Ottolenghi Comfort Cookbook

This cookbook reimagines comfort food through the chef’s signature lens of bold flavors, creativity, and warmth. In this collection of more than 100 recipes, Ottolenghi—alongside co-authors Helen Goh, Verena Lochmuller, and Tara Wigley—explores dishes that nourish both body and spirit, blending familiarity with fresh inspiration. 

The book balances low effort, weeknight friendly recipes with more immersive dishes meant for leisurely cooking. Drawing on childhood memories and global travels, the recipes celebrate connection, tradition, and the joy of sharing food. Classic comfort dishes are transformed with inventive twists, turning everyday pasta, soups, potatoes, and desserts into deeply satisfying yet exciting meals. 

From savory bakes and warming soups to indulgent sweets, Ottolenghi Comfort offers food that feels both nostalgic and new. It’s a collection designed to soothe, delight, and bring people together around the table.

About Ottolenghi

Yotam Assaf Ottolenghi is an Israeli-born British chef, restaurateur, and acclaimed food writer. Together with Sami Tamimi, he co-owns nine delis and restaurants in London and Bicester Village and has authored a collection of bestselling cookbooks, including Ottolenghi: The Cookbook, Plenty, Jerusalem, and Simple.

In 2002, chefs Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi joined forces to create a space that was part food shop, part deli, part restaurant, and part bakery—yet not easily defined by any single label. Above all, it reflected their shared passion and near-obsessive love of food. From this beginning, Ottolenghi developed a distinctive culinary style rooted in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean traditions while embracing ingredients and influences from around the globe. Their dedication to celebrating vegetables and showcasing unique, unexpected flavors has inspired what many call “The Ottolenghi Effect”—a way of cooking that brings together color, abundance, vibrant flavor, and pure joy on the plate.
