The magic of flavour is something we’re still striving to understand…every single day.

This newsletter is an open invitation from the team and I to explore new ingredients and discover fresh ways with familiar ones—ways that surprise us and delight us.

It’s all about the process of perfecting recipes - grilled aubergine, stewed chickpeas, roasted chicken, hummus topping, yoghurt with feta, broccoli with miso, halva cookies, harissa on everything, you name it.

Here, I’ll share what we’re working on, and give you a taste of our world; exclusive recipes, ideas, and behind the scenes at Ottolenghi.

What to expect

Every week, we’ll dive into a new theme, sharing the recipes we create, the ideas that inspire us, and the food we can’t stop thinking about. You’ll receive two brand-new recipes—one for everyone, and one exclusively for paid subscribers, complete with its own story, tips, and tricks.

From time to time, we’ll also throw in a midweek special—extra doses of inspiration, insights, and stories. We’ll share the books we’re reading, the shows we’re watching, the chefs and writers we admire, and the lively discussions happening in our kitchens. This is a space for a community of curious, greedy readers who love food as much as we do.

Welcome to our kitchen table. Pull up a chair.
