Ottolenghi
Ottolenghi began in a small shop in Notting Hill in 2002. Since then, the team has slowly expanded, our scope has grown, and exciting new ingredients fill our cupboards. But so much has remained the same.
In 2002 chefs Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi were at the helm, creating a food shop, deli, restaurant, and bakery. It became a place with no single description but was a clear reflection of our obsessive relationship with food.
From this, Ottolenghi has developed a style of food which is rooted in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean traditions, but which also draws in diverse influences and ingredients from around the world.
Our commitment to the championing of vegetables, as well as unusual ingredients, has led to what some call The Ottolenghi effect. This is shorthand for the creation of a meal which is full of colour, flavour, bounty and joy.
