Lamb and feta meatballs from Easy Ottolenghi.

- Easy Ottolenghi: eight main course recipes for autumn | Life and style | The Guardian
Serve as a snack or starter, or bulk it up into a main course with some creamy mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables alongside. The pomegranate molasses are a wonderful addition, but if you don’t have any, the dish will work fine without. Serves six as a starter or snack.


500g minced lamb
100g feta, crumbled into roughly

1cm pieces
2 tbsp picked thyme leaves
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
10g parsley leaves, finely chopped
1 slice white bread, blitzed
½ tsp ground cinnamon
Salt and black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp pomegranate molasses, plus 1 tbsp extra to serve (optional)

Heat the oven to 200C/390F/gas mark 6. Put all the ingredients apart from the oil and pomegranate molasses in a large bowl, add three-quarters of a teaspoon of salt and plenty of pepper, and mix with your hands to combine. Still using your hands, divide the meatball mix into 18 roughly 35g portions and form each into 4cm-wide balls.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan on a medium-high flame, then fry the meatballs (cook them in batches, if need be), for five to six minutes in total, gently turning them throughout, until golden brown all over. Transfer the meatballs to an oven tray lined with baking paper, drizzle pomegranate molasses over the top, if using, and bake for five minutes, to cook through.

Serve hot, with a final tablespoon of pomegranate molasses spooned on top.

Lamb and bulgur meatballs from Easy Ottolenghi.

- Easy Ottolenghi: meat recipes | Global | The Guardian
These couldn’t be easier; you don’t even need to saute the onions – just mix everything, shape into balls and cook. Chop the onions nice and fine, though, so the meatballs stay compact once they’re in the pan. If you wish, you can prep and roll the meatballs well in advance; that way, you can have them on the table within 15 minutes later in the day. Serves four.

80g bulgur wheat
500g minced lamb
½ onion, peeled and very finely chopped
15g parsley leaves, finely chopped
1 tbsp dried mint
1½ tsp ground cumin
¾ tsp ground cinnamon
1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
Salt and black pepper
100g feta, crumbled into 0.5cm pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
200g Greek yoghurt
5g mint leaves, roughly chopped
4 tsp lemon juice

Heat the oven to 200C/390F/gas mark 6. Half-fill a small saucepan with cold water, bring to a boil, and cook the bulgur for three minutes. Drain in a sieve or colander and set aside until dry: you should end up with about 200g of cooked bulgur.

Tip the bulgur into a large bowl and add the lamb, onion, parsley, dried mint, cumin, cinnamon, garlic, three-quarters of a teaspoon of salt and plenty of pepper. Mix well to combine, then gently fold in the feta. Divide the mix into 16 balls, weighing about 55g each, then gently but firmly press together, so they hold their shape later.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan on a medium-high flame, then fry the meatballs, turning them regularly, for eight to 10 minutes, until golden-brown all over (fry them in batches, if need be).

Transfer the browned meatballs to a small baking tray and bake for five minutes, to finish off cooking. Serve four balls a person with some yoghurt spooned alongside, a sprinkle of mint on top and a drizzle of lemon juice.

Bulgur with tomato, aubergine and preserved lemon yoghurt by Yotam Ottolenghi.

- Yotam Ottolenghi’s tomato recipes | Food | The Guardian
This is made of three components – roasted aubergine, bulgur with tomato, and yoghurt sauce – all of which I adore on their own. Together, however, they make a truly memorable vegetarian main, which can easily be turned vegan by using a dairy-free yoghurt. It also works as a side dish, in which case these quantities will serve six to eight.

Prep 15 min
Cook 45 min
Serves 4 as a main

2 large aubergines (500g net weight), cut into 3cm chunks
100ml olive oil
Salt and black pepper
2 onions, peeled and finely sliced
3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1 tsp ground allspice
400g cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp tomato paste
250g bulgur wheat
200g Greek-style yoghurt
1 small preserved lemon, pips discarded, skin and flesh finely chopped
10g mint leaves (about 1 tbsp) finely shredded

Heat the oven to 220C/425F/gas 7. Put the aubergine in a large bowl with four tablespoons of oil, half a teaspoon of salt and a good grind of pepper. Mix, then spread out on a large oven tray lined with greaseproof paper and roast for 30-35 minutes, stirring once halfway, until the aubergines are caramelised and soft. Take out of the oven and leave to cool.

Meanwhile, put three tablespoons of oil in a large saute pan for which you have a lid and heat on a medium-high flame. Once hot, fry the onion for eight minutes, stirring a few times, until caramelised and soft. Add the garlic and allspice, fry for a minute, stirring continuously, until the garlic is aromatic and starting to brown, then add the cherry tomatoes, mashing them with a potato masher to break them up. Stir in the tomato paste, 400ml water and a teaspoon of salt, bring to a boil, turn down the heat to medium-low, cover and cook for 12 minutes. Add the bulgur, stirring it in so it’s completely coated, then turn off the heat and set aside for 20 minutes, so the bulgur can absorb all the liquid.

In a medium bowl, mix the yoghurt with the preserved lemon, half the mint and an eighth of a teaspoon of salt.

Divide the bulgur between four plates and serve with the yoghurt and aubergine alongside and a sprinkling of the remaining mint.

Aromatic olive oil mash by Yotam Ottolenghi.

- Yotam Ottolenghi’s potato recipes | Food | The Guardian
Olive oil-based mashed potatoes are good with oily fish or steamed vegetables, for when you prefer keeping things lighter and less creamy. I’ve used thyme, mint, lemon and garlic to flavour the potatoes when they are boiled, but there’s no reason not to experiment with different herbs.

Prep 8 min
Cook 30 min
Serves 4 as a side dish

1kg desiree potatoes, peeled and cut into 3cm pieces
5g thyme sprigs (about 6 sprigs)
10g mint sprigs (about 3 sprigs)
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 lemon – peel finely shaved into 5 long strips
Salt and black pepper
100ml olive oil

For the topping
60ml olive oil
1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
2 tsp thyme leaves, finely chopped
About 8 mint leaves, finely chopped (to get 2 tsp)
1 lemon – zest finely grated, then juiced to get 1 tbsp

Put the potatoes, thyme, mint, garlic, lemon peel and two teaspoons of salt in a large saucepan. Cover with enough cold water to come 2cm above the potatoes, bring to a boil and leave to simmer gently for 20-25 minutes, until the potatoes are soft enough to mash.

While the potatoes are cooking, make the topping. Put the oil, garlic, thyme, mint, lemon zest and juice in a small bowl with an eighth of a teaspoon of salt and a good grind of pepper, and stir to combine.

Drain the cooked potatoes into a sieve set over a large bowl (you’ll need some of the cooking water later, so don’t throw it all away). Pick out the thyme and mint, then return the potatoes to the pan with the garlic and lemon peel. Using a masher, mash the potatoes; as you go, slowly add 100ml oil and 120ml of the aromatic cooking water, until you have a smooth mash.

Transfer the mash to a platter and use the back of a spoon to make little dips all over the surface. Drizzle the herb and garlic oil evenly over the top and finish with a good grind of black pepper.

Mustardy Cauliflower Cheese by Yotam Ottolenghi
A neat take on a classic.
Serves four.

50g puy lentils
1 large cauliflower, separated into 4cm florets
2 tbsp ghee
2 banana shallots, peeled and diced fine
1½ tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp mustard powder
2 green chillis, deseeded and finely diced
1 tsp black mustard seeds
200ml double cream
90g mature cheddar, grated
15g parmesan, grated
Salt
15g panko breadcrumbs
5g parsley, finely chopped

Heat the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4. Tip the lentils into a small pan filled with boiling water and simmer for 18 minutes, until al dente. Drain, refresh and leave to drip-dry.

Steam the cauliflower over boiling water for five minutes, until just softening, remove and set aside.

Melt the ghee in a round, 24cm casserole pan on a medium heat, and sauté the shallots for eight minutes, until soft and golden. Add the cumin, curry and mustard powders, and chilli, and cook for five minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the mustard seeds, cook for a minute, then stir in the cream, 80g of the cheddar, all the parmesan and half a teaspoon of salt. Simmer for a minute or two, so the sauce thickens slightly, then add the lentils and cauliflower. Stir gently, simmer for a minute more, then take off the heat.

In a small bowl, mix the panko, remaining cheddar and parsley. Sprinkle over the cauliflower, then bake for eight minutes, until bubbling and hot. Brown under a high grill for two to four minutes, until the top is golden and crisp (watch that it doesn’t burn). Remove, leave to cool down slightly and serve.

Роуз Вайли /Rose Wylie/ - художница из Великобритании.


- Живопись захватывает так, что тебе не приходится волноваться за разрушащийся - стареющий дом или переживать за семью.
Ты забываешь обо всем, - так Роуз Вайли начала свой рассказ об учебе в сельской художественной школе, которая изменила ее повседневную жизнь и обратила на поиски новых путей в живописи.
- Мне нравится, что во время работы не переставая приходят решения. А решением может быть все. Ты думаешь, как много всего, как много контрастов - строгости и небрежности, элегантности и отчаянной неопределенности.
Я ненавижу элегантность... Я люблю грубое полотно.

Набор кодов живописи Вайли несложно расшифровать.
Это все, что она видит вокруг: звезды спорта и ТВ, кинематограф, известные медийные истории.
В ее работах затрагиваются проблемы, которые волнуют нас именно сейчас — обожествление культа тела, ожирение, пресыщенность жизнью, звездная болезнь.
Это псевдонаивный взгляд ироничного взрослого, обладающего бесценным жизненным опытом и вдобавок прекрасным знанием истории искусства.
Все это художница пропускает через себя и выдает в свойственной ей манере наивной живописи: рисунки Вайли впитали в себя как манеру письма Эль Греко, так и анимационную стилистику South Park.

- Lack of money was not a limitation to her; she and her family had strategies to overcome this, offering informal painting classes at their house and turning the garden into a place for students to camp. In a short film, Wylie says that friends of her children asked why she was always dressed in the same clothes; her reply was “as a radical non consumer, I prefer dealing with what I have.

- "I live in the countryside in Kent, and in the 1970s, there was a teenage girl from across the way who used to wash cars outside her house," she explains.
"She was always wearing a bikini, with a fag coming out of her mouth.
I affectionately nicknamed her Lolita.
More recently, I did a sketch of a girl leaning on a car, and it reminded me of her.
It was the beginning of an entire series of works about the place that I call home."


Recently, we identified artist Rose Wylie as one of the Aero Girls. Her portrait by artist Anthony Devas is one of at least twenty oil paintings of women commissioned to relaunch the Aero bar after the Second World War, as sugar rationing was finally coming to an end.

машина продается компанией которая занимается именно мини по всей стране - они дорожат репутацией и машина будет продана нам если она пройдет все тесты - если нет - они отправят ее на аукцион - если все в порядке она будет готова и в Пуле 30 июля!
Мы позвонили им опять и они объяснили - фактических владельцев было 2 и плюс их компания которая владела ей новой как демонстратором - кто-то ошибся и поставил 4 владельца...4 сиденья...4 двери...и поставил 4 владельца - но это ошибка!

Да мне жаль мою ораньжевую красотку...но в конце концов это всего лишь машина и деньги "дареные" - правительство выплачивает ему на нужды £300 в месяц - я их копила пока я сама работала - теперь они заменят мой заработок - так что мы проживем!
