ALSO IN EAT & DRINK

• UJ COMPETITION: Win a Moscow Mule Cocktail Kit Courtesy of Smirnoff
  

  Feeling Mulish now that summer’s over? Then you need a Moscow Mule Cocktail Kit courtesy of Smirnoff to turn you from cocktail amateur to mixology aficionado.

• The Fat Lady Sings
  

  And then, apparently it’s all over. Wander through Covent Garden Market when the opera crew is in full force, and you begin to appreciate the reality of the proverb. And if it’s not her, it’s the plump, bearded Fakerotti. Or the thin scowling lady with the big lungs.

• Wine Chap's Wine Tips: El Bulli / Drink Like a Man
  

  People don't make the pilgrimage to Bulli for the wines, any more than you used to go to Ronnie Scott's for the food, or the Sistine Chapel for the crush of tourists; but these factors will normally play a part in your visit.

• Sweet Potato Fries with Parsley Salt
  

  I like to cut sweet potato fries ‘shoestring’ style so that they are super thin and crispy. You can do this by hand but it is far easier to use a mandoline to get them all the same size and shape so that they cook evenly.

• Highbrow Poutine
  

  Poutine has obtained an affectionate place in Canadian culture and many restaurants in Montreal and Toronto are offering more upscale versions of it for nostalgic guests. This is my version - topped with shredded short ribs slowly braised in beer and some sharp cheddar.
