Yotam Ottolenghi Teaches Modern Middle Eastern Cooking | Official Trailer | MasterClass

James Beard Award–winning chef Yotam Ottolenghi, author of bestselling cookbooks—including Ottolenghi, Plenty, Simple, and Jerusalem—and food columnist for The Guardian and The New York Times, shares his techniques and teaches you recipes for bright, delicious spreads of flavorful vegetables and other dishes in his new MasterClass on modern Middle Eastern cooking. Learn to create platters packed with bold flavors and colors and enjoy the process of cooking. Whether you’re a seasoned home cook or just getting started, Yotam will help you cook with joy, ease, and confidence.

Born and raised in Israel, Yotam Ottolenghi built a name for himself as a restaurateur in London, where he opened the first Ottolenghi delicatessen. His emphasis on the role of food as a connector and community builder came through in his cookbooks, the first of which, Ottolenghi, published in 2008, became an instant bestseller. He followed up with vegetarian recipes in Plenty and Plenty More, and the BBC has credited him as “the driving force” behind rising interest in vegetarian and Middle Eastern cuisines.

Now a food columnist for The Guardian and The New York Times, which has also dubbed him “the philosopher chef,” Yotam has launched a portfolio of acclaimed restaurants and delis. He’s been honored with more than a dozen culinary awards, including two James Beard Awards for his cookbooks.

In this online class, you’ll learn about:
• Layering flavors, textures, and colors
• Food as a visual experience
• Making vegetables delicious
• Creating platters with multiple dishes
• Middle Eastern cooking techniques
• Mezze spreads: including hummus, pea spread, and muhammara
• Middle Eastern brunch foods: from labneh to green herb shakshuka
• Making roasted eggplant salad and grilled carrots with labneh and dukkah
• Making roasted cauliflower with harissa chili oil
• Magnificent centerpiece dishes: salmon and prawns in spicy tomato sauce and celebration rice
• Making homemade condiments to keep on hand, including harissa, lemon paste, quick shatta, and confit garlic oil

This is the type of ads that I would never skip on YouTube.

[ladyt]

Only came here to rewatch the advert because it's so beautiful to watch! Can't afford the Materclass but I know who Yotam Ottolenghi is now! His cooking looks phenomenal! SUBSCRIBED!

[suvendroseal]

I already know that we need a part II of this.

[farzanaafroze]

I made a whole meal following this class. It was the best meal i have ever cooked. I just love him.

[marciocouto]

Masterclass always have the best YouTube ads.

[chianti]

I’m up to lesson 5 ... already know it’s going to be excellent. I assumed the recipes would be delicious, but didn’t expect him to be so charming. Great class!

[chefstyleboston]

I've watched his Masterclass 10 x and still love it and take away so much every single time! He's the man!

[fjordhellas]

I’m Norwegian, a citizen of planet earth and I happen to be a Jew who is extremely fond of Middle Eastern food and particularly of Lebanese gastronomy which I honestly think it’s one of the best food in the world. Y.Ottolenghi is very creative and has good ideas and recipes, but it would be even greater if MC would bring a Lebanese chef like the sorts you find in Beirut to teach us the secret of their unparalleled flavors.

[insearchof]

Came here after listening about your fame on Charvaka Podcast on vegetarian foods. You were mentioned by our favourite AIM. I eat every thing except beef. But since i came to learn about your fame as a vegetarian cook, which is the hardest job in food industry to make a vegetarian food taste good, that too in the areas like yours where spices aren't as abundant as in India, you are almost a superchef. I will learn your tips and tricks like a nursery kid. Pranam Guru Ji🙏🙏

[EynOdMilevado]

Haven’t tried a recipe of his yet that I didn’t love. His originality and fail proof combination of ingredients and MEASUREMENTS!!!! makes for stress free cooking.

[suvendroseal]

Bring someone who specialises in Japanese and Chinese food.

[SS-witm]

CAN'T WAIT. I've been trying to find videos of him for years!!

[leonardoiglesias]

To any sentence one could say, yes, who isnt…who doesnt…who wouldnt…..
But the world population love klischees, common places, elbow sell strategies and selfcompliments. I am great, I am the greatest! And people go: yes yes!!!! You are you are!! And we are also great because we are your fans!!!

[fluffyraider]

food, art and music is actual culture, something which can be shared and enjoyed together. Rest of things man has created are just - not culture

[shanepasha]

I know I’ll be checking him out. I like his style.

[JonathanParkes-xb]

I can not help thinking he reminds me a little of and sounds like Borat, ..." it's nice..."

[gmanGman]

What's that eggplant dish? Name anyone?

[Myfeetkeepdancing]

Mighty sharp knife! The secret to great slicing!

The best way to learn is to have neighbors who will have you over for dinner and feed you and have you take home leftovers with a recipe.
Living in Jordan and Lebanon, feeding the stranger is a way of life.
Jesus said:” if you love me, feed my sheep”. He also fed the multitude with two fishes and five loaves.
The more you give freely, the richer you become because God will bless you.
Be kind to one another, especially now.
