7 h. ago Meera Sodha: ‘I’m thrilled to have new ingredients in the kitchen’

Our cook on why she’s changing the way she writes her recipesSee Meera’s kimchi and cheddar okonomiyaki and Thai fried egg salad hereI’m like a giant panda in that 98% of what I eat comes from plants. It’s a long story, but the short version is that I love animals alive and vegetables on my plate.If I think about who I am and how I eat, I am built from Gujarati ingenuity and Lincolnshire produce when it comes to putting vegetables at the centre of the table. While I eat mainly plants, I do leave a little room in my diet for other things that I enjoy – a fish curry shared with my husband, Hugh, an omelette for a quick dinner, or tidying the edges of a hunk of manchego – and three of my cookbooks, Fresh India, East and Dinner, overall reflect that way of eating.

9 h. ago How to turn old cheese ends into a savoury porridge – recipe | Waste not

Oats are a great vehicle for the earthy flavours of mushroom, celeriac and jerusalem artichoke in a risotto-style dish that can be enjoyed all day longPorridge is one of the most homely and comforting of dishes, and the discovery of savoury porridge takes it to a whole new level, making those oats something that can be enjoyed all day long. Inspired by both Heston Blumental’s snail porridge and Dan Barber’s “rotation risotto”, which I developed for his WastED pop-up at Selfridges in 2017, this particular savoury porridge even gained some notoriety after it featured in Private Eye’s Pseuds Corner that same year. The latter was a fun, fine-dining dish but, at its heart, the recipe is very simple and satisfying; it works brilliantly, too. Continue reading...

27 h. ago Yukimi: For You review – sweet solo debut for Little Dragon singer

(Ninja Tune)Yukimi Nagano’s first record without the Swedish synth-pop band is a light but pleasurable affairIt seems barely credible, but next year is Little Dragon’s 30th birthday. Although Yukimi Nagano has fronted the Swedish electronic dance act since she was at school, For You is her first solo album. Strength-through-suffering gem Break Me Down is an excellent lead single – a filigree of a pop song freewheeling on Yukimi’s enticing, airy vocal. Its summery drift is shared with neighbours Make Me Whole and Runaway, riffing confidently on 70s soul and 90s nu-jazz, love letters to hope in uncertain times.Winter Is Not Dead’s Björkish marriage of minimal electronics and layered harmonies is delicious, as is No Prince’s vocal crescendo and Peace Reign’s pendulous bassline, curling its fingers around the guts of the song. Walk-on parts for Nagano’s sons and father feel mildly indulgent. Still, she says that “when songwriting is personal, it also becomes very accessible, because we’...

28 h. ago Don’t rush to rip out your nettles – here’s three ways to put them to good use

A patch of the stingers is a sure sign of nutrient-rich soil – plus they’re nutritious for you, your plants and insect-eating birdsNettles are rarely considered a welcome sight to gardeners. With their capacity for rampant growth – they spread by rhizome (underground) as well as seed – and the tiny hairs on their stems and leaves that sting any passing bare skin, they are usually uprooted from outside spaces where people are present. Nonetheless, this defensive plant is a common sight throughout the UK and worthy of more than our disdain, given that it boasts a wealth of beneficial properties and that its presence is a sure sign there’s plenty of nitrogen – an essential nutrient for plant growth – present in your garden’s soil.Stinging nettles (Urtica dioica) are wholly edible, although the most commonly eaten part is the leaf. Spring is the best time to forage and consume nettle leaves as the fresh growth is the most tender and delicious, as well as richly nutritious. Not to b...
