For example, if a recipe calls for 1 cup of chopped onions, do you know exactly how many onions you'll need to buy or ultimately, chop? Often, you won't know until you get deep into your recipe's ingredient list, whether you'll need a specific volume or number of onions (sometimes with a size specification, but oftentimes - annoyingly - without). This leads to further confusion as small onions weigh around 6 ounces, medium about 8 ounces, and large roughly 16 ounces.

Months of hot weather have produced a record-breaking year for apples in the UK, with the harvest coming in bigger and earlier than ever.

In orchards across the UK, boughs are breaking under the weight of the ripening fruit.

"Look for red wines that have lower tannin and brighter acidity," Henderson advises. "Wine is used in cooking for flavor. But it's big advantage is natural acidity which tenderizes foods and keeps them moist." That alcoholic bite cooks off but, says Henderson, it "helps the flavor molecules of the other ingredients open up." Wine delivers an underlying richness to a red pasta sauce, for example, while also enhancing the flavors of the tomatoes, herbs, and aromatics.

I like recipes that take, like, four hours. I don't do fast recipes at all. I like to braise. Wow, that is so fascinating. Is it though? Is it? Netflix is clearly gambling that it is. The second series of With Love, Meghan is with us, albeit alongside the news that the Sussexes' new deal with the streaming platform is not another $100m (74m), five-year extravaganza, but a rather less spectacular first-look agreement that gives Netflix first refusal on any shows the couple create.
