With ‘dental deserts’ all over the UK, hundreds of thousands of people now flock to hospitals or GPs each year for treatment.

A filling pumpkin, sage and barley stew, plus a mushroom and kidney bean winter warmerIn January I inevitably turn to whole foods: dark, leafy brassicas, whole grains, beans simmered slowly on the stove top. Here are two nourishing dishes that put them all to work – both are vegan and both are very freezer-friendly, if cooking ahead is your thing.

The other, a pumpkin, ale and barley stew, is a chance to raid your store-cupboard. Continue reading...

This sympathetic telling of the John Vassall affair is strong on the homophobic paranoia that wrecked British lives in the 1950s – and a reminder that the Kremlin’s use of blackmail is nothing newIn October 1954 a clerk working at the British embassy in Moscow, John Vassall, was invited to a party. Vassall got into a taxi with a “dark-haired stranger” and found himself in the Hotel Berlin. There, he had dinner with a group of Russian men in a private dining room. Soon, he was naked and lying on a divan. Two men raped him. Another took photographs. At 3.30am they brought him home in a...

This documentary by Serbian-born director Marta Popivoda is a mildly psychedelic drift into the horror of one woman’s deportation and determined survivalMuch of this Serbian documentary uses a striking, mildly psychedelic technique: a super-slow dissolve between images that morph near-imperceptibly into the next.
