Good to know as bottled beers are beginning to disagree with me so I need to find an alternative in Chinese restaurants who rarely have draught beer. A full-bodied Aussie red sounds perfect

Thanks Aaron, it was fabulous, such a great way to cook aubergines, particularly liked the difference between the submerged ones and those on top

Fun game!
Reminds me of a friend’s NYC 80’s shopping list:

Bread
Cat food
Pasta
Heroin
Tomatoes

My AirBnB list would be: dried pasta, red wine, onions, garlic, tomatoes, bread, sausages, beer, fresh dates and ice cream

Aubergine, Chickpea and Tomato Bake (Musaqa’a)

This simple Palestinian aubergine and chickpea traybake recipe is inspired by moussaka but is meat-free and suitable for vegans.

Unexpected health issues are so unsettling and suddenly take up so much of our time - glad you’re getting back to work

So sorry to hear that illness has been a problem.
Next year the theme at Oxford is Food & Poverty

On Yom Kippur many Jewish people in Britain have their phones off to mark the holy day.

As it ends at 723pm, some will hear the tragic Manchester news for the first time.

At that time, please join many of us to send a message of solidarity to British Jews.Thanks Together coalition for proposing.

To everyone in Britain's Jewish Community: you are not alone.

We will not let hate or those who spread it win.

We stand with you.

Art’s Most Erotic review – unequivocally filthy TV

Art critic Waldemar Januszczak’s Sky documentary is a blisteringly explicit look at the depiction of sex from the giant penises of Pompeii to Shunga porn and Indian love temples. Avert your eyes, prudes!
