A few months ago, one of the hottest chefs around teased the upcoming opening of his first restaurant outside of London... in Paris! Though, sadly, nothing seems to have materialized since then, he has a lovely surprise waiting for us at the Grande Épicerie.

He is the star chef of all cookbooks. From Simple to Flavour, including Plenty and the must-have Jerusalem, Yotam Ottolenghi is the reference in recipe books for every respectable Parisian food lover, as well as for any cooking enthusiast eager for original and delicious recipes. And after years of London exclusivity, he is giving us the immense honor of finally offering some of his products and spice blends for the very first time in France!


A true feast for the taste buds

Until now, to get your hands on the delicious condiments and magnificent sauces crafted by the pope of Levantine cuisine, you had two options: order online, or treat yourself to a trip to London – but that spice jar was pricey! From now on, oh joy and happiness, all you need to do is take the subway for just a few minutes to access a space of culinary delight.

Indeed, it's at the Grande Épicerie in Paris, the ultimate hotspot for all food lovers on the Left Bank, that Yotam Ottolenghi is now offering his products. On the menu: green harissa or pomegranate harissa, shawarma paste, lemon and spice seasoning, or even tomato sauce with roasted eggplant… 150 products sold between €12 and €15 that will surely turn you into a pro of Levantine cuisine.


A popularity that shows no signs of fading

This news should delight the chef's fans, who often struggle to find spices and condiments that are hard to find in France, as well as all food enthusiasts who are continually on the lookout for new flavors. And with this new corner, Ottolenghi is further establishing his growing fame.

Just a reminder, each of his works has sold several million copies after being translated into around thirty languages. Now, all we’re waiting for is for him to FINALLY open his restaurant in Paris. Because using his spices is great, but savoring them in dishes made by him is even better!
