Radio Gorgeous

How well do you know your area? No I mean REALLY know - not just the place names and the shops and where to get the best cup of coffee? Last week I went on a walk with local historian Caroline MacMillan of West London Walks and she told me some fascinating history around the Radio Gorgeous area and by the river in Hammersmith, West London.

Josephine and Donna have noticed it getting a touch Autumnal outside: time for a 15 minute recipe from Sainsbury's Magazine. This month it's a gorgeous melange of gnocci, butter, sage and walnuts. Burn that butter, crisp up the sage leaves and add the crunchy walnuts and voila! A perfect lunch, supper or in Donna's case, breakfast.

This is a Sainsbury’s recipe in association with Sainsbury’s Magazine. For more information, go to www.sainsburysmagazine.co.uk, and you will find these recipes in September 2017 edition of Sainsbury’s Magazine.

Celia Dodd had a dreary menopause, who doesn't? But she stuck it out without taking HRT or hormone replacement therapy. After seven gruelling years she came out the other side. And the heartening news is that Celia feels fabulous again, even better, Scottish dancing with relish and penning her first radio play. Stick it out women, there is hope on the other side. Celia is now working on a book on Retirement, for Bloomsbury, for publication in 2018.
