I’ve made this and can confirm it is deeply delicious- even with old, back of the fridge mushrooms!

After finding the secret herbal garden of Prester John, picking mint sprinkled with dew in the deserts of Inner Mongolia and soaking the tomatoes for three full moons in the lapis lazuli from the slopes of Tien-Shan I have cooked the Ottolenghi pearl-barley stew.

The RNLI volunteer has told us that donations usually run at £20,000 per day. Currently running at £100,000 per day! Bloody brilliant!

If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this. Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how. Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

And I have loathed WW2 stuff since O’Levels. Bloody Mary and the female pope were favourite chapters. Highly recommend!

I’ve just finished this - I don’t know how long it took you to write @ottoenglish.bsky.social but I am in awe. It is so well researched and detailed but also wide-ranging and humorous. I liked the references back and forward in time to link other chapters, and I lapped up the WW2 chapters…

Very very upset at the University of Cambridge higher ups. I don’t think their remaining in situ given this week - in court and with Arday - is remotely tenable.

Hive mind - help: a critter is leaving us a walnut on our back step four times in the last week. Exactly the same spot. Very rural garden so not human. What?

Bev A @beva.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Ordered! Looking forward to it :)

If you want a completely different book that will twist your mind, order this. It sneakily captures you and draws you in. I didn’t realise how much until I welled up at the end, and I haven’t done that in years! (Funny too)

Bev A @beva.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

Same for me Erin! I don’t think I’ve ever read anything quite like it

I made the mistake of being so enthusiastic I bought some more from a supermarket- so stringy!

So true - I thought I didn’t like asparagus but a neighbour gave us some from their garden and it was a revelation!

You are so welcome. I’ve never read anything quite like it.

Bev A @beva.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

Wow Tom. Just finished it with a very large gulp and something in my eye. I’m not going to forget this book in a long while. It’s also very funny and strange/enchanting but right now I miss them. Thank you!

I’ve lost my Sunday because of you! Only half way through but Husband gave up waiting and went out for a takeaway for our tea and I’m sure drop-kicked hobbits will figure in my dreams tonight 😂😂😂

THREAD. In her exclusive interview in today's Daily Telegraph Magazine, the actor, influencer and designer Philippa Islington-Smythe (pictured) discusses the price of fame, her controversial new perfume, working with Margot Robbie and how becoming a parent changed her perspective on the world...

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

Quietly livid. My school's careers officer never once suggested that 'Swedish Pop Provocateur' was a job opportunity.

Foster house guest #70! Meet Luigi. Horrible back story, and I think he will be with us a while, but he’s had a good long sleep, discovered roast chicken (paws up to that) and is getting used to the quiet.

It’s so selfish! I did manage to shame one man into moving, although it involved me running after him (my Dad was mortified but I was so cross!)

The email was a scam - very common now. It’s purporting to be the Elsevier journal but takes you to an imitator site to take your cash.

That isn’t from Elsevier?

Buy this book! I don’t tend to by courtroom dramas but I’m so glad I did - this one is gripping!
