New York is a melting pot, home to people from all over the world. There is a sizable Chinese community, especially in Queens. This dish - fiery dan dan noodles - comes from the Szechuan province of China. Recipe from Jamie Oliver. #homecooking #dinner #America #NewYork #China #food #noodles

A year of songs, day 156: Alicia Keys shared this dreamlike song on her website in February 2014. She wrote the tune in the late 2000s but it had remained unreleased for several years. It was apparently inspired by a piece of art. #music #AliciaKeys #pop #R&B

A year of songs, day 155: Although originally recorded by Billy Preston in 1974 as the B-side of his single 'Struttin', this song was more famously later released by #JoeCocker. It became Cocker's highest-charting solo hit in the US, and shows off his gravelly voice perfectly #music #pop #soul #70s

What better way to start a journey through American cuisine than with the food that they're known the world over for: the cheeseburger, stacked with bacon, gherkin, tomato, fried onion and lettuce. Served with sweet potato fries. Recipe from Jamie Oliver. #homecooking #burger #dinner #food #America

This month's recipe book of choice is "Jamie's America" by Jamie Oliver. It's split into 6 sections; each covering a different city or state. I probably won't get through all 6 in a month, but I'm aiming to do at least 4. #food #recipebook #America #JamieOliver

A year of songs, day 154: Is it really almost 3 years since Olivia Newton-John died? Here she is singing the title song of the cult 1980 musical fantasy film 'Xanadu', which she starred in alongside Michael Beck and Gene Kelly. #music #pop #disco #Xanadu #OliviaNewtonJohn #80s

A year of songs, day 152: Although the Amy Winehouse cover of this track became more famous, I still prefer the original by the Merseyside band The Zutons. Maybe that's because I'll always be an indie boy at heart. #music #TheZutons #AmyWinehouse #indie #00s

A year of songs, day 151: "So I want to make a musical about trains. Where all the actors are on roller skates." It's a bonkers pitch. But somehow, Andrew Lloyd Webber managed to convince people it would work. This number is a riff on the song 'D-I-V-O-R-C-E'. #music #theatre #StarlightExpress

A year of songs, day 150: I couldn't do a month of musical theatre songs without including a bit of Stephen Sondheim. Based on a Victorian penny dreadful, this musical features a murderous barber who helps turn people into pies! #music #theatre #SweeneyTodd #Sondheim

A year of songs, day 149: What do you dream of? For put-upon Audrey, her dream is to leave her sadistic dentist boyfriend, and move to a matchbox house with a chain-link fence, "a washer, and a dryer, and an ironing machine" - along with her co-worker Seymour. #music #theatre #LittleShopOfHorrors

The reporting about the hooligan who drove his car into a crowd of people in Liverpool earlier in the week is ridiculous. Does him being a father of three, a company director or a former royal marine make him any less of a criminal? No.

Andrew Tate has been charged with rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution and actual bodily harm. Nigel Farage described him as "an important voice for young men". That tells you all you need to know about Farage's moral compass.

A year of songs, day 148: Set in a dystopian future where a 20-year drought has caused a terrible water shortage and private toilets are unthinkable, 'Urinetown' tells the story of how all public toilets are controlled by a megacorporation. Slowly, an uprising begins. #music #theatre #Urinetown

A year of songs, day 147: A song about grief today, as Alexander Hamilton - one of the American Founding Fathers - sees his son, Philip, die during a duel with George Eacker. Overcome with sadness, Hamilton temporarily retreats from public life. #music #theatre #Hamilton #America #FoundingFather
