Any school mum at this time of year will be familiar with the white cardboard box sent home to be filled for the fete cake stall. I believe there are two types of mums – those who drive that white box directly to the nearest Bakers Delight and those who stay up all night making their nut-free, allergen-free, everything-free bliss balls. Me? Well, ever since my “epic fail” as my son Max calls it, where I proudly named my pound cake “Best Ever, Never-Fail Pound Cake” for the school recipe book and forgot to include the eggs, I’m straight to the nearest cake shop! We’ve got you covered this year with super-easy fete stall winners on p48. There may be hope for me yet!…

This is the girl that was hurt by a monster,” the caption on the photo of Rose McGowan reads. “This is who you are shaming with your silence.” The actress’ heartbreaking post came just days after she revealed esteemed US film producer Harvey Weinstein had sexually harassed her. And it turned out she wasn’t alone. A New York Times investigation has accused the movie mogul and former studio executive of sexually harassing or engaging in unwanted physical contact with some of the biggest female stars – and alleges he’s settled claims with eight women since 1990. Along with Rose, Double Jeopardy star Ashley Judd was named as another actress who’d endured terrifying experiences with Harvey. In the days following, three women went on to accuse the Miramax co-founder of rape,…

She’s set to become the next princess, but as she prepares for life as a royal, stunning Meghan Markle has faced endless criticism. Not only is the Suits star’s ex-husband said to be writing a book about her, but Meghan’s co-stars and even her estranged family have spoken publicly about her and cast their predictions for her relationship. But amid all the chatter, Meghan, 36, has the loving support of one very special family member – her nephew Thomas Markle Jr. His dad, Meghan’s half-brother Thomas, may have spoken out of turn, but Thomas Jr only sends love and support to his Aunt Meghan and her Prince Charming. Dear Aunt Meghan, I just wanted you to know that I am proud of you. Ever since your status became known with…

‘The first time Bella cooked for me, I knew it was love’ Married At First Sight’s James Webster went on TV to find his perfect partner but left heartbroken and still very single – until he met My Kitchen Rules winner Bella Jakubiak in what can only be described as a fairytale ending. Just 12 months to the day after their first date, the couple tied the knot in a traditional church wedding that couldn’t have been more different from when James “married” TV wife Michelle in 2015 for the Nine reality show. His onscreen “bride” dumped him soon after the cameras stopped rolling, going back to her ex-partner, who she later married. But that romantic nightmare was a dim memory for James on a beautiful spring morning this month…

Nail the perfect pasta PASTA  Not all pasta is created equal so always use a good quality pasta. This will give you the best final outcome. WATER  Most people don’t use enough water when they cook their pasta and this results in it sticking together. My rule is a minimum of 1 litre of water per 100g of pasta. SALT  Pasta water must be salted. Add salt when the water reaches boiling point. This will enhance the flavour of the pasta. Add 7g of salt per litre of water. DON’T RINSE  Never rinse pasta after it is cooked. The residual starch on the pasta is vital to allow the pasta and sauce to stick together. PAIR IT PROPERLY  In Italy, there are more than 300 types of pasta shapes from…

A study has shown 30 minutes of gardening could help you burn as many calories as a walk or cycle. Personal trainer and founder of Built Lifting Co Dan Nolan explains how you can turn your hobby into a workout. 1 WEEDING It’s probably not one of your favourite activities, but squatting as you weed is a great way to get in a leg workout.
