Day #2 of Bernadette’s terrific “Cookbook Confidential” reviews of Chef Otolenghi’s “Simple.”

As Bernadette posted:

This week, we are reviewing Otolenghi’s “Simple”. This is a terrific cookbook filled with mouth-watering recipes. The first guest review is from Michiel and Jeen, who write a fabulous food blog titled Cook and Drink. After reading their review, I know you will want to become a follower.

And you will indeed
!

Michel and Jeen then took over and gave us two recipes – and an entertianly honest and informative review as well!

As they posted:
