• David Baddiel: 'Posh food isn't the best food. It's just a genre like Indian or Chinese'

  25-02-2018 13:00
  The comedian and writer on his mother’s terrible cooking, his first ever curry and trying to blow £8,000 in Armenia’s top restaurantMy childhood memories of cooking at home are of very overcooked meat, as tough as old boots. And a lot of fry-ups and 70s food like Vesta pancakes and a soup which went on for ever – like an enormous vat of what appeared to be water with one chicken claw in it.My mother was a terrible cook but I didn’t know that until I was about 13 and

• Covert cooking: how to bake a pie in prison

  25-02-2018 12:30
  When May Eaton was a writer in residence at a men’s jail, she found the inmates’ real creativity lay in the cakes and curries they made in their cellsI was in my 20s when I got a job working behind bars, a writer in a men’s prison, with the loose remit of fostering creativity. On my first morning I hitched a stiff leather belt around my jeans and was issued my own set of keys. The biggest, draconian looking, was for entry into the prison itself, accompanied by a cluster of smal

• ‘I’m 50. Am I too old to be a model again?’

  25-02-2018 09:00
  It’s been 25 years since Karen Dobres last worked as a model. Could she harness her ‘grey power’ to once again make it in an industry driven by youth?Recently, I read online that Vogue Italia had dedicated itself to “timelessness” with 73-year-old Lauren Hutton gracing its cover. By a weird quirk of fate, on the same day, the call to join a “grey rebellion” landed in my inbox. Grey Models, an agency for older fashion models, was running a one-day intensi

• Naples: Elena Ferrante’s brilliant city

  25-02-2018 08:00
  Fans of the writer’s Neapolitan novels are flocking to discover the south Italian city, whose personality is as important to the books as the protagonistsLike many tourists in Naples, I have only ever been there en route to somewhere else. For years the city has had a reputation for being dirty, dangerous and traffic-choked: why on earth would anyone choose to linger? But this has changed. Naples is becoming a destination in its own right, thanks in part to the huge popularity of the enigm

You don’t hear much about Paula, do you, the lesser-known Hitler, who worked as a secretary while big brother Adolf was upstairs doing the Holocaust? But yes, inspired by Paula, Br

  25-02-2018 07:00
  Perennial crops, like artichokes, asparagus and rhubarb, can produce continual harvests from a single planting for decades at a timeFinally! The first signs of spring are on the horizon. I’ll have to wait a while before I can sow batch after batch of the annual crops, like lettuce, carrots and beans, but there is one group that can be planted now that will give greater harvests for just a fraction of the work. Weirdly, they also tend to be more expensive and harder to track down in the sho

• Nigel Slater’s zesty pudding recipes

  25-02-2018 07:00
  Zest is the scented soul of the fruit: try it in citrus meringues or passion fruit and lemon mousse Sometimes, on a peaceful, grey winter’s day, I take a citrus fruit from the fridge – a lemon, a clementine, a yuzu if I can find one – pierce its skin and squeeze. Not enough pressure to send a bead of juice running down its peel, but just enough for its scent to float, briefly, brightly, on the air. The clean smell of citrus zest, rumoured to reduce stress in humans (cats hate i

I never questioned his marital status because I had known him as a colleague for eight years prior to our relationship and he always presented himself as a single man, dating many women “looking for the one”. I never

  Weight Watchers may be scrapping its ‘before and after’ photographs but there never was an after, there’s always only nowWe humans are a sucker for a journey. The tears I’ve shed watching a rural teenager get over the death of her grandmother through the healing properties of singing Whitney to Simon Cowell.

  New rooms filled with old furniture take this north London terrace back to its rootsCouple moves into dilapidated Victorian terrace; couple gets the builders in. So far, so familiar. But from that point onwards, Emilie Fournet and Ben Pester did things a bit differently. Instead of the standard revamp – knock down walls, add a blocky extension on the back – they did the reverse. They reinstated some internal walls, turning what had been an open-plan space back into a traditional hall

People know me for the Brexit case, but I’ve been a transparency activist in the City of London in the charity sector for years. I take it day to day and when I’m feeling at my lowest, have a cry.
