Refill Your Wonderment Supply To Make For Better Magic
The colleague who sat next to me on my last flight home from Hamburg is not a confident air passenger. If you are in a similar situation the secret is to hide in the numbers rather than resort to personal experience. The is because, unless you are flying several times a week, your mind considers [...]
Eat A Prosperous 2012
Just having a look at Twitter, it seems we all haven’t clearly eaten enough over the last two weeks. So here are some food-based fortune suggestions to ring in a prosperous 2012! First, two points: One… a confession. I fucking hate New Years. Yes, that is as clichéd and obvious as saying “I really like [...]
Feast of Saint Martin: Patron of Not Being A Dick
That’s Halloween done for another year. And this weekend in the UK we have Guy Fawkes Night to look forward. After that… well… pretty soon after that is November 11. 2011. If you are playing along at home, that’s 11/11/11. What? You didn’t have anything planned? Neither did I. Conveniently for us both we can [...]
How Cooking With Mister Opus Banishes Ghosts
Because I clearly have the mental age of a small child, for me it is terribly exciting to discover that people you know are on vacation at the same time as you -even if they are on different continents. (When I read this post I just had to email and say “wheeee! Horay for the [...]
Voices On Creativity And Magic: Royal Wedding Series

Told you I was feeling contrary. But the first two articles strike me as an excellent example of why magical target selection takes guts. Or, to borrow Jason’s terminology: “Emergency Magic”. Giving to Japan is like lighting a candle to pay your rent this month. Giving strategically to MSF is enchanting for wealth. Check it: [...]
The Dark Side Of Seasonal Festivals
At the risk of becoming the Jamie Oliver of food magic -especially when I’m obviously aiming to be the Nigella of everything- there is another sacred cow here that might be worth hamburgering. This isn’t like pulling the wings off insects -something done just for a few more destructo-points but because it’s always good to [...]
Why Cooking Isn’t Alchemy
Tonight’s meal needs to be important. It’s been an insane couple of weeks. There have been earthquakes and missing relatives, visiting siblings, last minute business schleps and a death in the family. All during the most important couple of weeks of my career to date. It may not shock you to learn that all of [...]
5 Things You Can Do This Weekend
It’s feels like I have crawled over the Friday night finish line like the world’s worst marathon runner (which I probably am). Ever since this started happening. Too many countries, too many meetings, too many family visits and too many massive earthquakes. My partner’s aunt showed up by the way. The reason she was lost [...]
