Those mice on the carrot are heaven. As are the top heavy baby owls. And that Luca Turin piece, absolutely wonderful. Apart from how beautifully written it is, it made me crave chestnut cream, instead of praline cream (my current Paris Brest doomed obsession).

On days like this I really, really I wish I lived in London. The market on primrose sounds like what dreams are made of 😍😍😍

Day of the Jackal is soooo good! (Bianca could be straight out of Slow Horses … and that’s all I’ll say about that!)

Creme de Marrons..... dreamy. When I was last in France, I found a trio pack of teeny tiny tins - can't bear to open them as they are so beautiful. If only I could hang these little darlings on my Christmas tree!!

Chestnut meringue roulade = very easy festive pudding

Is it wrong to laugh at a divorce playlist? Thank god it wasn't available in the 70s or my parents would have had it on repeat!

The mice on the carrot cheered me up no end! Alas sold out.

As always, full of gold, but I am now lost in 70s love, 80s break up - marvellous

Great content, as ever. A few thoughts: I always carry the (Labour and Wait) enamelled splatter spoon with me, just in case. Namely, buying a muesli from Pret and not being able to bear the texture of wood (or cloth) in my mouth. Just writing it gives me goosebumps. Plastic might be the planet's curse but it makes the best out-of-the-house spoons.

I agree about Arthur’s hatred of sourdough generally, but not always.

Dusty Knuckle's bread is terrific as is that made by Suffolk's Black Dog. At our restaurant, Watson and Walpole, Rob makes brilliant (wood oven-baked) flatbread and focaccia. The kitchen crew say he's with Dale when he's nurturing and kneading it. Reason? Its name after the movie character (Step Brothers) Dale Doback. What wit!

As for the fish tails, who knew!? Marvellous information.
