‘Gordon Ramsay, eat your heart out': Extra kilo of mushrooms at issue
It's not every day, we might safely assume, that a murder trial begins with the jury being shown a page from a cookbook that begins with the words 'Gordon Ramsay, eat your heart out'. But there it was. Day 30 of the trial of accused killer mushroom cook Erin Patterson had barely got under way when there appeared on the courtroom's big video screen a beef Wellington recipe from a RecipeTin Eats cookbook by Nagi Maehashi. Beneath the cheeky tilt at the salty-tongued British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, whose beef Wellington is a signature dish at his famed Savoy Grill in London, was the following printed warning by Maehashi to would-be cooks. 'Even professional chefs tell me that Beef Wellington gives them nightmares and they've always struggled with it.' It is impossible, of course, to know what, if anything, the jury made of this. What we do know from earlier evidence is that this was the recipe that Patterson told police she had used to guide her preparation of a luncheon that led to the deaths of three of her guests, and the near-mortal illness of a fourth. Patterson has pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and one of attempted murder. Her defence is that the deaths and the illness were a terrible accident. The beef Wellington recipe shown to the jurors advised that a duxelles involving mushrooms should be used.

Revealed: how Qatar invested in £100 billion of British assets
As a chill wind blew into the Welsh port of Milford Haven last week, the 294-metre long Minerva Psara pulled up to one of the long, spindly jetties and unloaded her cargo of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Her load was carefully pumped ashore to the sprawling South Hook terminal, to be turned from liquid into gas that will be fed into the national grid. Some 250 miles away, on The Strand in London, the classic beef Wellington was proving as popular as ever at Gordon Ramsay's Savoy Grill, despite the £65 price tag. The connection between the two businesses, other than the chance that the burners on Ramsay's stoves are running on South Hook's gas, is that the Pembrokeshire terminal and London's famous five-star hotel
