  • The places in town not to be seen

    May 13, 2009

    The Mercer34 Threadneedle Street, EC2R 8AYDiscreet Seats: The counter at the bar-end of the room: only backs are visible and it would be almost impossible to hear what someone was ordering, let alone which bottle of vintage Bordeaux.Food and drink: Very solid new British cuisine, with everything sourced as locally as possible and an award-winning, [...]

  • Monica Ali’s Brick Lane follow-up never really reaches boiling point

    May 13, 2009

    ALTHOUGH she published a book called Alentejo Clue in 2006, this is being seen as the follow-up to Ali’s much-trumpeted Brick Lane. Once again it tackles the prickly topic of immigrants in London, but this time the action centres round the unlikeable chef Gabriel Lightfoot who works at the Imperial Hotel (note the heavy whiff [...]

  • Monica Ali’s Brick Lane follow-up never really reaches boiling point

    May 13, 2009

    THERE is something irresistible about a modern-day murder mystery set against the ancient sites of Greek mythology. Combine such a piquant setting with a cracking plot and a vividly colourful narrative and you’ve got The Taint of Midas, the second in the award-winning Mysteries of the Greek Detective series by the British-born, formerly Greek island-dwelling [...]

  • Monica Ali’s Brick Lane follow-up never really reaches boiling point

    May 13, 2009

    ONE of the most famous books to come out of the boom of the Eighties was Barbarians at the Gate. In this book, it seems that the nerds have taken over from Conan and his chums. In fact, the subtitle of the book makes it clear that greed was to blame – politicians and central [...]

  • What’s up, duck

    September 4, 2008

    Duck season is here, so make the most of the bird, says Timothy Barber Can there be any dish more redolent of the bad old days of restaurant food than duck a l’orange? It may be a classic, but let’s be honest, duck in a sweet orange sauce is more likely to be the sorry [...]

  • InBev plans £1bn deal

    September 3, 2008

    Belgian brewer InBev is planning to put its South Korean beer business up for sale, sources said yesterday. The move is an effort to shed a noncore asset and raise what could be roughly £1bn for its purchase of US brewer Anheuser-Busch. Deutsche Bank and JPMorgan Chase will run the auction for the business, called [...]

  • Diageo bullish as profits rise

    August 29, 2008

    With two world wars and a few revolutions under its belt, alcoholic drinks giant Diageo is well placed to weather the economic downturn, its chief executive Paul Walsh said yesterday when announcing the group’s results – despite warning of slowing growth ahead. The maker of Guinness and Smirnoff posted a 2 per cent increase in [...]

  • Working women have never had it so bad: discuss

    August 28, 2008

    Mothers have a tough time juggling everything, but should we feel sorry for them? For decades, feminists have talked about working women’s “second shift”, the extra work they do in the home after they have finished their day’s work in the office. It seems that things are much the same now as they were in [...]

  • Summer is the time to drink yourself cool

    August 14, 2008

    Never mind the weather, you can get a bit of sunshine in your glass with fresh and seasonal cocktails, says Zoe Strimpel The past week may have been dodgy weather-wise, but we’ve still got a month till summer’s officially over. Rain or shine, there’s no better way to grasp that summer feeling than a good [...]

  • Crazy in lobe

    August 13, 2008

    In the world of earrings, bigger and bolder is definitely better, says Zoe Strimpel Times are changing; we’re not quite the over-mortgaging, champagne slugging society we once were. And, odd as it may sound, earrings are as good a sign of the times as any. New figures from John Lewis show sales of jewellery are [...]
