Helen Goh and Yotam Ottolenghi talk to Felicity Rubenstein

Ottolenghi Comfort

Hay Festival 2025, 

Whet your appetite ahead of dinner as Helen Goh and Yotam Ottolenghi introduce their new cookbook. A bowl of pasta becomes Caramelised Onion Orecchiette with Hazelnuts & Crispy Sage and a plate of mash is transformed into Garlicky Aligot Potato with Leeks & Thyme, as the pair discuss what makes comfort food so reassuring and how to elevate classics but still deliver the taste of home.

The chefs share their own memories of childhood, travel, home and food in this event celebrating the connections made during cooking, and the passing on of food from generation to generation.

Ottolenghi is a restaurateur, and chef-patron of the seven Ottolenghi delis, as well as the NOPI and ROVI restaurants. Goh is a recipe developer and the co-author of Ottolenghi Sweet and Ottolenghi Comfort.
