Jamie Oliver has now sold at least £100 million-worth of books in this country - the only author to outdo him over the past decade being JK Rowling (he easily saw off Dan Brown). His last book, 30-Minute Meals, has so far sold 1.6 million copies in the UK alone…

Fundamental LA: Sandwiches That Are Anything But...
Blink and you’ll probably miss Fundamental LA, a sandwich shop that’s too hip and artisanal to bother with anything as conventional as signage. It would be a shame to overlook this place, since they consistently make some of the most satisfying and original sandwiches east or west of the 405.

A fruitful search: recipes on the internet
Earlier this year Google launched a new recipe search in the UK, having guinea-pigged it in America and Japan. This proves what you’ve surely noticed: that more and more people are using the internet to help them decide what to cook.

TV Dinner: Updated
If you grew up around the same time I did, you will likely remember the TV dinner… or at least the advertisements. TV dinners were a big part of American culture for many years.
