@DocKamran It’s just vile and devastating the lengths to which people go to for themselves and their kind to the derision and destruction of others. Abhorrent.

Epstein files release is horrific. The rich and powerful abusing vulnerable children without consequence is so depraved. Every single one of them must be held to account. The system is broken and needs a complete reset.

@ShafikMeghji @HurstPublishers @tomjcull @CullandCoAgency @MikeDwyerMike @TravWriters Fantastic, Shafik! I loved Crossed Off the Map and your articles that I’ve come across. Looking forward to your next large format work.

After a decade of trips, a year of writing & 82,812 words, the first draft of Small Earthquakes: A Journey Through Lost British History in South America has just been submitted to my editor at @HurstPublishers. A big thanks to @tomjcull, @CullandCoAgency & @MikeDwyerMike.

@matsoR Your work is excellent, stunning!

out today — two new songs, 'Shadow' and 'After Last Night,' with Carly Rae Jepsen— as well as an entire album, Euphoric, with Georgia check it all out on my production discography playlist bit.ly/Produced_by_Ro…

@matsoR A well-composed image.

@hishamad @Nigella_Lawson It’s arrived in NZ. I’m using Blue Sky now instead of Twitter but wanted you to know. Can’t wait to bake recipes from this informative and beautiful book. Thank you!

@KitchenAglow @Nigella_Lawson Thank yooooooou so much ❤️❤️

This week’s #CookbookCorner stars Taboon: Sweet and Savoury Delights from the Lebanese Bakery by @hishamad. Read more about it and get his recipe for Tamriye (Beignets Filled With Semolina Pudding) here: nigella.com/cookbook-corne…

I had the pleasure of dining at @MosquitoSupper earlier this year. Chef Melissa Martin’s new book, Bayou, contains one of the dishes I ate there & have been thinking about since: pickled shrimp. Clear instructions, bright flavours, beautiful texture. If only to be back in NOLA!

@gary_singh Please stay - if more leave, where else do we go…?

@AlisonMoyet Something is better than nothing. What a joy to harvest in any case.

Came downstairs to find he has gathered this years harvest in from the garden. I could set the cauldron of course, but I’m thinking they should go out the window & tomorrow I’ll be through the clouds legging it from a sleeping giant with a golden hen stuffed up me jumper. Lush

@collin_davison’s fennel & orzo (in the style of risotto) is a comforting & flavourful meal. I hadn’t halved fennel cross-wise on the profile before but now see the genius of the method. Although my fantasy husband @testcook wasn’t in the clip, I’ll repeat this flavourful dish.

@AlisonMoyet @kristianpurcell I understand how you feel, having lost too many in my life for various reasons, including my sister and both parents by the time I turned 41. The dreams are often unusual and curious, yet still comforting because of the visit.

@kristianpurcell Yes. It’s been one of those exact days.

Dreaming of someone you’ve lost is such a mixed blessing, isn’t it? To see them again is the gift, but then you just talk everyday small stuff bollocks, like another tomorrow comes, and never the stuff you want to share. Unsettling.

@KitchenBee I’ve recently made a slight adaptation. I’ve added 1 tablespoon of good hoisin sauce, so aromatic of star anise. It adds a haunting yet related note.

@KitchenAglow This is so lovely to hear and to see! Thank you 🙏

Since the release of her exquisite book The Secret of Cooking, I have made @KitchenBee’s bouillabaise sauce a lot - I make a new batch after I take out the last quart from the freezer - I 🫶 the unabashed use of fennel. Here this week w/ butternut squash & beans, & w/ shrimp.🤌

@lickedspoon Delightful combination. I can see why you’re not sad. Also, lovely herbs and plates.

Baked a goat's cheese in a pumpkin. Not sad.

In anticipation of @hishamad’s “Taboon” and being short on time, I made Hisham’s exquisite lemony and garlic-rich roasted chicken and potato traybake (djej w batata maa’ toom w hamod). Warming, strong, comforting flavours and a perfect midweek meal.

@gary_singh Looks beautiful. My knowledge of Puerto Rico just comes from friends, cooking recipes, reading and Miss Universe. Interesting how you eschew the feet by the pool/sea pic to prove you’re on holiday/somewhere tropical.

@nicmillerstale @FarmersClubBSE Wish I could be there for it! Such a cool engagement.

@foodandrambling Congratulations, Ana!

@AlisonMoyet Magic! 💫

I love this. Sound down. A rare Tok worth the Tik.

@gary_singh I used to live there and always visit when I’m in the USA.

@bestfitmusic @kylieminogue Excellent and informative review, @TheQHBlend

Enjoyable while not being beholden to her usual exploration and subversion, the sharp craft of Tension II confirms that this is @kylieminogue’s world and we’re fortunate enough to live in it buff.ly/4eP63BB

@GrabYourSpoon Both are great films, and BD’s performances are exquisite and so different!

It’s a beautiful day so instead of watching the Bette Davis double bill of Now Voyager & All About Eve, set to record & watch tomorrow when the storms hit.
