    From Reading with love: Gurkha cookbook backed by Dame Joanna Lumley celebrates 12 years of SSAFA friendship

    A cookbook bringing together British and Nepali family recipes is celebrating more than a decade of friendship between the Gurkha community and SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, in Reading. All proceeds from the cookbook support the welfare of the Armed Forces and their families, with the project raising funds for SSAFA and The Gurkha Welfare Trust. 

    From traditional Nepali momos and Sherpa Lamb Curry to Welsh cakes and family favourites, the Kukri Kitchen Cookbook brings together the flavours, memories and friendships that have grown through the SSAFA Reading Gurkha Ladies Project over the past 12 years. 

    Featuring a foreword by SSAFA Honorary Ambassador and Gurkha campaigner Dame Joanna Lumley, the cookbook celebrates a remarkable community initiative that has helped Gurkha wives settle into life in the UK, develop their English and build lasting friendships.

    Friday essay: I’ve been reading The Odyssey my whole life. Nolan’s film version is exhilarating – but not perfect

    I first read The Odyssey during the summer holidays when I was 15 years old. Parked under the shade of the mulberry tree in our Brisbane backyard, I would read, grab a few mulberries, then read some more, my fingers sometimes staining the pages dark purple. It was a secondhand Penguin Classics edition, translated by E.V. Rieu, its yellowing paper and creased spine, to my teenage eyes, somehow as ancient as the work itself.

    Every time I read the Homeric epithet “wine-dark sea” – one of the repeated formulas that bear the imprint of the epic’s oral beginnings, such as “dawn, fresh and rosy-fingered” and “Zeus the thunderer” – I’d feel as though my purple fingerprints had somehow become part of the poem.

    There’s no denying it – Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey might be one of the greatest movies of all time

    Review: The night before I was set to watch The Odyssey, I had a dream that I was on set with Christopher Nolan. When I woke up at 2am, I couldn’t get back to sleep, lying there like a kid on Christmas Eve.

    All this to say, I was clearly excited to see the movie, and my expectations were high. But not only did The Odyssey meet my expectations, it far exceeded them.

    Writing this review is one of the more difficult things I’ve done in my career, simply because The Odyssey left me speechless.
