An Evening with Helen Goh and Yotam Ottolenghi

Helen Goh has been a recipe developer with Ottolenghi for more than a decade and is co-author with Yotam Ottolenghi of the best-selling books Sweet and Comfort. Join us for an evening of conversation with Helen and Yotam to celebrate publication of Helen’s first solo book, Baking & the Meaning of Life.
When we bake, it's never just about the richness of the butterscotch or the crisp flakiness of the pastry. Whether you're a beginner or a veteran, when you roll up your sleeves and get out the mixing bowl, you do it for reasons far beyond the mere production of a piece of food. Few know this better than Helen Goh, a baking columnist and co-author of bestsellers Sweet and Comfort, and – uniquely - a practising psychologist.
In this, her first solo cookbook, Helen draws on her own life to bring together 100 favourite recipes that show how baking is the ultimate vehicle to convey joy and connection.
In association with James Allen's Girls' School.
