Yotam Ottolenghi Says To Bake A Cake So You Eat Less Sugar (Reheat)

Yotam Ottolenghi is an Israeli-British chef famous for getting people to eat more vegetables. But now, he's making the case for sugar. On the heels of his 2017 dessert cookbook, Sweet, he discusses the personality differences between bakers and cooks. Plus, why he never orders the specials in restaurants and what happens when a perfectionist like him attempts to cook with his kids.
