the secret culinary weapons--condiments, sauces, dressings, and more--that can make a good meal spectacular. The abundant, vegetable-forward recipes in this collection give you a delicious dish plus that special takeaway--a sauce, a sprinkle, a pickle!--that you can repurpose time and time again in other recipes throughout the week, with limitless opportunity. These extras help you stock your fridges and pantries the Ottolenghi way, so you can effortlessly accessorize your plates with pops of texture and color, acidity and heat, and all the magical flavor bombs that keep you coming back for more.

And this is where the fun really begins, with extras like marinated feta, featured in a dish of oven-braised chickpeas, that can then be spooned onto your favorite salad or swirled into soup. Slow-cooked za'atar tomatoes top a polenta pizza for dinner but will also make the best-ever bruschetta or pasta sauce. Or a crispy, crunchy panko topping full of ginger, shallots, and sesame that you first meet on soba noodles but you'll want to put on . . . well, just about everything.

Whether it's a spicy kick of pickled chile or an herbaceous salsa to lighten and brighten, Extra Good Things shows you how to fill your kitchen with adaptable, homemade ingredients that will make any dish undeniably "Ottolenghi."
