Simply Yotam: The Master of Middle Eastern Food Speeds It Up and Pares It Back

In Yotam Ottolenghi's latest book, “Simple,” he focuses on
delivering minimal hassle for maximum joy—whole-roasted
vegetables topped with crème fraîche, no-bake cheesecake and a
new take on salads. This week, we discuss how he keeps things
simple, yogurt on everything and the must-have spices for any
kitchen. Plus, recipes for a homemade Christmas with Yvette Van
Boven; the secret of Taiwan's beef noodle soup; and J. Kenji
López-Alt on the science of vinaigrettes. (Originally aired
December 21, 2018.)
