26 h. ago Yotam Ottolenghi: I tried intermittent fasting, and hated it. This is why we need to ditch the diets and go back to basics

The chef says we need to forget fads and focus on the joy of good food cooked with love• Yotam’s recipes for roast chicken with butter beans, and perfect potatoesThe kids normally have breakfast at 7.30. I make eggs – soft boiled, scrambled or an omelette – sliced cucumber, toast with butter and a bowl of yoghurt on the side. Whether I eat too depends on how much I ate the previous night – and how late.Last year, I decided I’d skip breakfast altogether. I was reading everywhere about the benefits of intermittent fasting (IF) and it didn’t feel like a huge sacrifice. Apparently, if I managed to avoid food for 16 hours, half of it spent sleeping anyway, I was more likely to sustain weight loss compared with following any other diet. On top of that, fasting periods are said to allow the body to repair cells and, as a result, help to reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, general inflammation, memory loss, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and other maladies.

28 h. ago Meera Sodha’s vegan recipe for roast cauliflower with harissa pilaf | The new vegan

Roast cauli has an enticing nuttiness that makes it a great companion for spicy, herby baked riceBefore I became a food writer, I ate a lot of roast cauliflower most weeks because I adore it. I love how the florets take on flavour and fat. I enjoy how the personality of the cauliflower pops out when you roast the bejesus out of it to reveal a caramel-like bitter sweetness. And I am a fan of how cheap and comforting it is. This recipe is a celebration of the roast cauliflower and, since the oven is on anyway, I’ve made a baked rice to go with it (credit to Yotam Ottolenghi for the technique) that is herby, nutty, hot with harissa and brought together with a thwack of lemon juice.

30 h. ago How to turn excess celery leaves into celery salt – recipe | Waste not

If you ever wondered how to make celery salt, read on: it’s superbly thrifty and simpleI came across homemade celery salt by accident. As part of my ongoing mission to use up every part of any vegetable, I dehydrated some celeriac leaves to use as a garnish for a savoury cheese and mushroom porridge (see next week’s column), and was astounded by their rich, umami flavour. It was then that I realised they could be ground with sea salt to make that old kitchen staple, celery salt. Celery salt can be used to replace regular table salt and as a flavour enhancer for just about any savoury dish, from soup to salad; it’s also delicious as a seasoning for meat or fish and, of course, makes a sublimely savoury bloody mary.

It is a world of 13-hour days, stressful castings and size 6 figures. Here is what it is like to navigate the big opportunities – and impossible demands‘She was sitting at the kitchen table, eating raw cauliflower. For dinner.” It’s September 2024 in London and my friend is reflecting on her time sharing an apartment with fellow models in Paris the previous year. I am grimly amused, but unsurprised. This is the type of story models are always telling.I would know, because I became a model at 21 – quite late, by industry standards – and have walked in several London shows, as well as fittings, showrooms, campaigns, editorials, lookbooks and e-commerce for brands such as Moncler, Lacoste and Toni & Guy. Since I started, I have tried to build a thick skin to protect myself against rejections from castings and call-backs, as well as the ubiquitous skinny body standard. But when I get selected for a show, there is always the underlying fear that perhaps I took it too far – that I los...
