Azed crossword No. 2,322 last week appeared with the wrong rubric (New Review, page 41). Competitors should have been asked to submit with their entries a cryptic clue to replace the definition asterisked, sending them to Azed No. 2,322, PO Box 518, Oxford OX2 6WX. The competition is still open, closing on Saturday 17 December.
The Cass School of Education and Communities is part of the University of East London (Big Issue, last week).
Our critics’ review of the year last week mistakenly said that Dostoevsky was held in solitary confinement in Siberia. He was held in solitary confinement for eight months in the SS Peter and Paul fortress in St Petersburg (between his arrest and mock execution), but, like other prisoners sentenced to hard labour in Siberia, he served his sentence in barrack accommodation (New Review, page 16).
Our recipe for sweet potato cakes with tomato and basil sauce (Magazine, last week, page 45) called for 120g of fine crumbs, lemon zest, tarragon and beaten egg, but neglected to say what to do with them. Dip the floured patties first into the egg, lemon and tarragon mix and then into the crumbs.
