As is usually the case when a book is adapted, a few of us wondered, in the 4th Estate office, how true to the book The Leftovers HBO adaptation would be. The first question was, ‘who will be cast?’ An all-star cast was delivered to us. Second question: ‘do you think the disappearances will be limited to Mapleton, like in Tom Perrotta’s novel, or would the rapture be worldwide?’ The latter is true, and, to our delight, this aspect of the novel, like many others, is done so well that there were no grumbles the following day that ‘the book is so much better, they shouldn’t have bloody touched it’.

If you’re anything like us, the recipe book is the first port of call before we even think about stepping into the kitchen. Nigel Slater, Riverford, Rose Prince, Locatelli; you name it, we’ve cooked from it.

Huevos rancheros‘I make this dish a lot. It’s the one thing I order without fail at breakfast tables in America. The holy trio of eggs, tomatoes and avocado never fails me. It mostly crops up at my house mid-morning on a Saturday, after a walk to the shop for a paper. Read more…
