A ground-breaking Middle Eastern cookbook from the co-author of Ottolenghi- The Cookbook and Jerusalem, and co-founder of the innovative Ottolenghi delis.
Sami Tamimi (Author)
Sami Tamimi was born and raised in Jerusalem and was immersed in
food from childhood. He started his career as commis-chef in a
Jerusalem hotel and worked his way up to become head chef of
Lilith, one of the top restaurants in Tel Aviv in the 1990s.
Sami moved to London in 1997 and worked at Baker & Spice as head
chef, where he set up a traiteur section with a rich Middle-Eastern
and Mediterranean spread. In 2002 he partnered with Noam Bar and
Yotam Ottolenghi to set up Ottolenghi in Notting Hill.
Alongside Yotam Ottolenghi, Sami Tamimi is co-author of two
bestselling cookbooks- Ottolenghi- The Cookbook and Jerusalem- A
Cookbook, which the New York Times recently named as one of the 25
most influential cookbooks from the last 100 years. Sami's third
cookbook Falastin is co-authored with Tara Wigley and won the
Fortnum & Mason Cookery Book of the Year 2021. Sami's first solo
cookbook, Boustany, will be published in 2025.
Tara Wigley (Author)
Tara Wigley spent a decade working in publishing - at the Abner
Stein Literary Agency in London and then Simon & Schuster - before
going to cookery school in Ireland when her twins were 18 months
old. She met Yotam Ottolenghi in 2011 and has been writing in
collaboration with him ever since. She began by developing, testing
and writing recipes for Yotam's weekly column in the Guardian
magazine and his longer monthly column, in 2017, for the New York
Times. Plenty More. NOPI- The Cookbook, SWEET and Ottolenghi SIMPLE
were all written with Tara.
Yotam Ottolenghi (Foreword By)
Yotam Ottolenghi is the restaurateur and chef-patron of the nine
Ottolenghi delis, as well as the NOPI and ROVI restaurants. He is
the author of eleven bestselling and multi-award-winning cookery
books. His championing of vegetables, as well as ingredients once
seen as 'exotic', has led to what some call 'The Ottolenghi
effect'. This is shorthand for the creation of a meal which is full
of colour, flavour, bounty and sunshine. Yotam lives in London with
his family. www.ottolenghi.co.uk @Ottolenghi
