“I love cheese, especially blue cheese, and I love fritters,” says Matt Tebbutt. The Saturday Kitchen chef – who has teamed up with ProCook – combines crispy parmesan fritters with Roquefort spinach for a decadent dish. Parmesan fritters with Roquefort spinach Serves: 4 Ingredients: Vegetable oil, for deep-frying 100ml full-fat milk 50g unsalted butter 100ml water 125g plain flour 1 tsp English mustard powder 2 medium free-range eggs 1 tsp chopped thyme leaves 280g parmesan, grated 200g baby spinach 3½ tbsp crème fraîche 3½ tbsp double cream 100g Roquefort cheese Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg Method: 1. Preheat the oil in a deep-fat fryer to 180C, or half-fill a deep, heavy-based pan with oil set over medium-high heat. The oil is hot enough when a small cube of bread dropped into the oil turns golden brown in 40-50 seconds (or you can test the temperature using a probe thermometer). 2. Put the milk, butter and water in a large saucepan and bring to the boil. As soon as it comes to the boil, add the flour and mustard and beat together with a wooden spoon or large whisk to make a thick paste. 3. Take off the heat and allow to cool slightly (if you don’t cool it the mixture may split). Gradually beat in the eggs, thyme and 200 grams of the grated Parmesan. 4. Use a dessertspoon to gently drop each fritter into the hot oil and cook until crisped up and golden. They will take four to five minutes in the fryer, turning frequently. Remove and drain on a plate lined with paper towels and keep warm. 5. Next, heat a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the spinach and cook until wilted down, then add the crème fraîche, cream and Roquefort cheese and cook until the cheese is melted. Finish with the freshly grated nutmeg. 6. To serve, layer the spinach and cheese mixture onto a serving plate, top with the yummy fritters and sprinkle over the remaining grated Parmesan. Recipe from ‘Weekend’ by Matt Tebbutt (Quadrille, £22). Traditional fish soup Tebbutt shares his take on a traditional fish soup – full of mussels, cod, scallops and whatever seafood you fancy. Serves: 4 Ingredients: 1kg of mixed sea fish – on the bone if possible, but just fillets is fine. Any crab claws or shells or prawns in shell would be a great addition 1 white onion 1 head of garlic, broken into cloves 1 star anise 1 carrot ½ fennel bulb 3 sticks of celery 2 bay leaves 1 small bunch of thyme 125ml Noilly Prat 2 tbsp tomato purée 400g tin of plum tomatoes 1 pinch of saffron 1 bunch of tarragon For the toppings: 1kg of cleaned mussels in shell 50ml white wine or Noilly Prat 1 bay leaf and smashed garlic clove 1 small sea bass or grey mullet or other British sea fish 200g cod fillet 1 red mullet or gurnard (optional) 2 scallops Method: 1. Start by sweating the veg and aromatics (except the tarragon) in some oil for 15 to 20 minutes, until soft and starting to colour. 2. Add the fish and shells if using, bones and all to the pan and continue to cook for another 10 minutes or so before adding the tomato purée, saffron strands, vermouth or wine, and tomatoes. 3. Cook to a paste then barely cover with water and allow to simmer very gently for 30 minutes. 4. After this time, blitz briefly with a hand blender to get the most out of the fish, before draining in a colander and push as much liquid from the bones as possible. 5. Tip these bones away and now add the tarragon to the stock and boil to reduce. Skim off any fat as you go. Reduce to around half the volume. Taste and season accordingly. 6. Take a dry saucepan with a lid and put onto a high heat. Add the mussels, Noilly Prat, bay and garlic clove, immediately cover with a lid and shake the pan from time to time. 7. After two to three minutes, check all the mussels have opened. Remove from the heat. Tip into a sieve or colander. Allow to cool before picking the meat from the shells. Discard any that don’t open. 8. Now strain this liquor through a fine mesh sieve or chinois and tip into the reduced stock. 9. Fillet the rest of the fish and pan fry these and the scallops on one side, (depending on the thickness). Keep warm. 10. To serve, put some of the cooked fish into the bottom of a serving bowl, and ladle some of the fish soup over the top . 11. For the perfect finishing touch, add homemade croutons and rouille. Coconut bread and raspberry cream “This is more cake than bread, I’d say,” notes Tebbutt. Tebbutt adds: “It’s especially delicious toasted in a dry pan to crisp the edges a little. This works well as a stand-alone brunch treat or as a sweet snack at any time of the day.” Makes: 8-10 slices Ingredients: 370g plain flour 3 tbsp baking powder 1-2 tsp salt 160g caster sugar 80g desiccated coconut 300ml coconut milk 2 large free-range eggs, beaten 1 tsp vanilla extract 75g butter, melted and kept warm For the raspberry cream: 100g crème fraîche 100g mascarpone 1-2 tsp good-quality raspberry jam 150g raspberries, to serve Method: 1. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/400F/gas mark 6. Line a 900g loaf tin approximately 24cm x 14cm with baking paper. 2. Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and desiccated coconut in a mixing bowl. Combine the coconut milk, eggs, vanilla extract and melted butter in a jug, mix well, then slowly pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix well between additions to form a smooth batter. 3. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and bake for 45 minutes to one hour. Allow to cool a little on a wire rack before turning out and slicing. 4. To make the raspberry cream, beat the crème fraîche and the mascarpone in a bowl. Gently mix through a spoonful of the raspberry jam to give a ripple effect. 5. When you’re ready to eat, toast the bread in a dry pan, spread over a little jam and top with the raspberry cream and fresh raspberries. Recipe from ‘Weekend’ by Matt Tebbutt (Quadrille, £22).

Actor Noah Schnapp has been seen promoting 'Hamas is Isis' and 'Zionism is sexy' stickers. Schnapp, who is Jewish, posted a statement to Instagram back in October saying he was "afraid" after the attacks by Hamas. Writing "you either stand with Israel or you stand with terrorism". On October 7 Hamas carried out an attack where they entered Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip, killing more than 1,400 people. Since then Israel have launched out a counter military campaign, with Palestinian officials saying more than 10,000 people have been killed in Gaza. As a result, waves of 'Free Palestine' marches have occurred worldwide. Zionism is defined by Cambridge Dictionary as "a political movement that had as its original aim the creation of a country for Jewish people, and that now supports the state of Israel". Schnapp was tagged in what appears to be an Instagram story whilst he and his friends hold up the stickers smiling and laughing in a restaurant. Many on Twitter/X have been sharing the video with their views. With some saying his blatant sharing of views contradicts with his claim of being afraid. Others compared Palestinian-American model Bella Hadid losing jobs for supporting Palestine whilst Schnapp and other Israel supporters such as Amy Schumer, do not. Many also called on the boycotting of season 5 of Stranger Things, the show where Schnapp made his name: Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Hollywood actor Marlon Wayans has opened up about what it’s been like as a parent to a transgender child, admitting he was in “denial” at first. Wayans is best known for his role in White Chicks and the actor recently spoke about his eldest child who is transgender. Speaking on The Breakfast Club radio show, Wayans opened up about his 23-year-old son Kai’s gender identity, revealing that he is transgender. In a discussion about an upcoming stand-up special about the topic, Wayans spoke about the content, explaining: “I have a daughter that transitioned into a son. My daughter Amai is now Kai, and so, I talk about the transition. “Not their transition, but my transition as a parent, going from ignorance and denial to complete unconditional love and acceptance.” He continued the conversation, adding that there are a lot of parents who would benefit from hearing his positive message about his “respect” for his child’s identity. Wayans added: “I think there's a lot of parents out there that need to have that message and I know I'm dealing with it. “It was a very painful situation for me but, man, [the show is] one of the best, funniest hours I could ever imagine.” The proud father said, “I just want my kids to be free. I want them to be free in spirit, free in thought, free to be themselves. The more you know yourself, the more you can govern yourself. The more you live your truth, the happier your existence”. Given the current hostile political climate surrounding trans rights, people praised Wayans for his unconditional love and support of his child. “What an incredible man and excellent parent. Wow!” someone commented. Another wrote: “This is beautiful. And the fact that this is coming from a BLACK FATHER makes it more beautiful.” Someone else said: “Love this. The type of dad I strive to be every day.” How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Sign up to our free indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
