93 m. ago Marc Summers’ recipes for beetroot borani and a bean feast cooked three ways

A deep crimson vegan version of the classic Persian dip featuring coconut instead of the yoghurt, and a bean medley spiked with an aromatic spiced oilThis fava bean dip is rich and luxurious, but made using quite humble ingredients. The broad beans on top make a perfect garnish, because they are, in essence, fresh fava beans, while the vadouvan seasoning, although untraditional, has the same sweet, warm and earthy flavours as the fava. Then, a take on a vegan borani, enriched with coconut cream instead of the more usual yoghurt. It hits the spot with its tang, heat and sweetness, with an intense beetroot flavour from the salt-baking and a generous dollop of pomegranate molasses to add punch. Continue reading...

4 h. ago My cultural awakening: I watched Sleepless in Seattle and realised I had to cancel my wedding

As the big day approached, I tried to brush aside feelings of uncertainty. But the 90s romcom reminded me that I didn’t have to settle for anyoneWhen my boyfriend proposed, I said yes – not because I was madly in love with him, but because it seemed like the correct thing to do. We’d been together for eight years and all of our friends were getting engaged; my life felt like a constant cycle of hen nights. I knew something was wrong but I suppressed it. Sometimes I’d get these flashes of anxiety. I’d worry about the fact that I no longer felt excited when my boyfriend walked into a room, or that we didn’t have sex any more – but I was 28, which at that point felt ancient to me, and I was frightened of being alone. I told myself I was experiencing nothing more than a classic case of pre-wedding jitters. I threw myself into buying the big white dress and designing the invitations.

18 h. ago Fries with everything: fans swelter on Headingley’s Test return as Jaiswal tucks in

Queues for water refills and ice creams surpassed even those for beer at a sun-baked ground offering unseasonably hot sustenanceAfter two years without a Test here, 23 in which India’s red-ball side had visited only once, seven months since the last tickets for the first three days were snapped up and six in which the sum total of England’s action in this format had been a low-key three-day win over Zimbabwe, it is fair to say that Leeds was ready for this. Or at least, in classic Yorkshire fashion, that it would be ready in its own sweet time.Play started with the stands barely half-full and television commentators feeling they had to remind viewers the day was actually a sellout.
