20 Years of Ottolenghi

This April we’re celebrating 20 years of Ottolenghi! With milestones comes creativity in the form of limited-edition products, sweet treats featuring our favourite flavour bombs, and joyful celebration dishes which will be served across our brightly decorated delis.

"20 years of Ottolenghi! The delis, the restaurants, the books – who would have thought. All down to our incredible staff and the continued support of our customers and guests.
Thank you!"

Yotam Ottolenghi

Ottolenghi began as a small deli in Notting Hill, London, founded by Yotam Ottolenghi, Noam Bar and Sami Tamimi. Food which had its roots in the meandering souks of the Middle East was transported to London where the colours, the textures and the flavours were unapologetically striking. The shop was an overnight success and in 2008 the first Ottolenghi cookbooks was published. Ottolenghi has now become a household name and a destination for food lovers the world over.

'Simply put, we are very serious about making people happy through our food'.

We’ll be sharing the Ottolenghi 20 salad and cake recipes, plus a few extra Ottolenghi classics, through the link below. So, if you can’t visit one of our delis over the anniversary period, you can still enjoy a taste of the celebrations at home!

The anniversary collection is vibrant and joyful, honouring the last two decades and toasting to the next. Totes and tea towels, tins and hampers brimming with treats from the Ottolenghi Bakery. Black lime truffles and Strawberry and Calamansi pâté fruit, Sesame chocolate brittle and White chocolate clusters - it’s all of the flavours we love! Not forgetting the Ottolenghi Battenberg, an eye-catching new centrepiece.

To mark the milestone, the OTK team have created a special Lemon mascarpone and labneh cake and three showstopping salads using the very best Spring produce. Marinated courgette, grated tomato, labneh and sumac pine nuts, Herby asparagus, potato, black garlic, and dukkah, Apple-miso cauliflower and. Available to eat in and takeaway across our delis from 12th April until 3rd May.
