Win a copy of Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi’s Jerusalem Cookbook!

December 28, 2012

Our experience at Yotam Ottolenghi’s Nopi in London left quite the lasting impression on us. The combination of fresh vibrant flavours and exotic spices so foreign and tantalising to my palette that we reminisced about the details of that meal fondly.
