2 h. ago ‘Dad taught me not just to look at the world but to really see it’: Ariel Meyerowitz’s best phone picture

The art adviser captured a portrait of her famous father – the photographer Joel Meyerowitz – as he pointed his camera at her during a visit to an exhibitionAs a child, Ariel Meyerowitz would follow her famous father around with a little Olympus XA camera and mimic his work as a photographer. Once home, he’d edit the images on a slide projector, inviting his daughter to sit alongside him. “He loved having a little shadow,” Meyerowitz recalls. “Watching him click through the slides, I learned not just to look at the world but to really see it, to notice the relationship between people and place, the colour of everything, and the humour or poignancy of it all.”To the wider world, that “perpetually creative, present and loving” father is Joel Meyerowitz, the renowned American photographer. He is also the man in this photo, photographing his daughter who is in turn photographing both him and a sculpture on display at Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone’s show The Rainbow Body.

3 h. ago Happy birthday to the NES, companion to millions of Nintendo childhoods

Forty years ago today, the Nintendo Entertainment System was released in the US – and a generation of kids were sucked into video games for lifeThe Nintendo Entertainment System was released in the United States on 18 October 1985: about a year after I was born, and 40 years ago today. It’s as if the company sensed that a sucker who’d spend thousands of dollars on plastic toys and electronic games had just entered the world. Actually, it’s as if the company had sensed that an entire generation of fools like me was about to enter the world. Which is true. That was the time to strike. We were about to be drained of every dollar we received for birthdays, Christmases and all those times our dad didn’t want us to tell our mom about something. (Maybe that last one’s just me.)Despite being slightly older than the NES, a horror I’m only now forced to face as I write this, it felt like that console had always existed in my life. I don’t have many memories from my baby years because I was to...

7 h. ago Meera Sodha’s recipe for jacket sweet potato with smoked tofu, slaw and crispy chilli mayo | Meera Sodha recipes

Swap in, swap out and, above all, enjoy this punchy, filling and thrifty dishNo-waste cooking comes in many forms. It doesn’t have to mean cooking banana peel. To me, it means finishing a bag of potatoes before they grow eyes, and making the most of that last awkward bit of cabbage. Even finding a cheeky new way with the sauces and condiments already in the fridge. Using ingredients you’ve already got to make a new recipe is, in my opinion, the most “no waste” of them all. So here’s permission from me to make substitutes – herb for herb, veg for veg, or anything you’ve already got – to make this recipe work for you.Join Meera Sodha at a special event celebrating the best of Guardian culture on Wednesday 26 November, hosted by Nish Kumar and alongside writers Stuart Heritage and Tim Dowling, with Georgina Lawton hosting You Be The Judge live.
