Russell Norman: 'I find something really therapeutic about making risotto'

Chicken noodle soup

String theory: Bill Granger takes a simple approach to Asian noodle soups

To me, a bowl of noodle soup is always a meal on the run and is invariably inspired by the myriad varieties found in Asia. I dragged my poor children to stand-up udon bars when two of them were still in buggies, which they still talk about, and pho was my lunch of choice for years in Sydney from a particularly curious second-floor food court. I love the way you can be in and out of a ramen or laksa bar in 20 minutes.
