Yotam Ottolenghi is a chef, restaurant owner and author of nine cookbooks. In his latest cookbook, Ottolenghi Test Kitchen: Shelf Love: Recipes to Unlock the Secrets of Your Pantry, Fridge, and Freezer, he reinvents cacio e pepe (a traditional Italian pasta dish that translates to "cheese and pepper").
*recipe slightly adapted from Yotam Ottolenghi’s Sweet. Yotam Ottolenghi's Flourless Coconut Cake ~ this super moist, super decadent pound cake is completely grain free and a must try, even if you aren't on a gluten free diet. Butter a standard (9x5") loaf pan and line with parchment paper with overhanging ends.
I found this flourless coconut cake in Yotam Ottolenghi’s newest book, Sweet, which I got for Christmas this year. It’s his first book dedicated to desserts and I wasn’t sure what to expect, I think of him more as a savory kind of guy.
