Yotam Ottolenghi’s brand-new cookbook, Ottolenghi SIMPLE, is our bestselling book of last week. Featuring the chef’s signature fresh and vibrant flavours, the 130 brand-new recipes in this book are designed for busy lifestyles.

Behrouz Boochani’s memoir about life in one of Australia’s refugee detention camps, No Friend But the Mountains, continues to be one of our top sellers. Described as a ‘a profound creative writing project and a strategic act of resistance’ by the Guardian, we urge everyone to read it.

Other popular books from the past week include new titles from historian and philosopher Yuval Noah Harari (21 Lessons for the 21st Century) and Irish author Sally Rooney (Normal People); a fresh and funny Australian debut for fans of The Rosie Project (The Helpline); and this year’s Miles Franklin winner (The Life to Come).
