I’ve been an Ottolenghi fan from day one and have enjoyed both the shops and Yotam’s ascent to being a household name. A favorite (and funny) Ottolenghi memory for me was when I was in London by myself and sneaked off to a movie theater that sold wine and other alcoholic beverages to see Bridget Jones’ Baby. (I knew it would be awful, but sometimes, that’s what you want!) With my Instagram feed as my witness, the best part of the movie was when Patrick Dempsey brought Ottolenghi food to Bridget Jones’ apartment. Well, now we can make that fictitious Pan-Fried Salmon with Pine Nut Salsa in our own kitchens because in the newest book from the Ottolenghi family, Ottolenghi Simple, they’ve created a recipe for it. It is extremely simple, can be made in a flash, and plates up beautifully.
One last note — I love the acknowledgements Yotam wrote in this book because he included first a hefty recognition of the work done by his colleagues Tara Wigley and Esme Howarth who were integral to making the book and whose names appear on the title page. Congratulations to all three of you! —Kristina
