Maturity has little to do with watching things you don’t want to, writes advice columnist Eleanor Gordon-Smith . But it might help to be curious about why you feel differently from your peers Read more Leading questions I’m 17, and feel like a sore thumb among my peers due to my aversion to almost everything stereotypically adult. I don’t want to consume drugs or alcohol, I’ve never been in a relationship and, in particular, I’m very sensitive to graphic content. Earlier this year, I tried to warm myself up to several films featuring either explicit violence or sex, but a part of me felt uncomfortable beyond what was probably intended by the film-makers. The entire time, it felt as if I was pushing down my real self. After consuming various media, I quit the process of numbing myself, retreating back to only films and television with “moderate” or “mild” classification ratings. Continue reading...

Growing concerns about fast fashion have led some to rethink how they handle damaged clothing.

Our writer grilled halloumi, veggies and spatchcock chicken to find the best barbecues, from crowd-pleasing all-rounders to models that can smoke, roast and more • The best (and worst) chef’s knives – tested Salmon don’t know that they swim upstream. Some ancient instinct impels them; they don’t think about it any more than trees think about growing. You are a British person of a certain age and bearing. You are buying a barbecue. But this half-century-old compulsion often ends before it starts. Few products are marketed with as much machismo as BBQs, and the jargon makes them surprisingly tricky to buy. While we all enjoy the unintended high camp of a snap-jet ignition, it’s unclear if such features are essentials or optional extras. Add in the tedious difference between planchas and kamados, and you can easily spend hundreds of pounds on what is essentially a hot metal box. Best BBQ overall: Weber Bar-B-Kettle charcoal barbecue Best budget BBQ: Argos Home drum charcoal BBQ with cover and utensils Continue reading...

These singular wines from France’s gastronomic heartland are expensive to make and to buy, but if you know where to look, they don’t have to break the bank Everyone loves white burgundy. Made from chardonnay grapes, these wines from France’s gastronomic heartland, stretching from just south of Champagne to just north of Lyon, are singular: graceful, textured and full of joy. But prices tend to be less friendly; Doug Wregg from organic wine importer Les Caves de Pyrene says “affordable burgundy” is “almost an oxymoron” due to limited supply, labour-intensive production techniques and historic prestige. The recent slew of poor vintages has made those low yields even lower, and prices higher. But good examples do exist at under £25 a pop, which is where I’ve set my budget benchmark today. That sum won’t get you premier cru meursault, or anything from the Côte d’Or, a narrow hillside of celebrated limestone slopes south of Dijon, but there is still plenty within reach. Not least aligoté, the region’s second white grape, which can reliably be found for less than £25 (try Majestic’s Famille Gueguen number at £15.50 a bottle on the “mix six” offer), but “white burgundy” always means chardonnay, which is my focus today. A sensible start is in the Mâconnais, the southernmost point of Burgundy’s wine-producing area, where warmer temperatures and clay-limestone soil make for a rounder style of wine. Almost every supermarket has an own-label Mâcon Villages – I spent many a tidy Friday night in my twenties in a south London park with the Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference iteration (now £12.50 – inflation!) and a large bag of Doritos Cool Original (a good pairing, incidentally) – and they tend to be easy, fruity table wines. Usually, they’re unoaked, too, removing a layer of process that helps keep the price down. That said, oak doesn’t necessarily mean better; rather, its absence arguably lets the terroirs sing louder. Wregg’s Domaine des Cadoles 2022 Mâcon Chardonnay in today’s pick is a lovely example, at once mineral and creamy. Continue reading...
