Description

Longtime Ottolenghi associate Helen Goh fell into a career in cooking after first studying psychology. She draws on both aspects of her training in her first solo cookbook, Baking and the Meaning of Life. Helen argues that the inessential nature of sweet treats elevates the act of baking beyond quotidian cooking, and that sharing baked goods is a distillation of human generosity. We test her theory in the kitchen.
