A crowd-pleasing dish to serve up for a family meal or dinner party, Imad Alarnab’s Kataf Ghanam recipe hails from Syria. Kataf Ghanam (lamb shoulder) Serves: 4-6 Ingredients: For the marinade: 5 garlic cloves, grated 2 tbsp smoked paprika 1 tbsp mild Madras curry powder ½ tbsp ground black pepper 3cm piece of fresh ginger, grated 1 tbsp baharat (a spice mix blend) Juice of 1 lemon 1 tbsp tomato purée 2 tbsp red pepper paste Good pinch of salt 150ml olive oil For the lamb: 1.5-2kg lamb shoulder, bone in 10 garlic cloves, peeled 4 sprigs of thyme 4 sprigs of rosemary Method: 1. Mix together all the marinade ingredients in a large container. Rub the marinade all over the lamb so it’s completely covered. Cover and marinate in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours, ideally overnight. 2. When you’re ready to cook, preheat the oven to 160C/fan 140C/ gas 3. 3. Take the lamb from the fridge, then get a high-sided oven tray and line with a layer of foil and a layer of baking paper, large enough to cover the lamb. Add the garlic and herb sprigs to the middle, followed by the lamb and all the marinade (you can also add onions, carrots or potatoes at this stage, if you like). Fold the foil and baking paper over the lamb like a parcel, then flip it over and wrap it again in another layer of foil so the lamb is tightly wrapped and there are no gaps. We want to cook the lamb in its own juices, so it’s really important that it’s completely covered at this stage. 4. Place in the oven and cook for 4 hours or until the meat is falling off the bone. Remove from the oven, unwrap, increase the temperature to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and roast until browned on top. Serve with kabsa rice or plain bulgur. ‘Imad’s Syrian Kitchen’ by Imad Alarnab (HQ, £26) Read More The National Portrait Gallery’s new restaurant is fabulous upgrade The dish that defines me: Alex Outhwaite’s Vietnamese bun cha 3 TikTok-approved recipes for picnic season Imad Alarnab: In Calais’ Jungle refugee camp, food restored our faith It’s easier to make baklava at home than you might think Get set for Wimbledon with top pastry chef’s strawberry recipes

Karlie Kloss has finally addressed her viral Met Gala moment, in which she claimed to be “looking camp right in the eye” but somewhat missed the mark. Back in 2019, the theme for the annual Met Gala was “Camp: Notes on Fashion” based on Susan Sontag’s essay, Notes on Camp. The star-studded guest list pulled out all the fashion stops - Lady Gaga changed her outfit not once but four times on the red carpet alone, while Jared Leto arrived in a custom Gucci suit carrying a replica of his own head. As for Karlie Kloss, the Victoria’s Secret model teased her highly-anticipated outfit on Instagram before walking the red carpet. “Looking camp right in the eye,” she captioned her photo, which showed Kloss’ laser-focused stare into a compact mirror. But when she arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City - alongside her husband, Joshua Kushner - her outfit reveal was not exactly on theme. Instead, Kloss wore a metallic gold mini-dress with black puffed sleeves designed by Dapper Dan for Gucci - a more subdued number compared to the extravagant looks worn by fellow Met Gala attendees. However, the moment has since gone down in history as one of the best memes on the internet and, in turn, has become camp itself. Now, the 31-year-old model has spoken about the Instagram-post-turned-viral-meme in a video for Vogue shared on 8 November. In the clip, the supermodel broke down some of her most memorable fashion looks, including the 2019 Met Gala. “Oh boy,” Kloss said, as she turned to the iconic photo. “This was the Met Gala that, I think I broke the internet, but not in a good way. I still get trolled about this look, where I was ‘looking camp straight in the eye’ and I still get - rightfully - get trolled." “I’ll accept it. Honestly, I deserved that one,” she admitted. On 8 November, it was announced that the theme for the 2024 Met Gala will be “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”. The annual fashion fundraiser, which supports the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute, will be centred around 50 historically significant pieces, some of which are far too fragile ever to be worn again - the “Sleeping Beauties”. Nearly 250 items will also be drawn from the Costume Institute’s permanent collection, featuring designs from Elsa Schiaparelli, Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Dior, and Givenchy to span 400 years of fashion history. One of the main inspirations behind the theme were two fragile pieces from 1877 that are now too old to be worn: an Elizabethan bodice and a silk satin ball gown by the American couturier, Charles Frederick Worth. The exhibition will also be strongly focused on sustainability in fashion. It will be designed around three main “zones” - land, sea, and sky - and each zone will symbolise the natural materials used within it to create garments. In May, the theme for the 2023 Met Gala was in honour of late legendary designer Karl Lagerfeld, titled “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty”. While walking the red carpet, Kloss shocked fans when she revealed that she was expecting her second child with Kushner. The model showed off her growing baby bump in a black dress from Loewe, designed by Jonathan Anderson. Kloss went on to welcome her second son, Elijah Jude, just two months later. The couple, who were married in 2018, are also parents to son Levi Joseph, two.

Sienna Miller joined stars from music, fashion, theatre and royalty in a daring outfit at the Vogue World event. She was the latest celebrity to bare her baby bump on the red carpet – following in the maternity style footsteps of Rihanna – and wore a romantic two-piece from Schiaparelli. Miller later changed into a red tartan set to perform onstage at London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane, matching with some of the UK’s leading acting talent: Damian Lewis, Cush Jumbo, James Corden and James McAvoy. The blockbuster show opened with model Kate Moss walking across the stage, and closed with the appearance of four of the “original supers”: Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington, who debut an Apple TV+ docuseries tracking their rise to fame on September 20. The second annual event followed a New York edition held in 2022, and celebrated music, theatre and fashion at the beginning of London Fashion Week (September 15-19). It saw musical performances from FKA Twigs, Stormzy and Annie Lennox, along with a Shakespearean monologue from actress Sophie Okonedo. Fashion was front and centre, with models including Jourdan Dunn, Ashley Graham, Emily Ratajkowski and Cara Delevingne wearing creations from designer labels: Richard Quinn, Miu Miu, Alexander McQueen and more. Daring style was also a common theme on the star-studded red carpet. Queen & Slim actor Jodie Turner-Smith chose a couture outfit for the night: a revealing Viktor & Rolf creation made up of a statement satin bow, opera gloves and matching underwear. Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan wore a timeless black off-the-shoulder gown by Harris Reed – who showed his latest collection on Wednesday night – and added some drama with a statement black and gold headpiece. Presenter and model Alexa Chung went all-in on feathers for her look: a flirty, Sixties-inspired two-piece from Nicklas Skovgaard, made up of shorts, a crop top and a matching feather headpiece, topped off with Boucheron jewellery. I May Destroy You writer and actress Michaela Coel opted for a structured leather-look blazer, seemingly tapping into the trend for wearing knickers as outerwear, first seen on the Miu Miu catwalk in March. October Vogue cover star Kate Winslet was more demure in her fashion choices, wearing a slouchy cream suit with a beige underwear-style top underneath. Royalty was also in attendance, with Princess Eugenie in a jewel-toned blue-green Fendi gown. Princess Beatrice wore a classic floral dress from London-based designer Richard Quinn, complete with built-in gloves and a cape. Posing on the red carpet together, model Poppy Delevingne, designer Stella McCartney and actress Carey Mulligan were all smiles – Delevingne wearing a pop of colour, while McCartney and Mulligan opted for black gowns. Simone Ashley was another Bridgerton star on the red carpet, wearing a bejewelled net couture dress by Tamara Ralph with a white bodysuit underneath. Crazy Rich Asians star Gemma Chan sparkled in a dark silver Louis Vuitton strapless dress, with her hair in a sleek updo and a red lip. Flying the flag for sustainable fashion were singer Rita Ora, model Twiggy and TikTok star Wisdom Kaye. All were wearing pre-loved fashion and accessories from eBay: Ora in a timeless black strapless dress, Twiggy in a red velvet suit and Kaye in wide-legged white trousers and a navy coat. Game Of Thrones star Maisie Williams wore experimental brand Maison Margiela, donning a black mini dress with a Peter Pan collar, cut-off sheer tights and an interesting headpiece.
