4 d. ago Liverpool’s new era promises excitement – but have they changed too much? | Jonathan Wilson

Integrating almost half a team usually takes time, which may cost Arne Slot’s side important points in the title raceFlorian Wirtz! Hugo Ekitiké! Milos Kerkez! Jérémie Frimpong! And soon, possibly, Alexander Isak!

When I started caring for some tomato plants, it was as if a switch had been flicked in my mind. I knew I had to stop throwing food away. I immediately became much more creative with the meals I was making From calendar-keeping to cooking, for years, my hyper-organised personality crept into every corner of my life. I would save Instagram recipe videos and cuttings from weekend newspapers and use them to plan shopping lists with grand ideas about midweek dinners: a white bean stew pencilled in for one night, tacos another, homemade burgers another. I was always overambitious.You would think this level of planning would translate into less food waste. But a busy routine working in London, often with last-minute events and long commutes, meant I was too tired to make anything when I came home.
