In Conversation with: Yotam Ottolenghi

Beloved for his innovative recipes that incorporate flavour-packed Middle Eastern ingredients, superstar chef Yotam Ottolenghi has become a household name the world over, and especially well-loved in Canada. And while countless home cooks have been inspired to integrate tahini, pomegranate molasses, za'atar and other Middle Eastern staples into their cooking, sometimes the long ingredients lists or hard-to-find recipe components relegate this recipes to weekend projects.

In Ottolenghi Simple, Ottolenghi presents a collection of delicious, pared-down dishes that are packed with his signature nuanced flavours, but in a way that's accessible for home cooks and weeknight dinners. Recipes like Roasted Baby Carrots with Harissa and Pomegranate, Roasted Red Onion and Chickpea Salad with Tomato and Tahini, and Spring Roast Chicken with Preserved Lemon are organized by type of dish (brunch dishes, soups, vegetables, grains and legumes, pasta, fish, meat, and desserts), making any meal brilliantly, deliciously simple.

Join George Brown College's Centre for Hospitality & Culinary Arts and Appetite by Random House for an exclusive 'In Conversation' event with Yotam, and learn from this celebrated figure in cooking and hospitality in an intimate on-stage discussion.

Afterwards, Yotam will sign books during a reception where you can sample dishes from his new book, Ottolenghi Simple, and much more. A copy of Ottolenghi Simple is also included with your Event Pass.

Yotam Ottolenghi is the author or co-author of the New York Times best-selling cookbooks Plenty, Plenty More, Ottolenghi, NOPI, Sweet, and Jerusalem, which was awarded Cookbook of the Year by the International Association of Culinary Professionals, and Best International Cookbook by the James Beard Foundation. Ottolenghi lives in London, where he owns an eponymous group of restaurants, and high-end restaurants Nopi and Rovi.
