I love a second-day pot of curry, and this recipe is no exception – if you make a big enough pot it will see you through a couple of dinners in the middle of the week. This is also one of those many moments when you’ll be glad you took my advice to keep a big jar of green seasoning in the fridge. Give the mixture a stir to combine, then pour into a blender and blitz briefly to a rough consistency. Transfer to a bowl and stir through the reserved diced cucumber. Add a pinch of salt and serve as you like. Tamarind chutneyI so love the unique sour nature of tamarind. It’s almost like a connector between sweet, salty, and savoury – somehow it seems to sing to all of those sensations. A spoonful of tamarind chutney will bring any dish to life. I think of books as like a life raft. They save us from mundanity, they draw us to a poetic, multi-faceted world. We all need that. We all need to listen to our empathy and step towards kindness and I think books help you to remember that you’re an empathic, human animal and that we need to come together. I think there’s no better time to be reminded of that, than this. Dress, Karen Millen; earrings & ring, Bukonla Crown; glasses, Jimmy Fairly; glasses chain, Frame Chain.

Using a 12cm cookie cutter or a bowl of the same size, cut out 10 circles of pastry. Carefully line each of the fluted tart tins with a piece of pastry, making sure it fits snugly into the corners. Pop a piece of baking parchment over each piece of pastry and fill each case with baking beans. Blind bake the tart cases in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Put all the ingredients into a small saucepan with 80ml of water. Set over a medium-low heat and warm through, stirring now and again, until everything is melted and combined. Serve immediately, garnished with the coriander, alongside the rice or bread of your choice. Green seasoningAndi is mother to radio presenter, Miquita Oliver, who is known for presenting and hosting shows on BBC Radio 1, and she said they are in talks about presenting together again since hosting the BBC programme Neneh & Andi Dish It Up alongside Neneh Cherry. Replaced Prue Leith as permanent judge on the Great British Menu with Matthew Fort and Oliver Peyton, but then stepped away from the judge role and replaced Susan Calman as presenter [8] [9] For a while she went by her middle name, Denise, because it felt more like a white girl’s. “I felt like I was waiting for my life to start,” she says. “I knew it was going to happen, and I knew I just had to wait it out.” Do you think at this time, books are more important than ever in giving us inspiration and comfort?
