7 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?

2 w. ago Adults review – Friends for the TikTok generation sitcom is a try

A group of twentysomethings living in New York (except it’s Toronto) pratfall through life in an often embarrassing and rarely funny attempt to fill a gapAdults, FX’s new twenty-something comedy implicitly pitched as the Friends or Girls for the TikTok and location-sharing generation, opens with a studiously replicated scene of codependent young adulthood: five friends tangled together on a New York subway, their belongings and in-group references strewn between each other. In barely a minute, the characters gab in the way you’d imagine adult-adults imagine young-adults speak, breezing through exposition, getting high, being broke and not having enough hot water to shower. This being New York, there’s also a subway masturbator, which Issa (Amita Rao), the loudest and bawdiest of a loud and bawdy group, handles by over-engaging, attempting to out-masturbate the creep. “Is this the world you want?!” she shouts, to the horror of everyone else on the train.To my horror, as well – there’...
