this morning's first two candidates in the Chopin competition are just wow www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiBD...

I really miss Petroch Trelawney on radio 3 breakfast

Had this on all morning while I work and not only is it immensely soothing, but it's wonderful to see such talented people playing such beautiful music. It's on until 20th October too, what joy! www.youtube.com/live/sIgtpt5...

Today, the energy price cap set by Ofgem goes up yet again. ¼ of your bill was taken as profit by energy companies in 2024 — an average of £416 per household. Families are squeezed to pad the pockets of shareholders. 🧵 Here’s how the public has been turned into a cash machine.

Unbelievable riches in this mag-within-a-mag Paris Special in @vittles.bsky.social that @jonathandnunn.bsky.social has edited www.vittlesmagazine.com/p/vittles-pa...

for @vittles.bsky.social, i wrote on the joys of lentils via two recipes for making sundal, which is a dish that dares to be categorised into one thing but is actually many things – think beyond dal! this is my urging to you

Marta Zboralska on a dish she loves but which many people hate – fruit soup – and recipes for cooking from the polski sklep on @vittles.bsky.social www.vittlesmagazine.com/p/cooking-fr...

If reports of the EHRC guidance are correct, it is not compatible with trans people's human rights. It would usher in a system of segregation, policed via threats of legal action by those with money to burn. Trans people, as well as people who are not trans, face harassment.

I am excited to be working with Gabriella Doob at Ecco books for the US publication of my next book Meal Time, alongside Željka Marošević at Jonathan Cape! <3

Great to see this piece in Vittles on how exploited Filipino domestic workers find solace in London's Earl's Court. This kind of insight shows how the UK's immigration rules impact every fibre of society, from who runs the kitchen to who sits at the table. www.vittlesmagazine.com/p/every-fili...

i am not into football but was loving this podcast in the car yesterday hosted by Musa Okwonga, Juliet Jacques and Tom Williams after a rec by a friend podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/p...

just back from being on holiday (extended thx to lost passport gah) and read yesterday's @vittles.bsky.social feature this morning - such a fantastic piece of reporting www.vittlesmagazine.com/p/every-fili...

MAJOR BOOK ALERT 🚨!!!!

Rukmini is such a funny and generous writer 💘 for @vittles.bsky.social www.vittlesmagazine.com/p/the-things...

Secondly - I contributed a couple of recommendations to the @vittles.bsky.social Vittles Kids London Restaurant Guide (it has a map too - 75 restaurants!). One of my picks, The Big Easy, has a Kids Eat Free deal all summer btw ☀️ www.vittlesmagazine.com/p/the-vittle...

‘Palestine Action is not a terror organisation, as Mr Justice Chamberlain accepted in the injunction proceedings, in the “colloquial” meaning of the term. That observation is likely to be central to future hearings.’ David Renton in the next issue, online early: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

A week late to this but what a great idea and a beautiful illustration

Illustrator of Rukmini Iyer's piece for @vittles.bsky.social Lizzy Stewart is making Giclee prints of her beautiful image and all profits to go to The Sameer Project to raise money for Gaza lizzystewart.bigcartel.com/product/pre-...

Kudos + thanks @vittles.bsky.social for carrying this powerful and accurate essay about the reality of parenting and feeding children with allergies. Do I wish I could just shove an omelette in front of them? Sure. It’s not the bit that leaves me strung out. www.vittlesmagazine.com/p/that-must-...

Was pleased to contribute to the @vittles.bsky.social Vittles Kids special in a couple of different ways www.vittlesmagazine.com/p/vittles-ki...

It's the @vittles.bsky.social Kids London Restaurant Guide! 75 personal recommendations from Vittles writers for where to eat with children in London – and a handy map www.vittlesmagazine.com/p/the-vittle...

Nothing like seeing a room of Louise Bourgeois drawings to make you think : fuck it is so important that people make art

Four allergy-friendly recipes from Rukmini Iyer and some very sage advice on catering a children's party in today's @vittles.bsky.social ! www.vittlesmagazine.com/p/rukmini-iy...

This is such a poignant, eye-opening and brilliantly written piece by Laura Goodman on her family's experience of food allergy. Part of @vittles.bsky.social's special new series on children and food.👇 open.substack.com/pub/vittles/...

Illustrator of Rukmini Iyer's piece for @vittles.bsky.social Lizzy Stewart is making Giclee prints of her beautiful image and all profits to go to The Sameer Project to raise money for Gaza lizzystewart.bigcartel.com/product/pre-...

Looking forward to reading this and continuing to think about the really strange/marvellous/worrying topic of children and food

And imho someone should commission Laura to write this as a nonfiction book

‘Z is being sick fifty to sixty times a day, and we’d become so panicked by the volume of vomit we’d taken her to A&E. The doctor is annoyed because as far as he’s concerned Z has a bit of reflux’ Laura Goodman on raising kids with allergies @vittles.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/vittles/...

Today on @vittles.bsky.social www.vittlesmagazine.com/p/vittles-ki...

All famines are man-made, all famines are political. Historians of empire and humanitarianism have known this forever. Gaza is not starving, Gaza is being starved, by Israel, and this starvation is enabled by our government and by every other government that does not step in to force food and aid.

this government becomes more disgusting with every day that passes

I did not think I would find myself being thankful for the existence of Peter Hain, but life is strange. He calls proscription "intellectually bankrupt, politically unprincipled and morally wrong."

Very fun piece in @vittles.bsky.social today! www.vittlesmagazine.com/p/diary-of-a...

Long live the banana split! www.vittlesmagazine.com/p/long-live-...

critical reading

‘I believe that damaging and destroying weapons of war is one way of waging peace: I can only conclude that for the British government, the waging of peace is terrorism.’ Huw Lemmey on Palestine Action, online early from our next issue: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Essential reading www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

“We can have clean water or privatised water, but we can’t have both.” As @ewanmg.bsky.social explains in @theguardian.com, public ownership is popular, and the Government CAN bring water into public hands at almost ZERO cost to the taxpayer. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Incredible menu of Malaysian Chinese dishes by Siqi Chong in today's @vittles.bsky.social cooking www.vittlesmagazine.com/p/three-dish...

What is anyone's voice worth if they won't speak out against genocide? There is nothing in culture that is untouched by the genocide and mass starvation being perpetrated against the Palestinians by the Israeli state. There is no inappropriate position from which to condemn it.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.
