• Jourdan Dunn: ‘I got picked on for the way I looked at school'

  07-10-2017 15:00
  The model, 27, on self-consciousness, meeting Beyoncé and her pathological hatred of mustardI’ve always been the tall, lanky, skinny girl. I got picked on for the way I looked at school. In the fashion industry it’s celebrated, but when you’re 13 and your family’s from the Caribbean, it’s not. So it wasn’t really my plan to be a model. I didn’t really know what a model did. I wanted to be an actress or a dancer. I was really self-conscious about h

  This is my homage to the first curry my mother ever taught me to cookSome people end up working in the food industry by accident, but for most, there is probably a pivotal moment: a particular meal out or a great success in the kitchen that changed everything, for ever.The moment that changed the course of my life took place in a curry house on London’s Brick Lane at the age of 18. I’d just left home for university, and hadn’t realised quite how much I’d miss my mother&rs

  Stuffed pepper, tomato and courgette are my idea of the ultimate comfort food, so fill ’em up
  When I was growing up in Jerusalem, just about everything that could be stuffed was stuffed. Vine leaves were rolled round a mixture of rice and meat, filo sheets were filled with cheese, balls of sweet dough were packed with dried fruit, vegetables of all kinds were scooped out and their cavities filled.The work of preparing stuffed food was, and often still is, communal, meticulous and time-cons

  Ashamed of your toes? Passionate about hamsters? There are others who feel just the same. All you have to do is find them…Read enough stories about the internet and you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s main function is teenage bullying, criminal grooming and trolling public figures. But the internet also helps us find people like us, people you can’t spot on the bus, like never before. Before finding my own tribe in 2013, I was sad and broke, having traded my life savings

• Beauty: the best eye makeup removers | Sali Hughes

  07-10-2017 08:59
  It is reassuring to find that those that performed best were some old, oft-forgotten favouritesI rarely use eye makeup removers. One step, with a good balm cleanser and wet flannel, generally does the job of removing any shadow, liner and mascara, but I concede there are advantages to sweeping everything away before getting down to business on the face. I was reminded of this last month, when I cleaned off black liquid flicks and smoky shadow, and ended up with a filthy facecloth that

• Fit in my 40s: ‘I usually drink every night. So how’s my sober October?’

  07-10-2017 08:00
  The month thing is not really about giving up drinking, it’s about making a promise that you’ll start againMy first boss said the definition of an alcoholic was someone with DTs so bad they had to rig up a pulley from their necktie in order to get their first drink of the day to their mouth. I interviewed an American addiction guru once, who said that an alcoholic was somebody who, when they went out for an evening, didn’t know how many drinks they’d have had by the end.

  07-10-2017 07:45
  The letter you always wanted to writeI always felt foolish saying the words: “My father is an alcoholic.” You really weren’t drinking that much, but when you were drunk and started ranting – at society and incompetent politicians, at everything that annoyed you – my skin prickled with fear and all I wanted was to run away: from you, from a home that felt unsafe, from the verbal abuse and the threat of physical violence that never broke out, but which filled our

  The novelist Christopher Fowler and his father were never close – in fact, they barely had a relationship. One day, he asked his mother why he was so aggressive and angry, and suddenly everything made senseThe first time I touched my father was the day I cut his hair. Bill sat very still with his back to me, rigid and upright on a stool, a towel tied around his throat, and remained very quiet while I trimmed the white tufts behind his huge ears with kitchen scissors.
