Yotam Ottolenghi in conversation with Kim Severson - Simple Too

Join the renowned chef Yotam Ottolenghi for an intimate and energizing evening celebrating his forthcoming Fall 2026 cookbook, "Simple Too," the highly anticipated follow-up to his bestselling "Ottolenghi Simple."

Ottolenghi will engage in a captivating conversation with Kim Severson, national food correspondent for the New York Times. Eight years after redefining culinary simplicity, Ottolenghi returns to explore what “simple” means in today's fast-paced world, filled with endless notifications and distractions.

Expect laughter, honesty, and that signature Ottolenghi flair as he proclaims, “The lemon is back!” He'll discuss the vibrant themes in "Simple Too," sharing recipes that align with real life — dishes that you can start preparing with just half a plan and still result in a deeply satisfying meal.

Discover the ingredients and techniques that shape this new collection, including:

• Beans simply dressed
• Black chickpeas
• Generous handfuls of sesame
• Sweet-and-spicy balances
• Pasta cooked directly in its sauce
• Whole meals roasted in a single tray for minimal cleanup

Additionally, Ottolenghi will unveil the new “Fundamentals” chapter featuring fifteen essential flavor builders like spring onion oil, green salsa, and chilli crisp — the small twists that elevate your busiest weeknights.

This is more than just a cooking talk; it's a chance to find joy in the kitchen, even when daily life becomes hectic. Each ticket includes a signed first edition of "Simple Too." Please note that tickets are non-refundable. If you can't attend, you can still pick up your signed copy at A Cappella Books for one month post-event, or request shipping.
