Janhvi Kapoor's 'Reset' In London Is All About Delicious Indulgences With Khushi Kapoor And Shikhar Pahariya
Janhvi Kapoor's love for food is no longer a secret. And, amidst her hectic shoot schedules, all she sought was 'a reset'. Curious how she attained it? For a self-proclaimed foodie like her, the answer was simple - by spending ample quality time with her loved ones over some shared food escapades. She dropped a post on Instagram, giving a glimpse inside the same, and it featured cute foodie moments with Khushi Kapoor and Shikhar Pahariya in London. In one of the frames of her carousel, the Ulajh actress was seen posing for the lens along with her little sister Khushi Kapoor at a surreal location by a lake. But what caught our attention was the delectable spread of the duo's picnic setup. It included a flattering place filled with mini pancakes served alongside what appears to be small orange pieces of smoked salmon and a couple of egg whites cut in half. Two small bowls - one containing fresh herbs like chives and another one seemingly having melted yellow butter or sweet sauce were also part of the platter. The picnic spread was a treat for the eyes. Freshly cut slices of a variety of fruits, including kiwi, strawberries and orange bell peppers, were also arranged on another wooden board, accompanied by glasses of some delectable dips. Further, there was an assortment of cured meats (seemingly ham or salami), cheese and berries, serving as a perfect appetiser for the picnic. Bite-sized versions of a classic Italian Caprese salad were also present over there. Made with cherries, tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella balls threaded onto small toothpicks, these help ease the consumption. Coming to the pleasing decoration of the setup, it featured a flower vase, a tote basket and champagne glasses, seemingly shielding the champagne bottles behind them to wrap up their picnic date on a good note. Watch the full post below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Janhvi Kapoor (@janhvikapoor) But it seems for a foodie like Janhvi Kapoor, the Italian-style picnic was not enough for her 'reset'. In another frame of her carousel, she was also seen radiating her huge smile while holding a glass of white wine and soaking up the sun. Finally, the Dhadak star showcased her mischievous stunt with Shikhar Pahariya, which is quite relatable to every lovey-dovey pair. Despite savouring her bowl of what appears to be a delectable dessert, she couldn't stop herself from diving into some from Shikhar's bowl. Hilariously amusing, isn't it? After her bewitching action, the expression on Shikhar's face was undoubtedly universal.

Italianesque Fresh Spring Rolls Add Bright Colors to Dinner; Tomatoes, Cheese Give New Take on Classic Dish
The Yomiuri Shimbun Fresh, Italian-style spring rolls Italian cuisine chef Yoshinaga Jinbo wraps tomatoes and cheese in rice paper and serves them with two dipping sauces for fresh, Italian-style spring rolls. They make a refreshing snack for casual nibbling. Thinking about fresh spring rolls likely brings up images of Asian food for most people. However, for this recipe, Jinbo said, 'I used tomato, avocado, arugula, basil and other ingredients to make something more like salad rolls.' Dishes he serves at his restaurant in Tokyo are all colorful, beautiful and edible works of art. They are a feast for the eyes and tastebuds alike. 'I've liked drawing ever since I was a child,' Jinbo said. 'When I think of new recipes, I work up plans while writing down the elements of ingredient flavors, one by one, and the color combinations they make.' For the fresh spring rolls, he prepared paper-thin omelets and rolled each of them together with a piece of rice paper so the yellow color of the egg is visible through it. The red, yellow, green and white ingredient colors make a great match. They look beautiful when cut with a knife. The fresh spring rolls also make for a feast with a variety of flavors, such as the salty taste of uncured ham, the succulent sensation of tomato, the mild taste of avocado and the distinct aroma of arugula. As for the textures, chunky sticks of mozzarella cheese are nice and chewy, while the tomato and avocado, cut into wedges, give a more substantial feel. They are accompanied by two types of dipping sauce. A small amount of pepper sauce gives depth to the balsamic sauce. Add pine nuts to the basil sauce to enhance its flavor. Basil leaves can lose their fresh green color when their temperature rises due to the mixing process in a blender. To avoid this, cool the blender's jar in a refrigerator beforehand. The balsamic sauce can be addictive, with its richly sour taste and hint of spiciness. The basil sauce is aromatic. With perfectly balanced tastes, textures and nutrition, these fresh spring rolls will be a fantastic addition to your dinner table in early summer. Italian-style spring rolls Ingredients (serves 3 to 4):

Scotch eggs, but make them low-carb – and crispier than ever in the air fryer
The humble Scotch egg gets a low-carb makeover in this easy air fryer recipe – all the crunch, none of the crash 'Scotch eggs were invented by Fortnum and Mason in 1738 for travellers heading west from London on train journeys,' says food writer and cookery school owner Katie Caldesi. 'Scotch eggs still make the perfect food-to-go today as they are robust and filling. I love to eat them with mustard, so I try to take this along with me, too. Add herbs if your sausagemeat doesn't already contain them.' Air fryer Scotch eggs Makes: 4 Ingredients: Extra-virgin olive oil 400g high-meat-content sausages or sausagemeat 2 tsp finely chopped fresh or dried rosemary 60g finely grated Parmesan, Grana Padano or Italian-style hard cheese 60g sesame seeds Pinch of chilli flakes (optional) 1 egg 4 soft-boiled eggs, cooled and peeled Method: 1. Spray or brush a crisper in the drawer generously with oil. Score a line down the sausages, if using, and peel away the skins. Put the sausages or sausagemeat into a bowl and roughly divide into four portions. 2. To prepare the coating, mix all the dry ingredients together in another bowl. Crack and beat the egg in another bowl. 3. Take one portion of the sausagemeat and flatten it in your hand to just larger than your palm. Take a boiled egg and put it on the meat. Curl your hand around it and press it into a ball shape so that the egg is evenly covered with the meat. Repeat with the other portions of sausagemeat and boiled eggs. Wash and dry your hands. 4. Using one hand, dip each sausage-covered egg into the beaten egg to coat and then drop it into the dry mixture. Use the other hand to tip the bowl from side to side to coat the wet ball. Use the same dry hand to roll it around so that it is evenly coated. Lay the Scotch egg on a large plate and then repeat with the remaining sausage-covered eggs. 5. The Scotch eggs are best double-dipped to create a thicker, crisper coating, so take each one and repeat the process above, returning them to the plate. 6. Spray with oil from the top and put them, spaced apart, oil-side down, on the crisper. Spray the tops with oil. 7. Air fry at 200C for seven minutes, or until richly golden brown. Turn the eggs and continue to cook for five to seven minutes until richly golden brown all over. 8. Remove from the drawer and serve straight away or allow to cool to room temperature. Store in the refrigerator for up to two days. The Independent

Prince Harry has no 'real friends': Meghan Markle's husband is 'desperately lonely', spends time with bodyguards
Prince Harry may be living in a $14 million Italian-style mansion in California with his wife Meghan Markle and their two children, but life behind closed doors is reportedly far from perfect for the Duke of Sussex. According to NewsNation, which cited unnamed sources close to the royal, Prince Harry is feeling 'desperately lonely,' cut off from long-time friends and family, and struggling to form close relationships in the US. 'He doesn't really have any real friends in the area except for polo star Nacho Figueras, and Nacho travels constantly for matches," a friend told the outlet. 'He spends a lot of his time chilling with his bodyguards." Though Harry remains close to a few old friends from the UK, such as Guy Pelly and Mark Dyer, the time difference and distance have made regular contact difficult. 'There's no one else for him to hang out with besides Nacho, Meghan, and the children," the source added. The report also said that since stepping down from royal duties in 2020, Harry's social circle has grown smaller. 'It's hard to forge deep friendships when you're older especially when you're wary of people leaking things to the press," one insider noted. A friend even compared Harry's current situation to that of his great-great-uncle Edward VIII, who gave up the throne for love and lived abroad. 'It's like history is repeating itself," the friend said. Meanwhile, Meghan Markle reportedly wishes Harry could move on. 'Meghan wishes her husband could feel less burdened by the past and more present in the life they've built together,' a source told *People* magazine. Prince Harry's Life in California Compared to Edward VIII's Exile Prince Harry's current situation is drawing comparisons to that of his great-great-uncle, Edward VIII, who abdicated the British throne to marry Wallis Simpson and spent the rest of his life abroad, largely distanced from the royal family. A source told NewsNation, 'It's like history is repeating itself,' referring to Harry's estrangement from King Charles and Prince William and his life away from royal duties in the United States. However, unlike Edward and Wallis, Harry and Meghan have remained in the public eye through media projects, including Netflix shows, books, and public appearances. The Duke of Sussex is said to be struggling with loneliness, having left behind most of his social circle in the UK. Though still close to long-time friends like Guy Pelly and Mark Dyer—who also have American wives—they are based in Texas and Virginia, making regular meetings rare. 'It's harder to forge deep friendships with people when you're older, especially if you're wary they may speak to the press,' a friend was quoted as saying. Harry is also reportedly upset about delays in securing British passports for his children, Archie and Lilibet. According to reports, he even sought advice from his uncle, Earl Spencer, about possibly adopting his late mother Princess Diana's surname. While he ultimately did not go with 'Spencer', the Sussexes are said to have dropped 'Mountbatten-Windsor' and now quietly use 'Sussex' as their family name.
