Book Review: The Flavour Thesaurus by Niki Segnit
“… too little use and too late in coming...a living fossil, a relic and a museum piece…” My house has got an entire row of shelves dedicated to cookery books and recipe cards. Most have definitely been used. A handful have been used a lot, at least in the past. If truth be told though, […]

| Recently, I've been reviewing Christmas shows at various theatres. At Theatre by the Lake in Keswick, The Wizard of Oz was their seasonal production last Christmas. It was a very interesting attempt to reinvent the story and make a new kind of musica ...more | |

| After the super story that was book XIII, it was going to be a hard act to follow for Caroline Lawrence. She doesn't quite manage it with this outing but then there's a sense that this may be intentional. We're just three books away from the last in ...more | |

End Times is far from a perfect work, but it is a wonderful resource of interesting theories that beg to be talked about. Turchin lays out his theory, ostensibly predictive, of 'cliodynamics' that deals with the dynamics of 'end times' of political st ...more |

“The Normal is the good smile in a child's eyes:-alright. It is also the dead stare in a million adults. It both sustains and kills-like a god. It is the Ordinary made beautiful: it is also the Average made lethal. The Normal is the indispensable, murderous God of Health, and I am his priest. My tools are very delicate. My compassion is honest. I have honestly assisted children in this room. I have talked away terrors and relieved many agonies. But also-beyond question-I have cut from the parts of individuality repugnant to this god, in both his aspects. Parts sacred to rarer and more wonderful gods. And at what length...Sacrifices to Zeus took at the most, surely, sixty seconds each. Sacrifices to the Normal can take as long as sixty months.”
