Cracking the Cookbook: Ottolenghi Shelf Love - Online

This is a live, interactive, hands-on cooking class held online via Zoom. See our registration policies here. 

This is a new chapter in the beloved series Cracking the Cookbook, where students get to either cook from that book they love on the shelf but have not dared to actually cook from, or get a taste (never better said) of a book they find appealing but have not bought yet. This time it's everybody's favorite cookbook author, Yotam Ottolenghi, who's most recent book presents a new twist: it is co-authored by the entire test kitchen, as a team endeavour, so it's the perfect way to cook together as a group online. Besides the communal aspect, the book's premise aligns with modern living: how to cook what is on hand in your kitchen and pantry and make the most of it. 

For this class, Camila selected a few recipes featuring some of her favorite ingredients. She's excited to share her knowledge about these beloved pantry items during class with you!

Having lived alongside the Mediterranean for almost two decades, she believes that the best cooking relies on simple recipes with outstanding ingredients. That's the Mediterranean way she conveys in her classes, along with the concept of sobremesa, which happens to be the name of the company she runs. Sobremesa is the leisurely time we spend gathered around the table. In addition to running Sobremesa Culinary Tours, through which she offers delicious cultural and culinary experiences abroad for fellow food-lovers, Camila founded and directs the Food Studies & Gastronomy program at the University of Barcelona, and teaches academically about Mediterranean food culture to American students abroad.
