I just devour books, so when I got to the end of the pile on my bedside table, it seemed natural to pick up a cookbook. Reading a cookbook in bed feels decadently obscene. I feel the need to assure you that I have never done it before, although this does feel like the appropriate ...

It’s sadly predictable, but it tends to be true: men love eating big chunks of charred animal, and women, well, they tend to be a bit more varied in their diets – OK, they eat a LOT more salad. I’m not saying they love it, but they seem to know what’s good for them. (Except ...
