Final Errata Sheet for Sweet by Ottolenghi

As you are aware, there were errors made in regard to temperatures and measurements when converting the recipes from the UK edition of Sweet by Yotam Ottolenghi and Helen to the US and Canadian versions. I covered this unfortunate situation back in December and have kept that post updated.

The publisher contacted me today with the following information: after careful retesting of the US/CA versions in preparation for the reprint order, there are a few additional corrections to note as set forth below.

Again, anyone requesting a replacement copy of the book with the US/CA cover shown above should email sweet@tenspeed.com. If you have already emailed them, you do not need to do so again.  I confirmed with the publisher that if you have emailed them your receipt and information you are good – you will not get a reply back unless they require additional information.

This language from Ten Speed outlines further instructions that you need to provide when emailing: 

Please accept our sincere apologies for the errors in your copy of “Sweet” by Yotam Ottolenghi. If you would like a refund or a replacement copy, please send your name, complete street address, city, state and zip (please no P.O. Box address permitted) to this email address: sweet@tenspeed.com.

us the following:

barcode

Photograph of your receipt

If you have a signed edition, please include with your one proof of purchase, a photograph of the page with the author’s signature. If you have received this book as gift or have thrown out the receipt, please email us with regard to same.

Again, our apologies for the error and any inconvenience this may have caused you.

A reminder that we are baking our way through this magnificent book over at the Eat Your Books Sweet Cookbook Club on Facebook. I’ve made six desserts so far and they have all been delicious. Place a copy of the errata sheet in your cookbook until the corrected reprint is shipped later this Spring. In the grand scheme of things, this is an inconvenience that will be made right by the publisher. Do not let this keep you from enjoying the
recipes (with noted corrections) until your replacement version arrives.

The errata sheet is no longer available on the publisher website but reads as follows:
