In this EP., I discuss the importance of food as a source of energy AND JOY, and why we need to fall in love with learning how to feed ourselves and find joy in the kitchen. Drawing from personal experiences, I emphasise the need to find your own culinary inspiration—what I call your 'Ottolenghi effect.' I offer practical tips on meal planning, preparation, and making the cooking process enjoyable. I delve into my admiration for Yotam Ottolenghi, explaining how his cookbooks inspire my weekly cooking rituals and foster a deep love for cooking.
