There's a recipe for spiced pear and stem ginger cookies in my latest @suffolknews.bsky.social food column. If you're waiting for hard pears to ripen, use them to make these!

What makes you proud to be British? For me, this is right up there.

A one-star review from a Texan tourist visiting Liverpool:

“My wife and I visted Liverpool for our 30th wedding anniversary from Texas. Our evening was ruined when a man dressed as an adult baby called my wife a "Mad yank slut" because she'd never heard of a band called Steps.”

It's a real favorite but I can't bring myself to bake it unless it's autumn

A very pretty carrot cake at Abbeygate Cinema Cafe.

A cake iced with cream cheese scattered with edible flower petals and slivered pistachios . It's inside a glass cake dome with a wooden base.

There's another northerner at work. Once a year one of us brings in Parkin and nobody except us eats it. Which is fine with us.

It'll soon be time to start making your sticky parkin (an essential treat on Guy Fawkes Night), which improves with keeping. I've got a recipe for sticky fig and pear parkin.

This Palestinian man shed tears of joy upon finding his home in northern Gaza still standing.

Thousands of Palestinians are returning mostly to rubble in the north, following the pullback of Israeli forces under the ceasefire terms.

Here's an earlier review of Blythe Spirit:

Blythe Spirit: The Remarkable Life of Ronald Blythe by Ian Collins review – village voice

A biography of the bard of rural England reveals an unexpectedly adventurous sex life

So moving to listen to Ian Collins talk about his friendship with Ronnie Blythe and the wonderful biography that resulted. His account of Ronnie's last day of life had everyone in tears.

Ian and Nicola Upson sit on a stage, two wooden tables between them.

Sticky parkin. Sticky sausages. Baked potatoes. Homemade baked beans.

I adore pumpkin gnocchi. I have a recipe for it with an orange, garlic and butter sauce.

Roasted pumpkin with carrots and beans in a curry-like sauce, sharpened with tamarind and lime, then enriched with spices and herbs, red onions, and chestnut mushrooms.

I love locking eyes with a toddler who is about to lose their shit & whispering “do it, let it out, you’re right this IS bullshit” and their eyes get big like they’re seeing the devil herself. Yes babes release your howls unleash the darkness rend the fabric of our eardrums and cleanse this Target.
