“There is something about the process of making coeur à la crème that I find unashamedly romantic. The joy of the processes becomes a sort of food alchemy to get lost in.

They are all redolent of the love I have for the processes that create a finished product.”

RACE
“He doesn’t have a racist bone in his body.”
The prime minister defends new senator Jim Molan, who refuses to apologise for posting anti-Islamic videos online. As Jim’s supporters might remind Turnbull: Islam’s not a race, mate.
CRIME

The alleged jewellery thief describes sharing a cell with property developer Salim Mehajer. The image is terrifying and oddly steamy.

FOOD

THUGS
“There you go, mate. Throw your arm up. Out on building sites, breaking arms, carrying on.”

ABUSE
“Three words – I believe you – coming after years, decades, of authorities’ denial of responsibility.”
The prime minister announces an apology to victims of child sexual abuse will be delivered before the end of the year. It cannot come soon enough.
