 T hirty-eight year ago, when  Raymond Blanc   opened Le Manoir aux Quat’Saison, the restaurant was swiftly awarded two   Michelin stars . This is a distinction in itself; to hold onto them to this day is perhaps even more impressive. The stars seem relevant, as so many chefs trained here go on to win them elsewhere for themselves too: say,   Michael Caines ,   Marco Pierre White ,   Heston Blumenthal . There is a subtle irony to this; while Blanc trained them all — and dozens more besides — the other person he trained was himself. Being entirely self-taught is a rare thing in restaurants. Rich Stein is another; Ben Chapman of Kiln too. In doing so, Blanc has long-refined his own approach to putting dishes together. His cooking is marked by a sense of the classic, the quintessential; below are simple  recipes  for five festive favourites. Each is a Christmas staple, and here each has been perfected. Celeriac puree We eat celeriac a lot in Fra...

  L ondon is worse off not to have the influence of Marwa Alkhalaf, the chef-founder of the now-closed modern Iranian restaurant   Nutshell . Hers was a nuanced restaurant of rare individuality, but the restaurant game is tough, and between the pandemic and the energy-crisis and all the rest, Nutshell sadly shut. Alkhalaf has kept a very low profile since, but back in 2021 she shared one of her favourite sweet dishes for  iftar . “I am from Saudi [Arabia] and my husband is from Iran and both countries have communities where the month of  Ramadan  is observed. Food, understandably, plays such a central part of the month,” she told us at the time. “This recipe celebrates the use of fruits, which are enjoyed to replenish sugars and are high in energy, as well as spices for the soothing qualities and yoghurt which is important to balance the gut.” Zulubia with yoghurt mousse, sour cherry and spiced rose sugar Yoghurt mousse 150g Greek yoghurt 100ml double cream...

  Missouri's   recruiting class surged to No. 1 in the 247Sports Class of 2024  Team Rankings   on Friday following the commitment of top-50 prospect   Annor Boateng . The 6-foot-5 small forward is considered a four-star prospect by 247Sports and is ranked a five-star prospect in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite rankings. He chose the Tigers over   Auburn ,   Arkansas ,   Georgia Tech   and   LSU . Boateng's commitment is Missouri's fourth of the 2024 recruiting cycle, as he joins fellow top-100 prospects Peyton Marshall, Marcus Allen and T.O. Barrett as part of an  impressive haul  for second-year coach Dennis Gates. The Tigers built on-court momentum with a 25-10 record and NCAA Tournament appearance in Gates' first season, and recruiting success has followed. In Boateng, the Tigers are getting a physical wing from nearby Little Rock (Arkansas)-Central High School. He is the No. 10 small forward in the class and the...

2023-2024 Fantasy Basketball Draft Rankings: Power forward tiers When it comes to drafting power forwards for fantasy basketball, it is essential to have a clear understanding of the players' skills, roles, and potential contributions to your team. To help you make informed decisions during the draft, we have divided power forwards into tiers based on their projected performance for the upcoming 2023-2024 NBA season. Tier 1: Elite Power Forwards Giannis Antetokounmpo - Antetokounmpo is a fantasy stud, with his ability to contribute across all categories. He provides a valuable combination of scoring, rebounding, assists, and defensive stats. Anthony Davis - Despite potential injury concerns, Davis remains an elite power forward due to his exceptional shot-blocking, rebounding, and scoring abilities. Zion Williamson - Williamson's scoring and efficiency make him an attractive fantasy option. He consistently puts up impressive numbers in points, rebounds, and field goal percentag...

  Indiana has a chance to land multiple elite Montverde Academy talents in the class of 2024. But one of them will not be 5-star forward Asa Newell. Newell announced a final four of Alabama, Georgia, Texas and Gonzaga on Wednesday. The 6-foot-9 Newell visited Indiana twice in 2022 but did not make a return visit, signaling he was likely to go elsewhere. Indiana’s options are dwindling in the senior class, but the Hoosiers are still after a main group that includes Liam McNeeley, Derik Queen, Boogie Fland, Curtis Givens and Annor Boateng.  Indiana has visited all but Boateng in the last week, and they’ll see him on campus Sept. 29.

  Duke basketball   coach   Jon Scheyer   continues to strengthen one area as the Blue Devils’ 2024 recruiting class comes together.  With the addition of five-star wing Kon Knueppel, who announced his commitment to the Blue Devils in a social media post on Thursday night, Scheyer has three players in the 2024 class known for shooting ability. “The Brotherhood just got bigger,” Knueppel  posted on X , formerly known as Twitter.  Knueppel joins  Isaiah Evans  and  Darren Harris  as Duke’s 2024 recruits. The Blue Devils are also in the mix for several other high-profile prospects, including Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper.  A 6-foot-6 wing at Wisconsin Lutheran, Knueppel averaged 19.7 points, 9.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists as a junior. On the AAU circuit, Knueppel led Nike’s EYBL league in scoring at 22.5 points per game in the spring. He shot 47.5% from 3-point range.  PLAYERS TO WATCH: 50 ACC college basketball players to watc...

  On Wednesday,   Chicago Bears   QB Justin Fields   vented his frustrations to the assembled media   and drew headlines for suggesting coaching was part of his poor play to start the season. As his quotes started making the rounds, Fields called the media back for a quick huddle just to make sure everyone knew he was taking accountability for his play and working alongside the coaches to figure out how to solve Chicago’s many problems. Fields’ quotes were almost immediately overshadowed by the  mysterious departure of defensive coordinator Alan Williams shortly there after . The fact that the Bears also put their starting left tackle, Braxton Jones, on IR with a neck injury barely even registered. On Thursday, as the Bears were still grappling with the fallout of the myriad of issues, Fields and offensive coordinator shared for moment captured by cameras. The result was a hilariously awkward hug in an attempt to bury the hatchet. Justin, blink twice if you...

  The   “are they or aren’t they?” rumors around Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce   aren’t going away any time soon. Rumors began earlier this month that Swift and Kelce might be dating, with neither party really saying whether it’s true or not. When Jason Kelce of the Eagles was asked about his brother’s dating life  he joked that while he doesn’t really keep up with who Travis is dating, he believes that it’s “100 percent true”  that T. Swift and T. Kelce are an item. On Thursday we got closest to the answer with Travis appearing on  The Pat McAfee Show  to address the rumors and discuss the season. RELATED Bet on Taylor’s Eagles of Kelce’s Chiefs at DraftKings Sportsbook So ... no. They’re not dating. It’s could happen in the future, and at least this gives credence to the idea that the pair are texting — but there’s nothing official on the cards right now. Basically the pitch is “I’ve seen you perform, so see me play.” We can move this rumor to the ba...
