Dish of the day: The Reluctant Vegetarian’s recipe for rye barley with courgette, feta and crispy roasted red onions, topped with mint, pea, coriander, caper and fresh lime dressing
This one doubles up as a healthy, easy mid-week meal or the perfect accompaniment to a BBQ or weekend roast. This would then have to include BBQ’ing/roasting some good quality meats, maybe some lamb chops, steak or a few good quality burgers.

Dish of the Day: Nose to tail baking and the philosophy of minimal wastage
I change the menu week-to-week at the bakery, which leaves me free to experiment, adapt and change recipes constantly. Over time I’ve developed a philosophy of minimal wastage for maximum flavour and I always try and get everything I can from an ingredient I’m using, even the parts that usually get thrown away.

Cancer and cooking: How my low carb diet is helping me to fight this disease
My name is Hannah Bradley and I am 28-years-old. In February 2011 my world changed in an instant when I had a massive seizure in the early hours of the night. Luckily my partner was with me as I lost consciousness and was rushed to hospital. I really don’t remember much about the two months that followed apart from seeing many doctors and having constant headaches and a number of seizures.

Terence Conran: Innovation, originality and beauty are my real passions
It’s restaurateur, designer, writer and philanthropist Sir Terence Conran’s 81st birthday next month (on 4 October). Last year, to commemorate his 80th, among other things, he donated £17.5m to the Design Museum, which he founded more than 30 years ago in the basement of the Victoria & Albert museum. Last week, the relocation of the Design Museum from Shad Thames to the former Commonwealth Institute on Kensington High Street began. The ambitious project will offer the museum three times the amount of floorspace of the old building and cement it’s position as an international centre for design. blogs.independent.co.uk speaks to the father of modern British design about this incredibly important pet project.
