The two “core” depression symptoms are low mood and loss of interest in activities. In addition to those, people may also experience changes in appetite, trouble sleeping, tiredness, feelings of guilt, trouble concentrating, or thoughts of death. While only a qualified medical or mental health provider can diagnose depression, there are certain warning signs that can help you identify whether you or someone you care about may be depressed.

The wok is a kitchen powerhouse. Its deep, bowl-shaped design heats quickly and evenly, with enough surface area to toss ingredients confidently, which is why it’s perfect for stir-fries. But I use mine for far more than that. A good wok can handle sautéing, braising, boiling, deep-frying and, if it comes with a lid, steaming too.Traditional carbon steel woks with rounded bottoms are brilliant for achieving that smoky ‘wok hei’ flavour, but they do need seasoning and a bit more care. Modern versions with flat bases and non-stick coatings are often better suited to home hobs. I’ve tested a wide…

New research suggests we’ve been looking at the wrong numbers this whole time.

After January—arguably the Monday of months—Presidents Day weekend feels like a reward. Every year, this holiday sneaks up on me. I’m still congratulating myself for emotionally surviving all 74 days of January when boom—brands are slashing prices on their entire inventory, sales are stacking on sales and my cart is filling itself.

And now I’m rationalizing the urge to buy a new Le Creuset casserole dish like it’s a financial investment, not a lifestyle choice. Join me…
