Ottolenghi Test Kitchen Talk Comfort

Join us for the much-anticipated publication of Ottolenghi Comfort with co-authors Helen, Verena, and Tara to celebrate food, stories of home and the connections we make as we cook; from place to place and from person to person. They all bring their own memories, childhoods, and travels with them to explore what food comfort food means to them. Mac ’n’ cheese, ramen, schnitzel, sausages and mash, chicken noodle soup, lentils, rice, dhal, or dumplings - there is no one comfort- food-fits-all.

Food and words have the incredible power to connect. Their hope is that this new collection of recipes become for you what they are for them: reassuring but revelatory. The team will explore the four elements of comfort in the book: ‘Who we eat with’; ‘Why we eat’; ‘What we eat’ and finally ‘How we eat’ – as important as what we are eating in the first place.

Make a recipe a few times and it becomes habit. Make it enough and it becomes home. This is comfort food, Ottolenghi style.
