Yeah, and I was thinking of, you know, um obviously for parents are always trying to find kind of fun ways uh to get their kids to eat vegetables and uh one of the ones I think I spotted was at the cauliflower coriander fritters, you know, 'cause it 'cause that can be cauliflower can be a difficult dish to to get younger kids to eat. voice-verified

Yeah, you have a section, uh Yotama Otolengi in the book and it's about kitchen fundamentals. voice-verified

And imagine whether you're a busy parent or even if you don't have kids, you know, that notion of having something that you can just voice-verified

Yeah, I as you're speaking, Yotam, I I re I remember I'm paraphrasing but the late Anthony uh Burdain, you know, says to the extent that which uh you can walk in somebody's shoes or or eat their food, it's a plus for for everyone. voice-verified

And there really is something about food and culture and sharing and understanding each other's traditions. voice-verified

And look I mean it must be quite sad for you because I know that you did your military service um in Israel. voice-verified

Food was not your first choice. voice-verified

Uh uh you you you you pivoted somewhat after that, but it it must be very difficult for you looking at the the country and the region of your birth. voice-verified

You've lived in the UK um Yotem Otalangi for about I think thirty years now. voice-verified

You're a a public figure um um across so many um areas. voice-verified

A migrant, Jewish, a gay man, is it do you ever feel the pressure of being the public face of one or even all of those identities? voice-verified

Um d is that challenging for you? voice-verified
