Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall Hugh's three good things
"How often have you wished there was a magic formula to simplify cooking? Well, there is. Put three good things together on a plate and, somehow, the whole is always greater and more delicious than the sum of its parts.

Hot, bland, crisp. Think scones with jam and cream, fish and chips with mushy peas, or porridge with...

His greatest masterpiece, The Master and Margarita, a novel written in the 1930s in complete secrecy, largely at night, did not...
