Yotam Ottolenghi

In the organizer's words:

The British star chef live in Germany for the first time!

The inimitable chef and restaurateur Yotam Ottolenghi can be experienced live in Germany for the first time in fall 2024. At the beginning of November 2024, the celebrated international bestselling cookbook author will not only present his eagerly awaited new cookbook Comfort in Munich, Cologne and Hamburg, but will also reveal many valuable expert tips in conversation with his fans.

Yotam Ottolenghi's new book, Comfort, which will be published in the fall, is the most personal work by the Israeli-raised cook by choice since his groundbreaking publications Simple and Flavor. Live on stage, Yotam Ottolenghi explains in his pleasantly relaxed and likeable way how fans can spread the unmistakable Ottolenghi flair in their kitchen. He shows how they can create their own comforting dishes that are bursting with color, flavor, richness and sunshine.

Please note: The events are held in English.

At the shows, the audience will be immersed in the sweet world of desserts and learn about Yotam Ottolenghi's inspirations for comfort in conversation with a celebrity guest presenter. Ottolenghi will tell stories from his childhood, his travels and his homeland and how these formative experiences have been incorporated into his atmospheric comfort recipes: Each of these recipes celebrates the connections we make through cooking and the precious traditions that are passed down from generation to generation.

Yotam Ottolenghi on Comfort: "In this book, we present dishes that feel familiar yet fresh. It is also very much about our personal journeys and all the stories that these journeys create. Food and words have an incredible unifying power. We hope that these recipes become for the audience what they are for us: comforting and inspiring at the same time."

Yotam Ottolenghi is one of the most successful cookbook authors in the world, with nine bestsellers and 1.7 million books sold outside the UK alone. With the opportunity to ask Yotam Ottolenghi questions, these unique live events build a bridge between the author and the audience and promise a unique encounter that goes far beyond the pages of Comfort.
