Sali Hughes on beauty: eye creams that are worth using down to the last drop

Face cream is often enough, but if you want a separate product for your eyes, these new ones are terrific valueA hill I will die on: you do not necessarily need an eye cream. There are, I will admit, reasons why you might fare better with one. You may have a very dry eye area and oily skin elsewhere, for example, causing a skincare mismatch. Or, conversely, you may find your daily face cream is too rich for your eyes and makes them puffy, so they need something lighter. You may want a little cosmetic light reflection, or you might use active ingredients like retinol that your face tolerates perfectly well, but that your eyes can take only in a lower concentration.It may, of course, be none of the above, but just that you find using an eye cream a pleasure, which is as good a reason as any.

‘The nipple touch of doom’: what is sad nipple syndrome and what causes it?

People everywhere are searching for the reason behind their sudden bursts of anguish or homesicknessWomen: was your autoimmune condition misdiagnosed?Some say it feels like a sudden burst of anguish; others liken it more to homesickness. The sudden onset of a sinking, upsetting feeling due to nipple stimulation is anecdotally known as Sad Nipple Syndrome (SNS), and for Sandra, it can be triggered by something as commonplace as putting on a shirt.“I was probably a child when I first noticed: ‘Why does touching my nipple make me sad?’” says the 28-year-old. The sensation seemed to happen at random, and without the words to describe it, she kept it a secret. It wasn’t until college that she worked up the courage to Google it. “I realized I wasn’t crazy,” she says. Continue reading...

Why autumn means sausages | Kitchen aide

Slowly cooked, sticky sausages sauteed with onion, soy and perhaps a bit of Marmite … our panel even has bangers with bangs for bonfire nightWhat are the best, comforting sausage dinners for autumn? Rachel, by email Sausages defy the seasons, being just as at home inside buns in the summer as they are simmering in stews come autumn. “Sausages are one of the most adaptable ingredients – they go with almost anything,” says Ali Stoner, author of Scran. “Obviously, there’s the classic Scottish sausage stovies, which, for me, is one of the most comforting of dishes, but then there are stewed sausages.” For this, she starts by frying sausages until “kind of browning”, then sets aside. “Caramelise lots of onions in the fat left in the pan, then stir in a little flour, pop the sausages back in with a bit of stock, a splash of soy, maybe a squeeze of Marmite – that always freaks people out – and simmer.” That’s then good to go with a big mound of mash or rice.If it’s a sausage-and-beans kind of night, David Gingell, co-founder of Primeur, Westerns Laundry and Jolene, all in London, colours a couple of rashers of streaky bacon and some fennel sausages in a heavy-based pan. “Take them out, and you should be left with a good amount of fat in which to sweat an obscene amount of finely diced onions with some salt and a couple of crushed garlic cloves, until sticky and delicious.” Add some chopped carrots, too, should the mood take you, but Gingell often doesn’t bother. Add a good glug of cider, white wine (or sherry), followed by some bay leaves and a couple of jars of butter beans. “Pour in chicken stock, return the sausages to the pot and get them in a medium-hot oven for 30-40 minutes, until caramelising on top.” Crucially, they’ll then need a 30-minute rest: “Chop up the fried bacon, chuck that in, too, and serve with cabbage cooked with olive oil and/or butter and onions, plus a pot of mustard.”Got a culinary dilemma?
