For millions of amateur chefs who loved Ottolenghi's SIMPLE (2018), enjoyable cooking will continue to be just that: SIMPLE TOO, like the 135 brand-new recipes in his new cookbook of the same name, which will be published on September 16, 2026. In the midst of a hectic and noisy world, Yotam Ottolenghi's cooking philosophy provides the inspiration that his fans love him for: enjoying simplicity and experiencing cuisine holistically!

On November 15, Yotam Ottolenghi will convey to his fans in his charming manner how cooking can be fun: with a desire to experiment and without the pressure to be perfect. He will talk entertainingly about his favorite dishes and kitchen secrets and how cooking for yourself and others can be easy. During his live shows, he will reveal exclusive “Ottolenghi tips” and interact with the audience by answering questions from his fans live.

Yotam Ottolenghi: "SIMPLE TOO is a continuation of SIMPLE. But the two years I spent working on it also felt like a response to our current reality: a loud, busy world full of possibilities that can sometimes be distracting or even numbing. I wanted to create a space that allows people to find a little more peace in the kitchen, to use what they already have in their pantry, and to trust the knowledge they already possess."
