Although I’m an omnivore, I like to cook plant-based food when it makes sense. A plant-rich diet is widely accepted as one of the most healthy, and can also be more economical, especially when you practice root-to-fruit eating by using up every last morsel. In this recipe, for instance, flaxseeds and aquafaba take the place of eggs and milk, and are much cheaper. This rather humble pie is food at its most thrifty and nutritious, a filling and economical weekday meal that is also comforting, especially as the cold nights draw in.

There are a few no-miss TV pitches, shows that will be commissioned again and again until the light fades out of the sky: “coppers – what if there was a good one?”; “genius detective investigates a murder despite not quite being over their dead kid”; “we’ll never work out as a couple … unless?”; and, of course, “I’m a spy, but get this: one who breaks all the rules”. They won’t stop making them and I won’t stop watching them. And so I gleefully welcome season three of Slow Horses (Apple TV+, from Friday 1 December). Hodgson said:] ‘Look, there are certain aspects of your game that you need to improve on.’ He obviously encouraged me to work on it, especially on the intensity - to improve on the pace. That’s what he noticed in my game and I managed to work on that and that’s why I managed to play a couple of games.” You are as brilliant as the best thing in nature and could only be here because you belong here, wild and unpredictable as everything else. We have to make that assumption that, following the events of last night, we’re going to see further such protests,” he said.Birbalsingh has founded a school, Michaela Community School, which takes these ideas as their founding principles. Teachers at Michaela focus on teaching content, students are expected to focus on retaining the information and to this end, they attend lessons which follow the Michaela system, which they summarise as ‘Reading, explanations and pupil practice’ (Birbalsingh, 2016). This change in the law is undoubtedly a step in the right direction, but we need to be having these discussions in the UK, too. In the meantime, we are not completely powerless. If you want to stop the adverts, there are things you can do, Laux tells me. Turning off personalised ads in your settings, or hiding ads in your feed if you don’t want to see them again, are some options. This dance with nature is a love affair. Our bodies were intended to work alongside the earth, nourishing it as it nourishes us. It is no coincidence that the very air we breathe is given to us by plants and the very air that we expel is taken in by plants. Did we maneuver or stress or organize to ensure these happenings? We did not. And it is no coincidence that those same plants are the ones with which we fill our bodies. Did we plan any of this? We did not.

Earlier this year, Dikgacoi tweeted he ‘had to run’ from one of west London’s wilder inhabitants. But that wasn’t the only complication he faced as he settled in to English life. A heartfelt, artful manifesto focused on living fully and authentically… By turns simplistic, elegaic, and illuminative.” – Kirkus For example, in her chapter on loneliness she writes, "If what you want is to not be lonely, then lonely cannot be an identity that you create for yourself. It cannot be how you think of yourself." She goes on to make the reader think about what they want in that moment, and then ways they can immediately begin making that happen for themselves, mainly through a deconstruction of old thought patterns and practices and a focus on a more intimate, vibrant way of perceiving the self and world around us. It's an immensely hard-hitting yet easily accessible concept Daley-Ward has crafted! There's such a stunning balance of lyricism, introspection, and work that makes the whole book and its theories a standout. I occasionally work with public writing groups and think this book would be great as way for them to prompt their thinking and relax them into writing their own similar explorations where they can engage with themselves. Some of the prompts were great for loosening my mind a little, and think they’d be great exercises in getting people to just put words on paper. I am sure I have read other compilations from poets with inspirational quotes or thoughts, but I can’t think of any like this. When a poet writes a self help book, it can’t help but be magic. Poets think differently, and ask unique questions of themselves, of us, of words, of imagination. This book was a treasure trove of wisdom and the poet as teacher is powerful.There is a reason the heart does not speak aloud. We would be immobilized by its beauty. Words make the work of our dreams touchable, somehow more concrete.” But he admitted that the Gardai’s tactics and equipment would need to be boosted in light of the riots, which he said was the worst in the city for decades. On Friday morning, Garda Commissioner Harris said officers made 34 arrests during the rioting, with 13 shops “significantly damaged or subject to looting”. Now, in The How, Yrsa encourages readers to begin, as she puts it, the great work of meeting ourselves. This isn’t the self we’ve built up in response to our surroundings, or the self we manufacture to please the people around us, but instead, our most intimate self, the one we visit in dreams, the one that calls to us from a glimmering future.
