6 d. ago Which dips are OK to buy, and which should I make? | Kitchen aide

Our expert panel recommends the dips that are worth whizzing up fresh at home, and which shop-bought options are good to be titivated before servingDips are a great unifier, whether they’re married to a big bowl of crisps and crudites or served as a companion for a picnic spread. If there’s hummus, cacik or borani in the picture, then it’s a party. Happily, says David Carter, founder of Smokestak, Manteca and Oma in London, “you can get a lot of good stuff in stores these days”. That said, he adds, anything involving vegetables is “always going to be best when made fresh”.If your dip needs lead you to the shops, the trick is to create contrast. Much like getting dressed, you first need to consider the temperature. “Let’s say you have some shop-bought hummus,” Carter says. “If you put that in a pan with a bit of hot water and maybe some lemon juice, then whisk, the hummus will loosen, turn creamy and completely change from the usual fridge-cold stodge.”Got a culinary dilemma?

1 week ago ‘Worrying is my hobby’: Shura on overcoming injuries, writer’s block and being dropped twice by her label

The London musician has endured a lot since she emerged as a viral bedroom pop star back in 2014. Now she is channelling those setbacks into a new album that’s ‘devastating, but in a fun way’Recently Shura decided she wanted to fight. Already in what she calls her Muscle Mummy era – partly inspired by the Kristen Stewart-starring, queer bodybuilding thriller Love Lies Bleeding – this buff new mindset involved the singer, songwriter and producer learning jujitsu for the video for World’s Worst Girlfriend, the soft-pop highlight of this month’s excellently titled third album, I Got Too Sad for My Friends.Things didn’t go to plan, however. In her fourth class, coming out of a roll, she felt her knee go pop. One MRI scan later, having feared a more serious ligament tear, she was diagnosed with a knee problem known as Hoffa’s fat pad impingement. It means we’re meeting in a cafe/record shop hybrid a few metres from the west London flat she shares with her girlfriend. She remind...

last month Song He Lou, London W1: no neon, no bunting and not much jostling for tourist dollars – restaurant review | Grace Dent on restaurants

With three floors to fill, this 270-year-old restaurant chain’s understated approach feels rather boldThe demise of London’s Chinatown has long been predicted, what with recent rent and rate rises, and diners’ changing tastes. Yet on a spring lunchtime last week, business on Wardour Street was booming, with alfresco noodle-slurping, long queues and endless selfie sessions all in full swing.Song He Lou, a historic restaurant brand that champions Suzhou cuisine, clearly believes there are big profits to be made in this postcode, and it has put its money where its mouth is by opening a whopping 144-seater right here in the centre of Chinatown. I’m not chucking in that “historic” willy-nilly, either: Song He Lou was founded in Suzhou near Shanghai almost 270 years ago, during the reign of Emperor Qianglong, and makes Rules in nearby Covent Garden, which is a piffling 227, look like a fly-by-night pop-up.
