• Nigel Slater’s baked apple recipes

  Baked apples perfectly capture the flavour of autumn. Here are two dishes to enjoy, one savoury and one sweetThe apple tree must be 15 years old now, barely taller than its owner, its branches laden with the palest green and rose pink fruits. One of the first trees I planted in this garden, it has paid for itself 10 times over. Discovery, the snowiest white flesh flashed with pink, is not a cooking apple, but I often treat it as such. The fruit puffs up proudly in the oven without turning to fro

Hitchcock had kept me under contract so that I couldn’t work. We’d had a disagreement and I wanted to get out of the contr

• Simon Callow: my life, lived gaily

  From the Lavender Scare to equal marriage, British attitudes to homosexuality have been transformed, says actor Simon Callow“We that are young,” says the Duke of Albany at the end of King Lear, “shall never see so much, nor live so long.” But sometimes this sense that history is what happened to our predecessors disappears, and we are aware that we are in the living current of history, that vast developments are taking place, utterly changing our very sense of who we are.
