Pick of the World

A cheeseburger and diet Coke? Or chicken parmigiana? Cristeta Comerford, former executive chef of the White House kitchen, reveals the eating habits of US presidents but advises future staff to “leave your politics at the door… food is a tool for diplomacy”. Plus Diddy on Trial, why we should try to eat less rice and how our brains use a form of GPS to help us navigate our lives.
