“Needless to say, everything Ottolenghi touches turns to gold — all well-earned and deserved. He has played a major role in changing how people cook and how much more adventurous in the kitchen they are now. ” — The Boston GlobeSpend a delicious evening with Yotam Ottolenghi as he talks about his new book, COMFORT, in this fun and participatory event. Live on stage, Yotam will take the audience through COMFORT (from eggs, to noodles, to roast chicken, to a wide array of cultural and culinary themes), in conversation with his host, American chef Nancy Silverton, and will invite the audience to participate in a second half as he prepares one of his dishes. Just as food brings people together, this event combines the culinary innovation of Ottolenghi with suggestions and questions from the audience (that’s you!) to create a one-off live experience. Yotam will undoubtedly share some childhood stories, his passion for layered dishes with bold flavors and colorful ingredients, and his influences from across the world.
Yotam Ottolenghi is a celebrated chef and bestselling cookbook author. He is the restaurateur and chef-patron of six London-based Ottolenghi delis, as well as the NOPI and ROVI restaurants. He is the author of ten bestselling and multi-award-winning cookbooks. Yotam has been a weekly columnist for The Guardian (UK) for over sixteen years and is a regular contributor to The New York Times. His commitment to the championing of vegetables, as well as ingredients once seen as “exotic,” has led to what some call “The Ottolenghi effect.” This is shorthand for the creation of a meal which is full of color, flavor, bounty, and surprise.
Nancy Silverton (Host) , co-owner of the Mozza Restaurant Group, oversees Michelin-starred Osteria Mozza, Pizzeria Mozza, Mozza2Go, and chi SPACCA in Los Angeles, plus Pizzeria Mozza Newport Beach. She has international restaurants in Los Cabos, London, Singapore, and Riyadh, and plans to open in Washington, DC, in 2024. In 2014, she won the James Beard Foundation's "Outstanding Chef" award and was named one of the Most Innovative Women in Food & Drink by Fortune and Food & Wine magazines. Featured in Netflix’s Chef’s Table (2017) and Masterclass' G.O.A.T. series (2023), she has authored eleven cookbooks, with The Cookie That Changed My Life (2023) hitting The New York Times bestseller list.
