Chef, restauranteur and much-loved author Yotam Ottolenghi will be visiting Auckland for his highly anticipated Flavour of Life tour, in conversation with food writer and broadcaster Alice Zaslavsky. 

It will be an exclusive opportunity to hear Yotam discuss the tastes, ingredients, and flavours that excite him, and how he has created a career from cooking.  

Sharing his experience as a chef, restaurateur and food writer, Yotam will offer unique insights into how flavour is dialled up and why it works – from basic pairings that are fundamental to taste, to cooking methods that elevate ingredients to great heights. He will also talk about his life in food: how his upbringing has influenced his food, the journey that led to his becoming a chef, opening seven delis and restaurants in London, and writing eight bestselling cookbooks, including FLAVOUR and the latest OTTOLENGHI TEST KITCHEN titles. 

“So... after some delay and rescheduling, I’m thrilled to confirm that I will finally be visiting Australia for my Flavour of Life tour in the new year. I seriously hope you can make the new dates, so you can listen to me share my food (and some non-food) stories with you all. Thanks for your patience.” - Yotam Ottolenghi
