Adam Liaw's Norwegian fish stew
A slightly soupier version of this stew is a specialty of Bergen, on Norway's south-west coast. I've used just one species of fish, but you can use any seafood you like.
Method
Step 1
Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and add the butter and leeks. Fry for about 2 minutes until softened.
Step 2
Add the flour and stir to cook for a further minute or two. Add the stock a little at a time and stir to create a thick soup about the texture of thickened cream.
Step 3
Add the bay leaf and season well with salt. Add the remaining vegetables and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
Step 4
Add the fish and simmer for a further 5 minutes, then turn off the heat.
Step 5
To finish the stew, place the sour cream in a heatproof bowl and ladle about 1-2 cups of the stew liquid into the bowl. Mix well, then pour the mixture back into the stew, stirring gently to combine the liquids without breaking up the fish and vegetables.

'Gently euthanised': Denmark's Aalborg Zoo sparks backlash after launching appeal for 'unwanted pets' to feed its predators
A major Scandinavian zoo has sparked a heated online debate after encouraging the public to donate their 'unwanted pets' to provide food for its predators. The Aalborg Zoo in central Denmark is home to more than 1,500 animals belonging to 126 species, including an array of ravenous big cats. The zoo has asked for donations of live chickens, as well as popular pets like rabbits and guinea pigs, which it promises are "gently euthanised" by trained staff before being fed to the zoo animals. Posting on Instagram, the zoo argued it has a "responsibility to imitate the natural food chain of the animals" and smaller livestock "make up an important part of the diet of our predators". Aalborg Zoo also accepts donations of 'live horses' and emphasised that owners who surrender their horses for slaughter are able to benefit from a potential tax break. The zoo ended its appeal for unwanted pets, which was originally published in Danish, with emojis of a recycling symbol and a love heart. The shocking request has sparked wide ranging debate on social media, with many animal-lovers calling the request a 'moral' betrayal of their beloved pets. 'I don't necessarily agree with this, the pet is under your care you have a moral obligation to watch out for its well being,' one commenter said. 'Being lazy isn't an excuse to put a perfectly healthy animal down.' 'Horrible. A pet being 'unwanted' shouldn't be sufficient reason to kill them, that's awful,' a second user agreed. Meanwhile, other commenters took a more measured response and pointed out culling feral animals is vital for protecting native wildlife. 'I love my pets, but I also don't hate this idea,' one commenter said. 'Feral domesticated animals are often some of the most destructive invasive species, and this seems like a reasonable way to humanely cull populations without completely wasting the animal carcasses.' In a statement, the zoo's deputy director, Pia Nielsen, defended the zoo's bizarre tactic for acquiring "meat". "When keeping carnivores, it is necessary to provide them with meat, preferably with fur, bones etc to give them as natural a diet as possible," she told the BBC in a statement. "Therefore, it makes sense to allow animals that need to be euthanised for various reasons to be of use in this way. 'In Denmark, this practice is common, and many of our guests and partners appreciate the opportunity to contribute. The livestock we receive as donations are chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, and horses."

Aussie icons Outback Tom & Grandad are in town all the way from the Kimberly to share their easy bush brekky in a can
Outback Tom and Grandad are a Grandson and Grandfather duo creating outback Australian videos in the East Kimberly region of Western Australia. Today, they are cooking 'Brekky In A Can' which is an easy breakfast of bacon, eggs and veggies all cooked in a tin can which can be cooked on a BBQ, over the fire in the outback or just on the stovetop. BREKKY IN A CAN PREP 10 minutes COOK 10 minutes SERVES 2 This dish really sums up what bush cooking is all about: using what you have (in this case, a couple of empty cans) to make something delicious and easy. It is particularly good with home-grown tomatoes at their warm-weather peak. Leave out the chilli if you don't like things too spicy. 1 onion, finely chopped 1 spring onion, finely sliced 1 red chilli, finely sliced 1 capsicum, roughly chopped 2 tomatoes, chopped 1 tablespoon plain flour 1 tablespoon milk 1 egg Worcestershire sauce salt and pepper 2 rashers bacon, chopped Method Collect two empty cans and make sure they're clean. Use a can opener to remove the bottom of the cans as well, so that the cans are open on both ends, but keep the removed pieces. Set a pan over a camping or bush stove (page 32), or over medium—high heat. Or you can make this on a grill plate over a fire or a BBQ. Put the chopped veggies in a bowl, then add the flour, milk and egg, season with a splash of Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper, and give it all a good mix to combine. Place your two open cans on the heated pan, and divide the bacon pieces across the cans, so they start frying for a minute or so. Next, divide the veggie mixture across the cans, pouring it in carefully to fill each can. Place the removed bottoms of the cans back on over the mixture, to help keep the heat in. Then leave to cook for around 10 minutes, until the veggies are soft. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the cans to cool for a moment, then carefully lift them off and reveal your brekky – ready to eat straight from the pan.

No-one noticed when most expensive painting in Australia was stolen
6 of 9 Attribution: Public Domain After clinging to wreckage, the survivors managed to paddle to a small island. Kennedy, at great personal risk, braved shark infested waters and the risk of being detected by Japanese ships, by swimming out to sea to try and flag down passing American vessels. Eventually after help from local native people and an Australian intelligence officer, they were rescued by a US Navy ship. The future US president, shown standing on the far right, was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for his brave actions.
