19 h. ago ‘The essential ingredient is openess’: Curtis Sittenfeld on the deep joy of midlife friendship

Friendships become closer as you get older argues the novelist, because by middle age everyone has faced dramatic challenges, disappointments and sorrows – and being honest about them is a powerful point of bondingMy ninth book is published this week, and in recent years I’ve described my writing like this: I take care with my sentences, but exquisite prose isn’t my goal. My goal is to give the reader the feeling that you – and by you, I mean me – have when you’re going for a long walk with a close friend, and the friend says: “The craziest thing just happened to me.” What?! You think and possibly say. Tell me immediately! And then what happened, and then what happened? As a writer, this is the urgency I’m chasing, this is the investment, the richness of emotion, the confiding and closeness and caring.A line in Miranda July’s 2024 novel All Fours, a book I’ve discussed with many friends, perfectly captures for me this sense of participating in a bottomless conversation: “I was often...

22 h. ago Meera Sodha’s vegan recipe for peazotto with pickled peas | The new vegan

The freshness of pureed peas and mint and the tartness of lemony pickled peas combine to give pasta ‘rice’ a perky, vibrant liftToday’s recipe is inspired by an Italian method of preserving, sott’olio, which translates to “under oil”. The most delicate of vegetables, such as peas, are picked at peak ripeness, plunged briefly in vinegar, then stored in oil to preserve them until desired. I’ll admit that my recipe wantonly uses frozen petit pois, which are then in part pickled and in part whizzed up to make a stock in which to cook the orzo; nevertheless, eating it brings its own warm and welcome Italian sunshine to my English kitchen in cold, dark February.

Creamy hummus in pools of olive oil, fresh tabbouleh salad topped with parsley, fluffy bread still puffed up from the oven, tender cuts of lamb marinated in spices, and tomato stewed with herbs and mince topped with pine nuts. All finished with semolina cake soaked in syrup, and accompanied by cold limonana – a slushy minty concoction often considered Jordan’s national drink.

As we sip on the bitter coffee, Mohammad’s niece and nephew gather around and we all pull hunks of bread from the slab that he has just cooked for us by covering the sand in ashes, which we dip in fresh goat’s butter.
