Slow-Cooked Black Treacle Ham Nothing will ever take the place of my Ham in Coca-Cola from Bites — in my heart or on my table — but this slow-baked ham is a revelation of a different sort. The meat is astonishingly tender and carv...

This only happens to you once

You missed a zero off the end (*this is not medical advice).

The idea of replacing Starmer is just utter nonsense. He's just won an election with a huge majority. It would look foolhardy, sel-obssessed, chaotic, insane: classic Tory bollocks.

A quick reminder of what today is really about: Russia threatens Europe. America is gone. It will not save us. Britain and Europe must work closely and with trust, on defense and everything else, in order to counter the Kremlin threat.

Loved this book!

Comment under a book review in the Sunday Times: “Book Advert”! Plus response to it: “It’s in the review section. Do you baulk at the film reviews because you think they might be persuading you to go to the cinema?”

Anyone on social media doesn’t need to be told that people can be odd, but this comment below a book review in the Sunday Times is really quite something! (Good reply to it, though.)

Lemon Pavlova Ever since my first pav in How To Eat, I have been something of a pavaholic. For me, acidity is key. So naturally, a lemon pavlova made perfect sense. You will note there are a lot of flaked almonds ...

British troops have fought and died alongside the Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq, just to be written off as non-existent people from "some random country". We have to maintain tolerable relations with this administration to try and minimise damage, but my god it's not easy.

Thank you! Most antidepressants are still prescribed by doctors, we sometimes put “your prescriber” in the information but it always sounds a bit clunky.
