      Meera Sodha’s vegan recipe for roast cauliflower with harissa pilaf | The new vegan

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 22 March, 2025

    Roast cauli has an enticing nuttiness that makes it a great companion for spicy, herby baked rice

    Before I became a food writer, I ate a lot of roast cauliflower most weeks because I adore it. I love how the florets take on flavour and fat. I enjoy how the personality of the cauliflower pops out when you roast the bejesus out of it to reveal a caramel-like bitter sweetness. And I am a fan of how cheap and comforting it is. This recipe is a celebration of the roast cauliflower and, since the oven is on anyway, I’ve made a baked rice to go with it (credit to Yotam Ottolenghi for the technique) that is herby, nutty, hot with harissa and brought together with a thwack of lemon juice.

      Heathrow airport reopens but ‘huge impact’ on travel expected for days – live updates

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 22 March, 2025

    Planes begin to land at airport but airlines said the closure would continue to have a ‘huge impact’ on passengers in the coming days

    British Airways, which operates around half of all Heathrow flights, resumed long-haul services on Friday evening after power was restored.

    The chief executive, Sean Doyle, said BA had “been forced to effectively ground our flying operation”, cancelling every short-haul and the majority of long-haul flights scheduled for Friday.

    We can confirm that Heathrow is open and fully operational today. Teams across the airport continue to do everything they can to support passengers impacted by yesterday’s outage at an off-airport power substation.

    We have hundreds of additional colleagues on hand in our terminals and we have added flights to today’s schedule to facilitate an extra 10,000 passengers travelling through the airport.

      I travelled 2,000 miles from Italy to the tip of Spain – on horseback

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 22 March, 2025

    I had to brave wolves, bitter weather and mountain passes during my epic journey, but it was transformative

    Before riding a horse across the Ligurian Alps in north-west Italy, I had never heard the phrase “ in bocca al lupo” (into the wolf’s mouth) . An idiom of good luck, in the same vein as saying “break a leg” to a performer, the words passed the lips of almost every stranger I met. As we travelled through these little-known mountains, the message began to take on a whole other meaning: a call to embrace the unknown, wolves and all.

    I was on an ambitious journey – from Siena in Tuscany roughly 2,000 miles to the north-west tip of Spain at Finisterre, which literally means “the end of the earth”. I thought that a perfect place to finish. The idea came while working in London as a stable boy and (out of work) actor. Restless and desperate for a sense of purpose, I came across a copy of Don Quixote, Miguel de Cervantes’s 17th-century picaresque adventure. It lit my imagination and a quest began to take shape.

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 22 March, 2025

    First-time buyers among tens of thousands in England and NI rushing to complete purchases before April

    “We just don’t have the money,” says Ben of the extra £6,000 to be found if the newlyweds don’t get the keys to their two-bed terrace before the stamp duty cliff-edge at the end of this month.

    The special needs teacher and his partner Claire, a human rights solicitor, are among the more than 75,000 buyers in England and Northern Ireland who will have to pay more stamp duty if their purchase is delayed until April.
