1917. On a battlefield near the River Escaut, John lies injured in the aftermath of a blast, unable to move or feel his legs. Struggling to focus his thoughts, he is lost to memory – a chance encounter in a pub by a railway, a hot bath with his lover on a winter night, his childhood on a faraway coast – as the snow falls. 1920. John has returned from war to North Yorkshire, near another river – alive, but not still whole.

Vibrant and variable, this dish from UK restaurateur Ben Tish’s new cookbook Mediterra works any time of the day. This is my version of the Syrian-style breakfast omelette known as ejjeh. It’s not just for breakfast, though; I’ll happily make these for dinner with a fresh salad or cut them into slices to serve as part of a mezze. The saffron and yolks impart a vibrant yellow to the omelette base, which I find irresistible alongside the greens and fresh herbs.

In the aftermath of the Los Angeles Riot of 1992, Korean Americans gained visibility and recognition as a minority group—distinct from Chinese and Japanese Americans—because they were featured so prominently in media coverage. Korean Americans were often a largely invisible group in the United States prior to the Los Angeles Riot. The riot also had detrimental effects on Korean American businesses and raised Korean American political awareness and identity.
