Yotam Ottolenghi: Simple Too LIVE

Yotam Ottolenghi: Simple Too LIVE tickets in Oxford

Yotam Ottolenghi brings his new cookbook Simple Too to New Theatre Oxford in a live cooking event lasting one hour and fifty minutes. He cooks on stage, discusses the ideas behind the book, and takes audience questions across an evening that combines demonstration with conversation.

What the evening involves

The event is built around Ottolenghi cooking recipes from Simple Too in front of a live audience. The book centres on vegetable-forward dishes, one-pot meals, tray-baked options and desserts, each designed to meet at least one of three practical constraints: ready in under 30 minutes, cooked in a single pot, or prepared ahead of time.

Alongside the cooking, he discusses the philosophy behind the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen and explains how Simple Too responds to what he describes as the noise and distraction of contemporary life. The aim, as he frames it, is to create space to relax in the kitchen using ingredients from a well-stocked pantry.

The Q&A element

Part of the evening is given over to audience questions. Ottolenghi has indicated the kinds of topics he expects to address: how to make weeknight cooking more varied, which pantry staples form a reliable foundation, and how straightforward ingredients can produce food that feels generous and impressive.
