If you're a vegetarian, worshipper of eggplant or just a keen home cook, chances are Yotam Ottolenghi has had some impact on your life. In fact, we bet you've got at least one of his bestselling cookbooks in your cupboard. Next year, you'll be able to learn a few more tips and tricks from the renowned Israeli chef as he heads to Australia for a speaking tour.

The trailblazing chef, author, TV personality and restaurateur whose name has become its own cooking style is touring Sydney, Melbourne, the Gold Coast, Adelaide and Perth in 2021 off the back of his new book Ottolenghi Flavour, which builds on his love for innovative vegetable-based recipes.

Yotam Ottolenghi — Flavour of Life will tour the country throughout June — and, as well as dishing up a few spicy secrets behind mouthwatering hits like miso butter onions and spicy mushroom lasagne, the show will provide an opportunity to hear directly from the man himself about his influences and experiences.
