5 WAYS WITH BEETROOT

After Dark • There is a particular kind of comfort found in a bowl of pasta made after dark, when the kitchen is quiet, the ingredients are simple and the reward is immediate. These recipes from Midnight Spaghetti by Caroline Griffiths capture that mood beautifully, turning pantry staples and a few sharp, savoury flavours into dishes that feel both effortless and indulgent. From baby broccoli, anchovy and chilli spaghetti with its salty, garlicky warmth, to Japanese soy-buttered spaghetti with shiitake, edamame and a final hit of shichimi togarashi, each bowl is proof that late-night cooking can still feel considered, elegant and deeply satisfying.

Weeknight SEOUL • From A Day in Seoul by Julian Kim, these recipes celebrate the warmth, ease and everyday beauty of Korean cooking. Vibrant, comforting and full of flavour, each dish offers a delicious glimpse into the meals that bring Seoul’s home kitchens and bustling streets to life.
