Inside Ottolenghi’s Food Empire: Tahini, Charred Eggplant and Green Shakshuka

Sami Tamimi and Tara Wigley, the team behind Yotam Ottolenghi’s food empire, discuss the world of Palestinian cooking—from za’atar to what makes great tahini. Plus, we chat with Gail Simmons about life behind the scenes at “Top Chef”; we make seared pork tenderloin with smoked paprika; and we discuss hidden food meanings with Grant Barrett and Martha Barnette of “A Way With Words.”
