Grá review: Art drawn from the Crawford collection celebrates love in all its forms
Grá Uillinn, Skibbereen, Co Cork ★★★★☆ While Crawford Art Gallery , in Cork, is closed for redevelopment – it's expected to reopen in 2027 – what to do with its thousands of artworks? The solution has been to lend pieces to galleries and museums across Ireland. Rightly treating the Crawford collection as a piggy bank to be raided, Uillinn, aka West Cork Arts Centre, has teamed up with the local Salt & Pepper group and with the Crawford curator Michael Waldron to devise Grá, a group exhibition that 'celebrates love in all its forms'. Salt & Pepper is an LGBTQ+ creative collective of older individuals – the name refers to its members' greying hair – that was founded by Toma McCullim in 2022. The group began meeting on park benches during the Covid pandemic; these impromptu gatherings led to more formal collaborative activity, which in turn resulted in a series of artworks shown at Uillinn in 2022 during the Bealtaine Festival. Grá circles around themes of queer identity and romance. In the first room, for example, we are welcomed by an alabaster-white plaster model and a surreal portrait of a quiescent figure.

Photograph: Marcin Lewandowski The sculpture is not attributed to an artist; it was produced in the mid-19th century as an educational prop, and although it's supposed to depict Aphrodite, it may in fact be a likeness of Sappho, the ancient Greek poet whose name has become synonymous with lesbian desire. The portrait, by Stephen Doyle, is called Meditating Tongqi; its subjects are the Chinese phenomena of tongqi, or women who have married gay men, and tongfu, or men who have married gay women, because they felt immense social pressure to conform. In addition to the works explicitly coded as queer, the curatorial team have clearly enjoyed drawing out connections among other artworks – links framed less as definitive statements than as interpretive, playful gestures, often established through witty juxtapositions or wry sideways glances. The rainbow hues in the works of Tom Climent and Isabel Nolan, for example – otherwise formally and conceptually distinct – serve as suggestive nods to the international symbolism of LGBTQ+ identity. Grá runs at Uillinn , Skibbereen, Co Cork, until Saturday, September 20th

Satisfy your sweet tooth with these delicious and nutritious winter desserts
She's a trusted name in health and nutrition. And today, Sarah Di Lorenzo is sharing healthy winter desserts that will satisfy your sweet tooth. Sarah will show three classic recipes today: Banoffee pie; Mini apple crumbled baked in whole apples; Brownie in a cup. They're all easy and delicious and low in sugar while also high in protein to keep you full. Recipe below: Baked Apple Crumbles 6 medium sized apples ½ cup rolled oats 2 tablespoons almond flour ¼ cup chopped pecans ½ cup maple syrup 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground ginger ¼ teaspoon allspice Pinch of slat 4 tablespoons butter, melted Serve with Greek yoghurt and maple syrup Instructions Preheat the oven to 200 degrees c. Remove the core of each apple with a knife cut a bowl shape inside each apple about two thirds of the way down. In a medium bowl, stir together the rolled oats, flour, pecans, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, salt, and melted butter. Spoon the filling into the apples. Put the apples in a baking dish. Boil some water. Cover the bottom of the dish with the boiling water, around 1/2 cm high. Bake for 25 minutes, then cover with foil (as not to burn). Then bake for a further 10 minutes Drizzle each apple with maple syrup and serve with greek yoghurt. Optional - My dessert twist on greek yoghurt is to add a dash of vanilla extract and a dash of maple syrup for extra deliciousness. Cute brownie in a mug for one Serves 1 ¼ cup oat flour 3 tablespoons almond milk 2 tablespoons cocoa powder 1 tablespoon almond butter ½ teaspoon vanilla extract ½ teaspoon stevia pinch of salt pinch of baking powder Method Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Add all the ingredients to a mug and mix well. This needs to bake in the oven for about 12 minutes, but you can do this in the microwave for 60 seconds. Depending on your microwave, you may need to cook further, so try an extra 20 seconds if it's not cooked enough. Sarah's Twist on Banoffee Pie Ingredients For the base 300g oat flour ( this is 3 cups of rolled oats blitzed) 25g coconut sugar Pinch of salt 140g butter For the banana layer 3 bananas sliced For the date caramel 300g Medjool dates (this is around 15 dates) 2 tbsp peanut butter Pinch tsp salt 100ml milk of choice For the topping 2 cups of Greek yoghurt 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 2 teaspoons of maple syrup Optional topping Dark chocolate shavings Instructions Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Remove the seeds from the dates and then place them in hot water for 30 minutes. Remove and set aside. In a bowl combine the oat flour, coconut sugar and salt in a large bowl. Rub the butter into the flour and roll into a dough like texture. Press the dough into a 23cm loose base tart tin and make sure you go up the sides as well. Prick the base a few times with a fork and bake for 20 minutes. Leave to cool - this is an important step. Add the peanut butter, milk, salt and dates to a food processor and blend well. Combine the Greek yoghurt with the maple syrup and vanilla in a bowl. Once the base is completely cooled add the date mix, next the sliced banana and over the top the Greek yoghurt. Dark chocolate shavings are the perfect garnish.

East Bengal turn tables on Mohun Bagan
Image credit: East Bengal FC KOLKATA: As the referee blew the final whistle, East Bengal players dropped to the ground one after another. This time around, in delight. As Oscar Bruzon made his way to the Mohun Bagan SG bench for a customary handshake with his opposite Jose Molina, the table was turned by then, and how. East Bengal rode a brace from Dimitrios Diamantakos to down Mohun Bagan 2-1 at the Salt Lake Stadium on Sunday, storming into the Durand Cup semis and ending the green-and-maroon brigade's long reign at the venue. Coming off the bench in the 19th minute following in-form striker Hamid Ahadad's early injury, Diamantakos set the tempo by converting a penalty in the 38th minute. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The Greek forward made it 2-0 seven minutes after the break. Anirudh Thapa reduced the margin to 1-2 in the 68th minute.
