Yotam Ottolenghi is widely loved for his beautiful, inspirational, and award-winning middle eastern flavoured cookbooks 🍽
Yotam Ottolenghi is heading to Leeds picture: Dave Kotinsky/Getty Imagesto study French cooking at Le Cordon Bleu.
The pair discovered they had grown up just a few miles apart on opposite sides of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, in Jerusalem. They became friends and eventual business partners, bonding over shared language and a joint “incomprehension of traditional English food”. The Ottolenghi brand has since expanded to include two more delis , a formal restaurant in Islington, a brasserie named NOPI in Soho, and a vegetable-centric restaurant named Rovi which opened in Fitzrovia in June 2018.
Eight more internationally bestselling volumes have followed: a collection of recipes exploring the flavours of his home-city, Jerusalem with Tamimi ; the vegetable cookbooks Plenty and Plenty More ; a cookbook from his acclaimed London restaurant, Nopi ; a dessert cookbook, Sweet ; Ottolenghi Simple ; and Ottolenghi Flavor .When he is not cooking, he oversees the day-to-day running of his business and makes occasional television programs.
He took the experiences people had during lockdown and the current cost of living crisis to write his most recent book Ottolenghi Test Kitchen: Shelf Love with Noor Murad and his next book, also with Noor Murad, will be Ottolenghi Test Kitchen: Extra Good Things . For Yotam Ottolenghi, food is about more than what we eat. It is about joy, pleasure, and surprise. It is about a sense of place and home. It is about commonality, an act which brings people together.
