Ottolenghi Jerusalem Cookbook
Jerusalem by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi is a richly layered cookbook that captures the spirit, history, and diversity of Jerusalem through its food. Drawing on their shared upbringing in the city—one Jewish, one Palestinian—the authors present a deeply personal exploration of a cuisine shaped by centuries of cultural overlap, conflict, and coexistence.
The book features approximately 120 recipes, that are spice forward, vibrant, and rooted in Middle Eastern traditions. Influences span the region, from North Africa to the Levant, Turkey, Iran, and beyond, reflecting Jerusalem’s role as a crossroads of civilizations. Alongside the recipes are stories of childhood, explanations of ingredients and spices, and short historical reflections that give context to the dishes.
More than a collection of recipes, Jerusalem is a cultural narrative and visual celebration of a complex city. Through food, the authors explore identity, memory, and the idea that shared flavors can bridge divides—offering readers not just meals to cook, but a deeper understanding of a city where land, culture, and cuisine are inseparably intertwined.
Jerusalem was published in 2012.

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.
