A team of writers complete the vital book that Guardian journalist Dom Phillips was working on at the time of his murderOn page 165 of How to Save the Amazon, a black-and-white photo interrupts the text. Two wooden crucifixes stand in a freshly hacked clearing, lashed to tall, thin stumps. One of them bears the name Bruno Pereira. The other, Dominic Phillips, the author. The image splits the book in two. Before it, the pages are filled with Phillips’s vivid prose. After it, his friends and former colleagues have gathered and attempted to complete his work as best they can.Erected on the bank of the Itaquaí river, in a remote part of the Brazilian Amazon, the crosses mark the spot at which – early on the morning of 5 June 2022 – Pereira and Phillips were murdered. The two men had been travelling downriver in a small motorboat when they were attacked. Pereira, a Brazilian forest protector and Indigenous specialist, was shot first: three times, including in the back. Phillips...

This lemon cake will whack up the wow factor, while the filling and topping are a lot less fiddly and involved than they at first appearWhen I’m entertaining, I like a dessert that’s going to bring the wow factor, can be partially made ahead and isn’t too faffy. This nutty citrus cake ticks all of those boxes; it’s also baked in one tin and then cut into strips for layering. I use shop-bought lemon curd to save on time and, instead of making a ganache, I simply fold finely chopped white chocolate into whipped cream. Continue reading...

1 week ago Ollie Watkins on target as Aston Villa beat Bournemouth to boost top

A little over a month ago Aston Villa were preparing for the Parc des Princes and while they have enjoyed some memorable trips on the continent this campaign, it was hard to escape the sense that this one, in more modest surroundings in the spring Dorset sunshine, was arguably their most significant takeaway of the season yet.
