This Japanese vegetable fritter’s name literally translates as “cooked as you like it”, which is perhaps the most important thing you should know about okonomiyaki. Though sold in restaurants, stalls and convenience stores, it’s also easy to make at home: chef Ivan Orkin dubs it “a clean-out-the-fridge-franken-pancake”, which, “as you might guess”, is “usually something you scarf down during a night of drinking ”. Quick, simple and gratifyingly.

his Japanese vegetable fritterâs name literally translates as âcooked as you like itâ, which is perhaps the most important thing you should know about
okonomiyaki. Though sold in restaurants, stalls and convenience stores, itâs also easy to make at home: chef Ivan Orkin dubs it âa clean-out-the-fridge-franken-pancakeâ, which, âas you might guessâ, is âusually something you scarf down during a night of drinkingâ. Quick, simple and gratifyingly substantial, as well as infinitely adaptable, it also happens to be ideal for those times when you think you have nothing much to eat; I can confirm from experience that even badly made okonomiyaki tastes good. But how do you make a great one?

Neville and Doreen Lawrence made the comment 28 years to the day since their son was murdered in an unprovoked attack by a gang of racists in Eltham, south-east London, and as a public inquiry into shadowy undercover policing tactics held a minute’s silence in his memory.
They said: “Despite the brutal circumstances of Stephen’s death, those left behind have campaigned to ensure that his legacy is ultimately one of hope, reminding us that change is both much needed but also possible.”
