The Autumn 2021 issue of Silver Digest features one of the most unlikely and delightful heroes of the pandemic: Dolly Parton. The legendary 75-year-old country singer has been a unifying beacon of moral clarity and humanity in a tumultuous time, and we celebrate her courage and humour. The rest of our autumn issue is filled with the combination of matters serious and light that we always try to bring, from financial and investment insights to health advice and, as always, the pleasures of books, art, motoring and home décor are covered, too. We have an excerpt from tashas Inspired, the new cookbook from Natasha Sideris, founder of one of our favourite café groups. In it, she makes it possible to recreate some of the culture of dining out right at home.
