“We all need to learn to have more grace” Resilience. Grace. Graciousness. Over the past two weeks I have had several conversations where these words have been used to describe someone new to me, and each time I have found myself longing to be more of all of them. It struck me that these words are completely different to the descriptors we so often use when talking about our role models or loved ones; ‘inspirational’ and ‘empowering’ having dominated so many of our conversations over the past few years. Yet even these words of positivity have an implication of pressure – to inspire or empower suggests a leaning to greatness. And who wants that when they’re lying on their sofa eating Monster Munch while binge-watching The White Lotus? Grace, resilience…

THE MEANING OF LIFE IN 22 PROBING QUESTIONS Anjli Mohindra What will the Vigil and Bodyguard actor Anjli Mohindra make of our existential questions? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE? To have the best time you can. And to be as kind as you can along the way. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG? The intention behind it. Is it driven by love or fear? WHERE IS YOUR HAPPY PLACE? Brighton Beach. Vinegary chips. With Pimm’s in a can. NATURE OR NURTURE? We are definitely the product of both. IS IT MORE IMPORTANT TO BE LIKED OR RESPECTED? I’ve spent most of my life so far as a people pleaser and I’m learning to please myself a little more. Respect is my goal. Even if that’s just for…

A ONE-DAY DIARY FROM FLAT WHITE TO LIGHTS OUT Kai Kaimins, florist Kai, 25, is the owner of florist My Lady Garden in Dalston. She lives in northeast London My alarm goes off… At 6.30am. I get up straight away to make myself an oat milk latte and then check my phone. My parents live in Australia and will text me overnight, so I’ll reply to them and then I’ll scroll through my Instagram feed for a few minutes. Working with flowers is quite a messy job, so I’ll tend to get dressed in something comfortable and practical, like an oversized dad shirt, crop top and jeans and walk 10 minutes to the studio. I’m responsible for… Having final sign off on everything from floral arrangements to managing my…

“I’m more invested in celebrity relationships than my own” words: billie bhatia This summer I have fallen in love. Not with a tall, slightly nerdy cowboy as planned (if you’re reading this and you fit the bill, my DMs are open), but with a series of unexpected celebrity couples that have left me more invested in their relationships than my own. It started with Kourtney and Travis, or #Kravis. As individuals, I couldn’t care less about them – I have never been a Kardashian fan and the last time I listened to All The Small Things (Travis Barker, for those not in the know, is Blink-182’s drummer), I was 12 at a school disco. When Kourtney, the oldest Kardashian sister, Instagrammed a video of herself tattooing the phrase ‘I love…

There is, after all, something immensely enticing about this classic dessert. Maybe it’s the crisp bite of meringue combined with the freshness from the fruit, or perhaps it’s the contrasting layers melded together by luxurious cream... Whatever the secret to its appeal, pavlova is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Which is why it’s fitting that this recipe comes from Around The Table, the new book from Great British Chefs celebrating delicious, shareable dishes and the joy of eating with others. Pavlova lends itself well to a variety of fruits, but this particular recipe casts the spotlight on nectarines – the sweeter little siblings…
