Ottolenghi Test Kitchen

There’s a quirky building in North London, built from equal parts brick and tahini, walls coated in olive oil and floors stained with spice: habanero and fenugreek, Aleppo chilli and black lime. This is the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen, the OTK to some, where a group of individuals meet and eat, cook and write, tear and share and gather with just one motive: to create good food with good ingredients, and to share it with the world.

Today, the test kitchen marks the creative hub of the greater Ottolenghi company, where recipes are tested, tasted and tested again before being appointed to their forever homes, online or in print, to be shared with food-lovers near and far.
