About Yotam Ottolenghi: Simple Too LIVE
The bestselling author of Simple and Flavour, Yotam Ottolenghi, invites you to celebrate the release of his highly anticipated new cookbook, Simple Too, an irresistible companion to the era-defining Simple.
Yotam will be cooking live on stage, sharing the inspiration behind this beautifully crafted collection of brand-new vegetable-forward meals, tray-baked options, and delicious desserts—all designed to be made in under 30 minutes, cooked in one pot, or prepped ahead.
In an evening dedicated to simplifying the way we cook, Yotam will discuss how Simple Too carves out space for us to relax in the kitchen, bringing recipes to life on stage with colour, flavour, and joy.
He’ll reveal how even the simplest meals can feel full of abundance, sharing stories from his culinary journey and the philosophy that guides the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen.
A night founded on the Ottolenghi ideology: creativity made achievable for our everyday noisy world. Expect to leave inspired to embrace simplicity in your own kitchen with the pantry you’ve already built.
Yotam will answer your most-asked culinary questions, including: How do you make weeknight cooking more exciting? What are the building blocks of a well-stocked pantry? And how can simple ingredients create impressive flavour?
Yotam Ottolenghi is back to prove that flavourful, impressive cooking can be Simple Too!
Yotam Ottolenghi said, “Simple Too is an extension of Simple, but the two years I spent working on it also felt like a response to where our lives are right now, in this noisy and bustling world; a world full of options that can sometimes feel distracting or numbing.”
