Yotam Ottolenghi, the acclaimed chef, food writer and restauranteur comes to the Colonial for an evening of conversation.
Ottolenghi is best known to food lovers around the globe for his acclaimed cookbooks, including “Ottolenghi Test Kitchen” and “Ottolenghi Flavor.” Since his debut cookbook, “Ottolenghi” in 2008, his books have sold over 1.5 million copies in North America and 5 million worldwide. A number of signed books will be available for purchase on-site from Harvard Book Store, Harvard Square’s independent bookstore.
Ottolenghi’s cookbooks have proven influential, with The New York Times noting they are widely imitated for their plain-spoken instructions and enticing photographs (overseen by Ottolenghi himself). They have been praised by Nigel Slater, David Lebovitz, Deborah Madison, Food & Wine and The Wall Street Journal. Mark Bittman said, “’Plenty’…is among the most generous and luxurious nonmeat cookbooks ever produced, one that instantly reminds us that you don’t need meat to produce over-the-top food.”
In 2014, the London Evening Standard noted Ottolenghi had “radically rewritten the way Londoners cook and eat,” while Bon Appétit wrote that he had “made the world love vegetables.” “Jerusalem” was awarded Cookbook of the Year by the International Association of Culinary Professionals and Best International Cookbook by the James Beard Foundation. Ottolenghi’s books have been named among the best books of the year by The New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle and NPR.
Ottolenghi grew up in Israel to parents of Italian and German descent and spent childhood summers in Italy. Long based in London, where he co-owns an eponymous group of deli shops and the fine dining restaurants NOPI and ROVI, Ottolenghi spends much of his time creating and testing recipes for his weekly column in The Guardian and monthly column in The New York Times. When he is not cooking, he oversees the day-to-day running of his business and makes occasional television programs. Family life with his husband and two young sons and Pilates are much-loved distractions.
