About this episode
London chef and author Yotam Ottolenghi puts out cookbooks that meet at the intersection of practical and cool—with a recipe development process that is part Warhol’s Factory, part Bon Appétit Test Kitchen, and pure Ottolenghi. After tackling baking with his terrific book Sweet , and before that putting Israeli cooking on the international stage with Jerusalem , he most recently tackled the concept of comfort with his incredible new book Comfort . In this conversation, we consider the many ways comfort food is served around the world, and how personal preference plays a major part in the quest for ultimate comfort. The result is a conversation that circles the globe and brings one of my all-time favorite recipe writers into focus. Do you enjoy This Is TASTE? Drop us a review on Apple , or star us on Spotify .
