Yotam Ottolenghi will be doing a cooking demonstration on Feb. 16 at 6:00 PM GMT. That would be morning in most parts of the US. I have seen him in person (giving a talk, not a cooking class) and found him to be a warm and engaging speaker. Just about everyone in our family uses one or more of his cookbooks, especially the one named “Simple”. So I am looking forward to this. Suggested donation is £10, but of course one can give more.

Thanks Lola I passed it on to other family members who have several cookbooks. I reminded the granddaughter who’s traveling to Europe this summer that she could try to reserve a table at one of his restaurants in London for the portion of her 7 week trip when she’ll be there.
Thanks, Lola! I have several of his cookbooks and really love his recipes. I also follow him on The Guardian. This is great - what a wonderful thing he is doing!
Thank you, Lola. I signed up.
For those who watched this, I have a question. Was that an induction range he was using? Or a regular electric glass stovetop? It seemed to react so quickly.
His dishes always look so beautiful in presentation. I cannot eat pasta or aubergine, but I might try making the second dish with zucchini for a base. It looked so nice with the feta and harissa!
Yes, it's induction, and yes, they react quickly. It's easy to quickly raise or lower temperature, or maintain the heat. I love cooking on mine. Most everyone I know has induction in France.
Neither recipe appealed to me, but once I read the recipe, there might be tweaks to make it more to our taste.
