Food books for a festive Christmas and holiday season
Dear Reader, My family doesn't celebrate Christmas. I managed to get around that hurdle, by the judicious act of entering this world on Christmas Eve. I went to school in a Catholic Convent with nativity plays and cake to mark the day. Thus topping nature with nurture has ensured my Christmas week stays about food, festivities and presents.

What does mental health mean to the people of Malindi? Original
Which way now? We scan the verge for signs to a place that is not on any map. My smartphone purports to know where we are. Invisible signals bounce and connect to inform Location Services: the world shrunk to a set of coordinates, a dropped pin, a pulsing blue icon confirming you are here: near the town of Malindi. But what good is a position when you have no sense of direction?

Priya Basil on the Living Histories of Regional Cuisine
The way we cook for and eat with others is one of the more tangible, quotidian ways of measuring generosity. The type and amount of food offered, how it’s served and to whom—these things define hospitality at the table, and beyond. Around the world, more people may be spending less time cooking—in the UK, US and Germany right now it’s between five and six hours a week—and eating.
Hunger, hellfire and fizz: the best books about feasting
Photograph: Photos 12 / Alamy/Alamy Imagine sitting down to a lavish meal with a vow “to be silent upon all matters of food and drink”. This is the resolve of Martina and her sister Philippa when their housekeeper decides to cook a “real French dinner” in Babette’s Feast by Isak Dinesen. As Babette brings in blinis Demidoff, turtle soup, cailles en sarcophage, as she refills glasses with Veuve Clicquot 1860, the guests remain silent.
Being a good host is about more than just the food
Being a good host is about more than just the food.

Essay zur europäischen Bürgerschaft: Herzblut für die Demokratie
Was ist zu tun? In einem Wort: DEMOS. Der EU-Kreislauf braucht eine Infusion gewöhnlicher Bürger – dem Herzblut der Demokratie. Der Demos wird immer wieder von Demagogen beschworen, die behaupten, für die einfachen Leute – und zu ihnen – zu sprechen, doch ihre Definition „der Leute“ ist vage und stets ausgrenzend.
Wir sind der Brexit
Doch, ihr auch. Euer Land, eure offene Gesellschaft, eure Einwandererfamilie. Auch viele von uns – mehr, als wir glauben – könnten in solch einem Klima der Angst, wie es vor dem Referendum in Großbritannien verbreitet wurde, den Notausgang wählen, der eine Abkürzung in ein prall gefülltes Paradies verspricht, wo die Sonne immer scheint und wo alle (die so sind wie wir) glücklich bis ans Ende ihrer Tage von (hiesigem) Brot und (heimischem) Wein leben. Aber nein, im Ernst, wie konnten sie nur?
Flüchtlinge: Freundschaft als Nährboden
1. "Egoistisch ist nicht, wer darauf besteht, so zu leben, wie er möchte. Egoistisch ist, wer darauf besteht, dass alle so leben, wie er möchte."
