That food saved usRead more in the kindness of strangers seriesIt was 1996 when my husband was transferred to the small rural town of Healesville for work. In inner-city Melbourne, where we’d been living, we had a support network of neighbours, friends and family. In Healesville we didn’t know a soul.

95 m. ago Meet the members of the Dull Men’s Club: ‘Some of them would bore the ears off you’

An international club where dull people meet online to share the tedium of everyday lives is immensely popular. But for one man it’s a place of poignant connectionGet our weekend culture and lifestyle emailThe 18th-century English writer Samuel Johnson once wrote, ‘He is not only dull himself; he is the cause of dullness in others’.

In this club, they wear their dullness with pride. The duller the better.

4 h. ago How to make perfect tandoori chicken (without a tandoor) – recipe | Felicity Cloake's How to make the perfect

Don’t let the lack of a traditional clay oven stop you from making this ‘king of kebabs’ at homeWhen was the last time you had tandoori chicken? Described by the Liverpool Daily Post in 1962 as “roast chicken Indian fashion”, this delicately seasoned, but often luridly coloured, dish was once the mainstay of the British Indian restaurant menu; yet, always greedy for novelty, I can’t remember when I last had the pleasure.The loss is mine, because it’s one of the very best ways to eat chicken – rich and tender, thanks to its yoghurt marinade, tangy with lemon and perfumed with spice. Vivek Singh argues that “no Punjabi celebration can be complete without tandoori chicken”, while J Inder Singh Kalra went as far as to crown it the “king of kebabs”, a sentiment echoed by Rohit Ghai.

8 h. ago Fancy some iconic celeriac? New Nordic cuisine, now a blockbuster exhibition

Twenty years ago, a group of Scandinavian chefs announced a culinary revolution. But as Norway’s National museum celebrates the New Nordic manifesto’s impact on dining and the arts, has the movement betrayed its own ambitious ideals?When is gastronomy about more than just recipes? When it is New Nordic cuisine: to its advocates, the most influential culinary movement of the 21st century; to its detractors, a school of foodie puritans who have spent the last two decades sucking the joy out of dining and injecting it with po-faced declarations.If a decade of breathy Netflix food programming is to be believed, you could delicately tweezer some edible petals and micro-herbs on to locally foraged mushrooms and a bed of ancient grains, serve it with a naturally fermented lemonade, and you’ve got yourself a cracking (if not hugely substantive) New Nordic meal.
