Ottolenghi: Chicago visit Monday, October 20th

Post #1 - May 12th, 2014, 12:16 pmHi,
I have an opportunity to host Ottolenghi: Cooking from Jerusalem and Plenty. He will be in town to promote his new book, Plenty More.
He has an evening book signing from 6-8 pm. He is available for a lunch or afternoon lecture, though maybe if there is enough interest on a relatively late evening lecture.
I have a poll set up, which I hope you can advise your interest.
If it were a Saturday or a 7 pm evening availability, I would just go ahead and book it. It is the relatively odd hours, I am not sure of people's reaction. I set the poll to allow multiple responses, so advise any and all times you could potentially make it.
Thanks!
Regards,Cathy2

Post #9 - May 14th, 2014, 11:56 amThis made my day/week/month/year! I'm still riding high from finding out a few weeks ago about Plenty More. This is delicious icing on a delicious cake.

Post #10 - September 17th, 2014, 3:23 pmJust wondering if this was ever scheduled. I'm hoping that there's still a chance we'll get to meet with Ottolenghi!

Post #11 - September 17th, 2014, 6:40 pmYeah, 4 PM I could probably get away with going to work really early so I could leave early, but earlier would be hard unless it was in the loop or something for lunch. I love his cookbooks so obviously I've love to meet him.- melissa

Post #14 - September 18th, 2014, 12:44 pmHi,
Williams-Sonoma is something like 6 pm to 8 pm. I had tried to get him either before or after to no avail.
I have been promised the next time he is here (whenever that may be), he'll be available for a talk.
I am not betting the farm on this, though I do hope to be on the shortlist for consideration.
Regards,Cathy2

I am so envious, Louisa! And sad that I cannot be there, as I have been cooking my way through Jerusalem and can't seem to stop. Have fun!Man : I can't understand how a poet like you can eat that stuff.

Post #22 - October 20th, 2014, 9:15 pmLouisa did a great job MC'g the Q&A with Chef Ottolenghi tonight and it was a lot of fun. The William Sonoma staff prepared a couple of recipes from the book--the roasted eggplant and zucchini dip with blue cheese and pine nuts was delicious--and the chef was very interactive with the group, answering lots of questions and sharing anecdotes from his restaurants, family and recipe development process. Very glad I could attend, especially with my fellow LTHers. And definitely looking forward to digging into Plenty More!"Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad." Miles Kington

Thank you! Yes, lots of fun, Yotam was a great guest, and Williams Sonoma served lovely, hearty samples. Plus Monica and I interviewed him for Chewing the Fat before the event, for our next season premiering Thanksgiving Day!
