Near the stage, a man with long hair is dressed in a black t-shirt with the image of a metal band. Further on, a woman with an elegant blow-dry, cream suit, walks into the row with an ivory Birkin bag under her arm. Behind her, a young girl with shoulders covered in a knitted shawl wears ethnic jewelry. If this colorful crowd who came to sit quietly in the Salle Métropole in Lausanne were gathered for a concert, it would be very difficult to guess the headliner.

However, it is not the music that unites the public, a good part of which is English-speaking, on this Saturday evening in November, but the cuisine. That of Yotam Ottolenghi, Anglo-Israeli star of the kitchen, thanks to whom we have been finding tahini, pomegranate molasses and even zaatar in good French-speaking grocery stores for several years. Under the spotlights, alongside our colleague Véronique Zbinden who co-hosted the evening, he answered the questions that came from both sides, before giving a demonstration in the form of an interactive quiz with the public.
