Beer and cheese, two ingredients that don’t immediately scream soup to much of the world, are the cornerstones of one such midwestern speciality, particularly beloved in Wisconsin, with its prominent dairy and brewing industries. Beer soups are also found from Alsace to Russia (and, indeed, Wisconsin has a significant northern European heritage population). The cheese, …

Meera Sodha’s vegan recipe for massaman tofu and potato curry with rainbow chard | Thai food and drink
A confession: I have already written a recipe for massaman curry. But since that was published in 2018, I have had a baby, a breakdown, travelled back to Thailand and eaten more massaman curries, all events that have contributed to this new recipe. The old dish is delicious, but in 2025 I didn’t want to …
Cocktail of the week: Bibi’s jaggery old fashioned | Cocktails
A decidedly rich and decadent take on the classic, accented by Indian flavours. The bourbon mix and syrup both make enough to serve 15, but both keep well in the fridge. To save on waste, save the strained ghee for baking – it will add a boozy sweetness to all sorts. Ghee-washed bourbon pancakes, anyone? …
Best Corn Casserole Recipe
When it comes to holiday casseroles, I’ll always make room for green bean casserole and stuffing, but there’s one casserole that MUST make an appearance every year: corn casserole.

Best Brussels Sprout Casserole Recipe
In my opinion, Brussels sprouts are the unsung heroes of the holiday season. Their earthy, nutty, slightly sweet flavor is perfect for comforting dishes, and, even if you aren’t traditionally a fan of Brussels sprouts, this cheesy casserole is here to prove it. Baked in a cheesy, creamy sauce and topped with crispy bacon, this …

This recipe takes inspiration from delicious tikka marinades and uses tender fillets of Tesco Finest Scottish salmon. It’s a fantastic and easy weeknight supper, packed with spicy and fragrant flavours. To further elevate the dish, I used a range of Tesco Finest ingredients.

Helen Goh’s recipe for pear, chocolate and hazelnut torte | Food
Unlike lighter, flour-based cakes, tortes are traditionally rich and dense. Often made with ground nuts instead of flour, this gives them a fudgy, moist texture. Here, ripe pears sink gently into a dark chocolate and hazelnut batter, with the flavours of vanilla, almond and cardamom subtly enhancing the depth of the chocolate and teasing out …
Turmeric coconut curry and merguez ragu: Ben Lippett’s recipes for baked eggs | Food
So, hear me out: the best baked eggs don’t ever hit the oven … When testing these recipes, I found that simply adding a lid creates a steamy environment to cook the top of the eggs, delivering a gently cooked, perfectly poached egg with a tender white and a warm, runny yolk. The intense, dry …
