I love sausages!
'Sausages,' my son says to me, leaning forward from the back of the car, with the authority and confidence only a three-year-old can truly muster. 'Sausages?' I reply distractedly, while navigating a particularly awkward roundabout. We've been talking about my job, but I assume his train of thought has taken a lunchier direction. 'Yes, sausages. You write about sausages. And… things like sausages.' He sits back, satisfied in his career analysis, probably contemplating whether lunch can indeed also feature sausages. I briefly consider explaining to him the craft of writing, the wider implications of food on politics, race and class, maybe even clarifying that at one point I was in fact gainfully employed as a criminal barrister, but conclude not only that now is not the time, but that he is correct. Because, yes, writing about sausages is quite a large part of my job. I think of the next recipe sitting open on my computer, ready for me to write: sausage rolls. A sausage doesn't stare at you from the fridge like half a sad broccoli or an opened pot of taramasalata Of course, this is an enormous privilege. While food is complicated and food writing shouldn't solely be about the pleasure that food can bring us, pleasure can and should be a huge part of both cooking and eating. And I love sausages! A well-made sausage is a thing of joy. And they're practical, too. You never don't know how to use up a sausage. It doesn't stare at you from the fridge like half a sad broccoli or an opened pot of taramasalata. A sausage is a solution, never a problem. And while I don't think sausages require a vehicle beyond a hand or, if I'm feeling fancy, a fork, encasing them in pastry and cooking in a very hot oven until puffed and sticky is one of the best ways to enjoy them. There's a good reason that sausage rolls have become the staple of a British party. It's hard to think of a truer crowd-pleaser; they will satisfy the smallest hands at a child's birthday party, be the most in-demand offering at a picnic, and hold their own alongside a glass of fizz at a proper grown up 'do'. I promise you that the vast majority of people will be far more excited to be handed a still-warm sausage roll than an objectively fancier bruschetta or blini. I have never known a person that I like or respect to decline a sausage roll. All too often, however, these sausage rolls are the sad, pallid pastries that come in enormous multipacks, tubs of beige disappointment. Now, if you offer me these at a party, I will eat ten, but that says more about me than it does about sausage rolls. A homemade sausage roll – by which I mean using bought sausage meat and premade pastry; we're not laminating pastry or whipping out a sausage grinder here – is one of those dishes which is so wildly beyond the sum of its parts, that it feels mad, once you've made them, that you ever did without. For me, the pastry should be puffed and flakey, burnished with egg wash, and generously sprinkled with sesame seeds. The filling needs to be really good quality sausage meat, so that, first of all, it does much of the hard work for you in terms of both flavour and texture, but also so that when it cooks, it caramelises properly, and doesn't release water, which can make the pastry soggy. If you're using good sausages, you don't need to bulk them with breadcrumbs or grated veg, which can dull the flavour. Sausage rolls should have a deep, thrumming base note of flavour, so that they aren't muted by the richness of the pastry, so I mix the sausage meat with a couple of tablespoons of mango chutney, and a dollop of English mustard which, together, bring a can't-quite-put-your-finger-on-it hum of spice and aromatics, and just a little sweetness. I like my sausage rolls chunky and straight from the oven, but the recipe enables a choose-your-own-adventure of size and style, and they are equally good cold. A quick note: many supermarket sausages now use alginate casings, rather than the traditional skins. These plant-based casings can be harder to remove, and probably won't come away in one piece, but they will peel off with a little effort. Serves: 6 large sausage rolls, or 12 smaller ones Hands-on time: 10 minutes Cooks: 30-40 minutes 400g sausage meat or sausages 2 tbsp mango chutney ½ tablespoon English mustard 320g rolled puff pastry 1 egg, for washing 2 tbsp sesame seeds Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan. If you're using whole sausages, run a knife lightly down the skin of each, then peel the skin away and discard. Place the sausage meat, mango chutney and English mustard in a bowl and combine; I find this easiest to do with my hands. Unroll the puff pastry and slice in half longways, so that you have two long strips. Divide the sausage meat in two and place a line of it in the middle of each strip of pastry. Fold the pastry over and under, so that the top of the sausage rolls is rounded and smooth. For chunky, picnic-style sausage rolls, slice each strip into three; for party sausage rolls, slice each into six. Carefully transfer to a baking tray. Break up an egg with a fork and brush the egg wash on to the rolls, then sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake large sausage rolls for 40 minutes, and small sausage rolls for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is golden and puffed and the visible sausage meat caramelised. Allow to cool for ten minutes, then serve warm or allow to cool completely and refrigerate.

Michelle Keegan lands six-figure deal to become new face of Sky in her first job since having baby Palma
FORMER Corrie star Michelle Keegan has signed a six-figure advertising deal to become the new face of Sky. She is set to film a series of promo clips — which will be shown around the globe — with fellow British actor, Luther star Idris Elba. 3 Michelle Keegan has signed a six-figure advertising deal to become the new face of Sky Credit: Getty 3 Michelle's comedy-drama Brassic one of the most popular series to air on the platform Credit: Getty The deal is Michelle's first major job since she gave birth to her daughter Palma in March. She landed the deal after becoming a major player for Sky, with her comedy-drama Brassic one of the most popular series to air on the platform. A source said: 'Michelle has really been enjoying maternity leave with Palma, but she'll be back to work soon to film these new adverts for Sky. 'She has signed a six-figure deal for the job and is thrilled to have been chosen to appear alongside Idris, who has been their 'face'. 'Brassic is ending after the seventh series and Michelle is keen to still be a part of the Sky brand. 'Landing this ad is huge for Michelle, as she's fast becoming a brand in her own right. "Everything she touches seems to turn to gold.' The actress, 38, found fame as Tina McIntyre on Coronation Street after joining the ITV soap in 2007. But it was after she left in 2014 her career really took off, with hits such as BBC military drama Our Girl from 2016 to 2020, playing Georgie Lane. Last year, she had the starring role as Maya Stern in Netflix's Harlan Coben thriller Fool Me Once — which racked up more than 100 million views globally. Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan take newborn baby Palma to another luxury hotel as they stay in £21k a night suite The show became the streaming service's most watched series of 2024, beating Bridgerton and Baby Reindeer. Michelle also stars in the BBC's Australian drama Ten Pound Poms. The Sun revealed last year that the Manchester-born actress, who is married to Heart radio DJ and former The Only Way is Essex star Mark Wright, 38, was sitting on a £3.6million fortune. Michelle admitted leaving Coronation Street after six years had pushed her onwards to succeed with her career. She said: 'For me, it was a massive learning platform. "I took a long, long time to decide to leave. It was very hard. 'And then, when they told me they were killing off my character and there was no going back, I thought I would never work again. 'My security was ripped away, which made me push forward and work harder.' 3 Idris Elba will join Michelle in leading the Sky brand Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club.

David Beckham to guest edit edition of Country Life Magazine
The former England captain and businessman will join the editorial team for the October 22 edition of the magazine with the aim of celebrating what the countryside means to him and his family. He follows in the footsteps of Royal Family members who previously joined the editor-in chief Mark Hedges at the helm, including the King, the Princess Royal and the Queen. Beckham said: 'I am honoured to have been invited to guest edit an edition of a magazine that I have always admired and read. 'I am really looking forward to working with the editorial team to produce an issue that will celebrate what the countryside and the great British landscape means to me and my family.' This comes as Beckham is to be awarded a knighthood in the King's Birthday Honours, according to reports by The Sun. The football star regularly documents his life in the countryside by posting pictures and videos on his Instagram including him harvesting vegetables, gardening and his flock of chickens. Mark Hedges, Country Life editor-in-chief, said: 'I know he has a deep love of the countryside, which has grown since he retired as a professional footballer, although he is, of course, still extremely busy as a businessman and an ambassador for a host of causes, such as Unicef and The King's Foundation, as well as being co-owner of Inter Miami CF in the US and Salford City Football Club in the UK. 'As someone who is passionate about the countryside, I'm excited to see what his special commemorative issue will bring.' The one-off edition aims to highlight how the countryside has played an important part in Beckham's life. It will feature his favourite view, his best-loved recipe and spotlight his rural champions, including the craftsmen and woman who helped shape his home in the Cotswolds. Beckham, who played for his country 115 times, is the only Englishman to score at three different World Cups and his career included the treble-winning campaign of 1998-99, when Manchester United won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League. He earned the third highest number of England caps of all time for the men's team, and was captain on 59 occasions. The former winger married Spice Girl Victoria, also known as Posh Spice, in 1999.
