Yotam Ottolenghi Beans Quotations

I keep returning to the combination of artichoke, broad beans and lemon. The freshness of young beans and the lemon juice 'lifts' the artichoke and balances its hearty nature.

Having grown up in the Middle East, eating beans for breakfast always seemed like a bizarre British eccentricity.

Popping broad beans out of their skins can be therapeutic, but it isn't everybody's favourite waste of time.
