Yotam Ottolenghi

Chef, Restaurateur and Food Writer

As chef, deli owner and food writer, Jerusalem-born Yotam Ottolenghi plays an influential role right across the food industry. In 2015 his fifth cookery book, Nopi, named after his Soho-based restaurant, joined his award-winning cannon. He discovered his passion for food after taking a course at Cordon Bleu, and he now has three Ottolenghi delis around London serving fresh salads, cakes and baked goods. An advocate of flavourful vegetarian dishes – though he eats and loves meat - he also writes weekly recipes for the Guardian. Though one of his closest collaborators, Sami Tamimi, is Palestinian, he is reluctant to be drawn on Middle Eastern politics, but is a champion of gay marriage and parenting, and he and his partner Karl are fathers to a son, Max.
