The ultimate cheesy indulgence in nine simple stepsFive years ago, I was worried that the pandemic had killed off fondue for ever. And, while it wasn’t my biggest concern back in February 2020, a world that couldn’t come together over molten cheese still seemed a bleak prospect. Clearly I wasn’t alone, because Swiss public health experts were later forced to issue reassurance – thankfully, the only risk here is overindulgence.Prep 10 min Cook 15 min Serves 4 Continue reading...

31 h. ago The Brutalist is about a great architect. Columbus is a heartfelt tribute to great architecture

This critically acclaimed drama about how spaces can haunt and heal us is the finest work of John Cho, Haley Lu Richardson and director Kogonada’s careersGet our weekend culture and lifestyle emailBrady Corbet’s Oscar hopeful The Brutalist offers a somewhat skewed depiction of architectural intent, one where public demonstrations of genius and private catharses have an outsized impact on a building’s design. Grand gestures and hidden intentions make for good drama, but physical space in The Brutalist is rendered secondary to psychological space — it’s a film about a great architect, not great architecture. For the latter, one must watch Korean-American director Kogonada’s film Columbus.Early on in this gentle drama, Jin (John Cho) speaks of renowned architect James Polshek’s belief in architecture as a “healing art” while looking at one of Polshek’s own designs: the glass walkway of the Columbus Regional Mental Health Center. While Jin admires its faintly dilapidated beauty, it is u...

31 h. ago Make a meal of it: how to jazz up a tin of baked beans | Kitchen aide

Sausages, cheese, chilli all probably spring immediately to mind, but have you considered wine or sage instead?How can I make a tin of baked beans tastier? “You’ve come to the right place,” says food writer Melek Erdal. “One of my most popular recipes ever was jazzed-up beans on toast, which came out of lockdown, when we were all utilising everything.” Essentially, when it comes to injecting flavour into baked beans, it’s all about the base, and for Erdal that means toasting spices (cumin seeds, ground coriander, aleppo chilli) in an ovenproof pan, then adding “the magic triangle”, namely ginger, garlic and chilli, and some oil. “Add the beans, crumble feta on top, then pop it in the oven until the top caramelises.” Erdal might also add a drizzle of tahini, “for a take on shakshuka, and a lovely brunch or lunch.”In a similar riffable vein, Eleanor Maidment, author of Pulse, makes a base of chorizo and red peppers, then adds beans and poaches some eggs in them. Cured meat is, of cour...
