Live on stage\, Yotam will take the audien ce through Comfort\, (from eggs\, to noodles\, to roast chicken\, to a wid e array \;of cultural and culinary themes) in conversation with his lo cal host\, and will invite the audience to participate in a second half as he prepares one of his dishes. Just as food brings people together\, this event combines the culinary innovation of Ottolenghi with suggestions and questions from the audience (that's you!) to create a one-off live experi ence. \; Yotam will undoubtedly share some childhood stories\, his pas sion for layered dishes with bold flavors and colorful ingredients\, and h is influences from across the world.
