Mackerel over coals and seaside madeleines Emily Scott's Cornish recipes

Early in her new cookbook Time & Tide, Emily Scott writes that her life in Cornwall could be drawn from the lines of a Daphne du Maurier story.And so it appears from the gorgeous book as a whole.When she's not explaining how to make crab sandwiches and gorse-flower fudge to pack for boat trips, Scott is evoking sea mists and screeching gulls, precarious cliff walks and the whitewashed walls of her Newquay home decked out with nautical maps and seaweed prints.

Fighting for Life by Isabel Hardman; Critical by Dr Julia Grace Patterson reviews is the NHS really on its last legs?

What must it have been like to be there at the birth of the NHS on 5 July 1948?For some, it would have hardly affected their health (although it may have improved their bank balance) because, as Isabel Hardman points out in her terrific book, the problem before what was termed the appointed day hadn't been poor health facilities, but lack of access to them.
