Best-selling author and chef Yotam Ottolenghi joins us at ILFDublin for a very special Off the Page event to celebrate the release of his new book, OTTOLENGHI SIMPLE.

SIMPLE combines the fresh evocative ingredients and bold inventive flavours that Ottolenghi is loved for with easy-to-follow recipes that cater to kitchen gurus of all abilities with 140 brand-new dishes that contain all the inventive elements and flavour combinations that Ottolenghi is loved for, but with minimal hassle for maximum joy. OTTOLENGHI SIMPLE showcases Yotam’s standout dishes that will suit whatever type of cooking you find easy – whether that’s getting wonderful food on the table in under 30 minutes, using just one pot to make a delicious meal, or a flavoursome dish that can be prepared ahead and then served when you’re ready.

Yotam Ottolenghi is a cookery writer and chef-patron of the Ottolenghi delis and NOPI restaurant. He writes a weekly column in The Guardian’s Feast Magazine and a monthly column in The New York Times and has published six bestselling cookbooks: Plenty and Plenty More (his collection of vegetarian recipes); Ottolenghi: The Cookbook and Jerusalem co-authored with Sami Tamimi; and NOPI: The Cookbook with Ramael Scully. Sweet, with Helen Goh, is his baking and desserts cookbook. Yotam has made two ‘Mediterranean Feasts’ series for More 4, along with a BBC 4 documentary, ‘Jerusalem on a Plate’.

Don’t miss this chance to catch the man credited with “making the world love vegetables” in conversation!

The event will be chaired by food writer Aoife McElwain.
