Yotam ottolenghi

As part of our A Home-Cooked Summer campaign, Yotam Ottolenghi shares five recipes from his best-selling cookbook, Ottolenghi SIMPLE, to see you through the new normal ahead, from a comforting classic to a store cupboard superstar.

This is a celebration dish, perfect for sharing and well worth the effort
