Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!At the risk of denouncing the family name, football has become a bit of an emotional vampire. At its worst, modern football is a cesspit of bile, hype, nonsense, hot air and yellow tickers. But every time we think enough’s enough and it’s time to change our name to Tiddlywinks Biennially, something happens to remind us why we wanted to be called Football Daily in the first place. Of late, the thing keeping us away from the deed poll office is a team dressed in a red and blue Macron kit. In the English football zodiac, 2025 is the Year of the Eagle. Crystal Palace won the FA Cup, the first major trophy in their history, followed that with the Community Shield and are now, after beating Liverpool thrillingly on Saturday, the only unbeaten team left in the Premier League. On Thursday they will make history when they play Dynamo Kyiv in their first match of Tin Pot’s league stage.Taking ‘favourite shirt sponsors: go’ (last Tuesday’s Foo...

1 week ago The Kitchen Brigade review – heartfelt French cooking comedy shows migrants the ropes

A bunch of young immigrants are taught the the power of kitchen discipline by a white-saviour chef – but it’s a bit past its sell-by dateSticky, super sweet and messy as the remains of a smashed bottle of Cointreau, this comedy drama came out in its native France in 2022 and is only now making its way to the UK. But even those few years on the shelf have left it feeling uncomfortably out of touch with the urgency of the times when it comes to the way it handles the plight of young immigrants who facing increasing levels of hostility both in France itself and across the world with the rise of far-right activists.In Kitchen Brigade’s universe, almost all a bunch of undocumented teenagers need to help them get leave to remain is a white-saviour lady; in this case it is chef Cathy (Audrey Lamy), who comes to work at a refugee centre after she abruptly quits her job at a prominent high-end restaurant. In care herself as a child, Cathy doesn’t like authority much it seems (unless she’s th...

In this week’s Feast newsletter: With summer giving way to autumn, these good-value, flexible and accommodating eats will make life that little bit easier – and no less delicious• Sign up here for our weekly food newsletter, FeastSome days ago, my sister asked me for a few week-in, week-out meal suggestions. We were talking on the phone as she made her way to work in London and I waited for a bus in Rome. As Rosie asked me the question, the bus numbers and estimated times on the electric indicator scrambled before going blank. Despite being a full-time food writer working on a book that involves the repeated testing of 120 recipes, I couldn’t, at that moment, think of a single helpful recipe. I started rambling about chicken thighs, at which my sister, wisely, ended the call with a breezy: “Well, if anything comes to mind, let me know.” A minute later, the indicator flashed back on and the 792 arrived.In late September, still limping into a routine after the summer and interminable ...

3 w. ago Wanted: bakes to make use of a glut of homemade jam | Kitchen aide

Give cakes and cookies a fruity boost, lend breakfast a sweet lift – and save the rest to jar up as Christmas giftsI have a lot of jam made with all kinds of berries – are there any bakes that would use some of it up? Anne-Lies, Gouda, the Netherlands“Jam is at the heart of many great British puddings and cakes, so there are never too many jars in my house!” says Emily Cuddeford, co-founder of Edinburgh’s Twelve Triangles bakery. Her first thought, though, would be to tip a jar of the sweet stuff into a buttered ceramic baking dish and top it with sponge: “Make a classic, equal-parts mix scaled to your dish by creaming, say, 180g butter and 180g sugar, slowly beating in an egg and a dash of vanilla or lemon zest, and finishing with 180g self-raising flour.” Spoon that on top of the jam and bake at 190C (170C fan)/375F/gas 5 until the sponge “bounces back” and a skewer comes out clean. Serve warm with cream or custard, and job’s a good ’un.You’ll also want jam to fill or top cakes. “...
