25 h. ago Meera Sodha’s vegan recipe for sweetcorn hiyashi | The new vegan

These cooled noodles in a salty-sour sweetcorn sauce are the perfect salad stand-in for hot summer daysIn 2003, I had my first som tam salad in Bangkok’s searing 30-degree heat. It was crunchy and packed to the rafters with flavour, but, more importantly, it was cold. Until then, I’d been eating hot food in hot weather, but ever since I’ve been chasing that perfect cold summer meal. These cold hiyashi ramen come close for me. They’re ludicrously versatile (think salad plus sauce plus noodles), and the only “cooking” to be done is boiling the noodles; the rest is chopping, blending (the sauce) and assembling. It is truly summertime where the living is easy. Continue reading...

From Avon lady to TikTok superstar, Diane Morgan has become a global comic darling. As her raucous comedy Mandy returns, she talks about why she almost asked the BBC to pull it – and why she pretends to be a robot for an hour a dayDiane Morgan went vegan a few months ago, so naturally, we meet for lunch at a restaurant in central London that almost entirely serves cheese. It is a humid, muggy day. “You don’t often hear people use the word ‘muggy’ now,” Morgan says, when I mention it. “How many people do you hear saying that, on a daily basis?” A pause. “Under the age of 85, I mean.”Morgan is famous for her deadpan style, which she has honed to perfection as the mockumentary host Philomena Cunk, and has put to use all over British TV, from the dour Liz in Motherland to Kath in Ricky Gervais’s sitcom After Life, with a recent stint as the reporter Onya Doorstep in Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl.

49 h. ago Helen Goh’s recipe for lemon meringue bombe alaska with pistachio cake | The sweet spot

The toasted meringue reveals tangy ice-cream with nutty sponge in this dramatic celebration dessert. Ta-da!There’s a touch of theatre to a bombe Alaska: the soft swoops of toasted meringue, the hidden layers revealed at the slice, the contrast of cold and flame This one takes its cue from lemon meringue pie, reimagined as an icy dessert with a gently tangy heart. The lemon ice-cream is no-churn, which makes it blissfully easy, and it softens into a mousse-like texture, rather than melting, so this is great for entertaining, when timing isn’t always precise. Underneath is a tender pistachio sponge for a little texture and subtle nuttiness, and it’s all wrapped in a satiny meringue, torched to golden. It’s a dessert that feels doable but celebratory, a little retro and entirely joyful. Continue reading...
