Recipe box launches The Bear inspired range that will help charity
You could recreate meals from the popular show
Recipe box Gousto has announced the launch of 'The Bare', a new limited-edition recipe range that pays homage to dishes from Chicago-based, fan-favourite TV show The Bear, set to return for its fourth series later this month. But behind the recipes lies a more urgent purpose: raising money for Trussell to support people who'd otherwise go without the bare essentials this summer.
The initiative comes as Trussell's 'The Cost of Hardship & Hunger' report reveals that a record 1 in 7 people across the UK now face severe hardship, including 6.3 million adults and 3 million children. Over the summer, food banks in the Trussell community are expected to support a child with emergency food every 41 seconds. Orders from 'The Bare' range will help Trussell support families.
'The Bare' features three recipes inspired by the hit culinary TV show: Chicago-Style Beef Sandwich & Fries, Friends & Family Spaghetti with Mozzarella Garlic Bread, and even THAT viral Crisp-Topped Omelette with Fries & Salad.
Gousto has transformed the cult favourites into simple, stress-free meals with easy-to-follow recipe cards and pre-measured ingredients.
Timo Boldt, Founder and CEO of Gousto, said: "Ensuring more families have access to fresh, good food has always been part of our purpose to have a positive impact on people and the planet. With this screen-worthy recipe range, we're making it easy for food lovers to recreate cult-favourite dishes at home, while supporting the vital work of food banks in the Trussell community".

Gousto has also partnered with Big Zuu to launch 'The Bare'. Big Zuu said: 'Getting behind 'The Bare' was a no-brainer for me. It's about more than just flavours; it's about making some noise for people going without the basics. I've always believed good food should be for everyone, and teaming up with Gousto and Trussell on this campaign means we're getting real support to families who need it. And if you're asking – THAT Crispy Omelette with Fries is my go-to. It's easy, full of flavour and the ultimate comfort food.'
Gousto's "The Bare' recipes are available to order at gousto.co.uk from June 17 to July 15, 2025. Recipes start from £3.09.

Jobs at risk at 11 Claire's stores in Northern Ireland as company faces administration
The US parent firm for the high street retailer said it has filed a formal notice to administrators from advisory firm Interpath. The business has stores in shopping centres all around Northern Ireland, including Belfast's Victoria Square, Bow Street Mall in Lisburn and Erneside Shopping Centre in Enniskillen. The move will raise fears over the future of its 306 stores, with 278 of these in the UK and 28 Ireland. It's estimated around seven people work in each store. Administrators are set to seek a potential rescue deal for the chain, which has seen sales tumble in the face of recent weak consumer demand. Claire's UK stores will remain open as usual and store staff will stay in their positions once administrators are appointed, the company said. Will Wright, UK chief executive at Interpath, said: 'Claire's has long been a popular brand across the UK, known not only for its trend-led accessories but also as the go-to destination for ear piercing. 'Over the coming weeks, we will endeavour to continue to operate all stores as a going concern for as long as we can, while we assess options for the company. 'This includes exploring the possibility of a sale which would secure a future for this well-loved brand.' It comes after the US-based Claire's group filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in a court in Delaware last week. It is the second time the group has declared bankruptcy, after first filing for the process in 2018. Chris Cramer, chief executive of Claire's, said: 'This decision, while difficult, is part of our broader effort to protect the long-term value of Claire's across all markets. 'In the UK, taking this step will allow us to continue to trade the business while we explore the best possible path forward. We are deeply grateful to our employees, partners and our customers during this challenging period.' Susannah Streeter, head of money and markets at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: 'Claire's attraction has waned, with its high street stores failing to pull in the business they used to. 'While they may still be a beacon for younger girls, families aren't heading out on so many shopping trips, with footfall in retail centres falling. 'The chain is now faced with stiff competition from TikTok and Insta shops, and by cheap accessories sold by fast fashion giants like Shein and Temu.'

Tonight's rugby news as former Wales captain lands top new job and global game 'faces devastation'
Tonight's rugby news as former Wales captain lands top new job and global game 'faces devastation' The latest headlines from Wales and around the world (Image: Chris Fairweather/Huw Evans Agency) These are your evening rugby headlines on Wednesday, August 13. Ex-Wales captain lands top new job Former Wales captain Ellis Jenkins is starting a "new chapter" of his life after joining financial advisory firm Dow Schofield Watts. The Cardiff Rugby legend retired last year, as he called time on a professional career that saw him represent the capital city region nearly 150 times and win 13 caps for Wales. He also captained his country on four occasions, while he was the skipper for Cardiff's 2018 European Challenge Cup final victory over Gloucester in Bilbao. While playing, Jenkins studied an Executive MBA in Business Administration, Management and Operations at Cardiff University, while he sat on the Executive Committee for the Welsh Rugby Players Association (WRPA) for eight years, playing a leading role in regular negotiations with the Welsh Rugby Union. Since hanging up his boots at the end of the 2023/24 season, the 32-year-old has also worked as a pundit for the BBC. Sign up to Inside Welsh rugby on Substack to get exclusive news stories and insight from behind the scenes in Welsh rugby Now, however, he is taking the first major step in his new career outside of rugby, having joined Dow Schofield Watts' Cardiff-based corporate finance team as corporate relations lead. As his appointment was confirmed, Jenkins said: 'After taking time to reflect on 15 years of professional rugby and consider my next steps, I'm excited to begin a new chapter in my career with DSW Cardiff. Article continues below "I'm joining a dynamic team that is growing rapidly across Wales and the South West, and I'm confident that my experience of problem solving in high pressure sporting situations will serve me well in the fast-paced world of corporate finance." Koo Aseeley, partner in the corporate finance team at Dow Schofield Watts in Cardiff, added: "We're excited about the continued growth of the Cardiff team. "Ellis brings outstanding leadership experience, an ambitious mindset and a fantastic network from his time in elite sport. We're looking forward to the value he'll bring to our clients and team." Global rugby calendar 'faces devastation' Three All Blacks greats have spoken of the threat that the new R360 rebel league poses to rugby's established order, claiming that it will "devastate" competitions across the world. Fronted by England World Cup winner Mike Tindall, the proposed new breakaway franchise league wants to create 'generational change in rugby' and will rip up the sport as we know it. At the heart of the proposals is the creation of 12 new franchise teams, each boasting some of the world's top rugby talent, with players reportedly being offered contracts worth up to around $1 million (£740,000) per season. The plans are rapidly gaining traction, with several current top-level internationals believed to have agreed to join the ambitious project, while 15 Wales stars have also been targeted. With the league hoped to get under way in September next year, New Zealand greats Mils Muliaina, Jeff Wilson and Justin Marshall have spoken of their concerns over the impact it will have on the global game. 'It's definitely a game-changer and it's definitely got some legs behind it now," Muliaina told The Breakdown. "A couple of months ago, you thought it would never get off the ground. 'World Rugby will be worried, the competitions will be worried. They have signed a few players. It's the window it's going to be in. During Super Rugby, what does it look like? "If I was World Rugby, I would be really worried right now. What does it look like?' Offering a more damning assessment, Wilson added: 'This basically would devastate every competition across the world because they are all the same windows. "They are talking about playing the same time as the Top 14, Japan Rugby League One, Super Rugby; all of a sudden you're filling out squads of players from around the world. 'You want to have credibility so you are trying to take the best from New Zealand, the best from South Africa, Australia. This is something World Rugby will have to deal with, and this is probably the truest test of professionalism.' Comparing R360 to LIV Golf, which saw a number of the world's top golfers leave the PGA Tour to join the lucrative Saudi Arabian-backed project, Marshall agreed with his fellow pundits and said: 'It's going to have a massive impact on international rugby. "The differences between the Mo'ungas that are going away or the Jordie Barretts, yes they earn good money but not this type of money. As an international rugby player to secure your future, it's like the golfers have done. "At the end of the day, they still know they can play competitively but they know they don't have to worry about money anymore.' Wallabies to unleash 'Jack Russell and Great Dane' Australia are planning to utilise Will Skelton and Nic White to full effect against South Africa in their Rugby Championship encounter this weekend. The Springboks have won their last four encounters against Australia, so Joe Schmidt's side are well in need of a win against the reigning world champions. Despite hanging up his boots following the recent British & Irish Lions Test series, scrum-half White has returned for the Rugby Championship, while Skelton made an instant impact in the second Test against Andy Farrell's team. And, according to Wallabies star Tom Hooper, there is hope that the pair will play a central role in their bid for victory against Rassie Erasmus' side. "Will (Skelton) will definitely be up for that challenge, and anyone picked in the jersey alongside him will follow him into battle," explained Hooper. "Will is an enforcer, and that is what he has been doing for a long time in the beautiful sport of rugby. Article continues below "For lack of a better word, he loves being that grub; he loves taking it to teams physically and making the gentleman's game a little more exciting. We love playing alongside him, and he is just a huge physical presence. "You've got the Great Dane in Will Skelton, and then you've got the little Jack Russell in Nic — and the Jack Russell is sometimes a little more fiery. He loves nipping at the heels of the opposition and not taking a backwards step. "That's the kind of spirit we want to play with going forward. You can see that he inspires the 23 on the field. We won't take a backwards step against the Boks because we can't afford to."
