<h2>About us </h2>
 
Ottolenghi began in a small deli on Notting Hill's Ledbury Road in 2002. From there, we've developed a style of cooking and hospitality rooted in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean traditions, that also draws in diverse influences and ingredients from around the world. Our commitment to the championing of vegetables & unusual ingredients, has led to what some call The Ottolenghi effect- a shorthand for the creation of a meal full of colour, flavour and joy. Over 20 years, we have become a proud family of delis and restaurants where you’ll find vibrant food, low intervention wines, and warm hospitality.
 
 We offer lifelong careers, foster talent, and put people at the heart of everything that we do. We would love to hear from you! can find our current vacancies below or feel free to email us on <a href=mailto:"recruitment@ottolenghi.co.uk" target="_blank">recruitment@ottolenghi.co.uk</a>
