FOOD trends come and go, but if there’s one that’s showing no signs of going away, it’s our insatiable appetite for hand-crafted produce. There is good reason for this. For artisan and craft goods are more likely than others to satisfy a growing and politicised consumer market that is interested in provenance – where the food you are eating comes from. When people buy craft food at farmers’ markets they do so directly from the artisan. Often they are handed over accompanied by tales of contented, roaming livestock or carefully cultured kitchen gardens. Published on 20 May 2018 | 4:09 am

THE digital age, it's safe to say, is an increasingly less physical age. It’s there in all the statistics: less exercise, less sex, less dancing, even less close friends. Maybe we eat a little more - that's a physical activity - but we cook less. We still read, but fewer people are reading real physical books. Our thumbs certainly get a regular work out, though.

ESPN had kindly asked me to fly to Turkey to commentate and at half time, it seemed a record margin of victory in a major European final was likely. Milan were rampant, Liverpool forlorn. It was a mis-match. Published on 19 May 2018 | 11:06 pm
YOU would think, sometimes, that Twitter, was actually a machine designed to generate new insults, determine whether they are hate speech or not, and then have them struck from the dictionary all together.
