`Its every bit as tantalising as you’d expect’

“insanely beautiful..(and) accessible”

'With every new Ottolenghi book comes a new ingredient that will move from specialist to mainstream.’

‘All your books are such things of beauty.…It really is a gorgeous book.’

‘With his bold flavours and recipes, Yotam Ottolenghi has created a whole new way of cooking and now he’s showing us how to do the same with desserts.’

Yotam Ottolenghi (Author) Yotam Ottolenghi is the restaurateur and chef-patron of the seven Ottolenghi delis, as well as the NOPI and ROVI restaurants. He is the author of eight bestselling and multi-award-winning cookery books. Yotam has been a weekly columnist for the Saturday Guardian for over thirteen years and is a regular contributor to the New York Times. 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 Helen Goh (Author) Helen Goh was born in Malaysia and migrated with her family to Australia at the age of ten.

Co-author with Yotam, of the best-selling baking book Sweet, she has worked closely with him in recipe development for over 10 years, drawing widely on Asian, Western and Middle Eastern influences in her cooking. Helen is also a successful food columnist whose recipes appear in the Sydney Morning Herald, Guardian and Observer. She lives in London with her husband and two sons. @helen_goh_bakes
