Beloved Rowan Atkinson (of Mr. Bean fame) makes a comeback in new Netflix series Man Vs Bee: Atkinson is back with his hilarious antics as he plays Trevor — a bumbling father trying to prove that he’s capable of taking responsibility for his daughter after a divorce. Trevor gets offered a job to house sit a posh tech-enabled mansion that predictably doesn’t go very well. During the job, a bee enters the house and drives Trevor a bit crazy and a lot of the show sees him fixated on trying to kill it. Each episode is under 20 minutes long and features Trevor as he attempts to take care of the house, but ends up making a huge mess of things. There’s a sweet parallel plotline where he tries to connect with his daughter and find a way to be in her life post-divorce. Atkinson plays a similar character to Mr. Bean, but with a bit more dialogue. The show is great to put on while having lunch and is sure to make you laugh. Check out the trailer before you give it a go (watch, runtime: 01:32).

???? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-
Popular UK restaurant chain, Dishoom's first cookbook, Dishoom: From Bombay With Love, takes you on a journey of the diverse history of Mumbai (formerly Bombay), with snacks, meals and refreshments that once tantalized foodies at Irani cafés that once filled Bombay. The barrier breaking Irani cafés were opened in the early 20th century by Zoroastrian immigrants and were one of the first places in Bombay where people of any religion, background, or class were able to sit down for a meal or cup of chai together. At their peak in the 1960s, there were almost four hundred cafes, but today fewer than thirty remain. The book has over 100 recipes from Parsi, Muslim, Hindu and Christian cuisines running the gamut from Black Daal, to Jackfruit Biryani, Chicken Ruby and Lamb Raan.
