There are two versions of this cookbook but they do not include the differences in the description.
I was delighted to receive my latest Ottolenghi cookbook, Simple, a few weeks ago. I opened it and viewed several recipes only to find that all the measurements were written in the metric system. At first I thought I would convert each measurement and even though this cookbook is designed to be simple, the conversion would take a considerable amount of time. I went back to the Amazon book list and noticed now there were two different covers of the Simple cookbook. What was the difference?? I did not see an explanation anywhere of the difference(s). I received another Simple cookbook in the mail from my pre-ordering the book (and forgetting that I had ordered it) but this one had a different cover. Upon opening it, I saw that the measurements were in both Standard US and the metric system. Now happily I could use Simple for its original purpose of providing simple, wonderful recipes!!!! Buyer be careful!!!
