Tray-baked garlic mushroom, mascarpone and artichoke pizza
This style of pizza is probably my favourite. It's easy to make, and not far off from a focaccia – light, fluffy and ideal for a summer lunch in the garden. The topping is elevated by using quality ingredients from the Tesco Finest range. For me, that includes tender marinated violetta artichokes, creamy mozzarella di bufala and exotic mixed mushrooms, including shiitake, oyster and other varieties for a rich flavour and texture. Prep 30 min (plus 2 hr 45 min proving time) Cook 50 min Serves 6 For the topping 2 tbsp Tesco Finest Sicilian extra virgin olive oil, plus a little extra to drizzle 450g Tesco Finest exotic mixed mushrooms, larger mushrooms halved 2 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced 2 tbsp fresh thyme 140g Tesco Finest Italian violetta artichokes, halved 2 balls Tesco Finest mozzarella di bufala Campana, drained and torn 70g mascarpone 20g Tesco Finest parmigiano reggiano, grated (optional) For the base 500g Tesco Finest '00' grade pasta and pizza flour 1 sachet fast action yeast 1 tsp salt 1 tsp sugar 4 tbsp Tesco Finest Sicilian extra virgin olive oil 350ml tepid water To servePeppery salad leaves Suggested wine pairingTesco Finest Central Otago pinot noir Tip the flour into a large mixing bowl. Add the yeast, salt and sugar, and mix together. Make a well in the centre for the oil and water. Mix until you have a dough then knead in a stand mixer for 5 minutes, or knead by hand on a well-floured surface for 7 minutes. Form the dough into a ball and place in an oiled bowl, cover and set aside at room temperature for about 2 hours or until doubled in size. Oil a large lipped baking tray and line with baking paper. Roll out the dough and fit snugly into the tray. Leave to rise again in a warm place for 30 minutes. To create a 'pizza stone', place a second baking tray, overturned, on the top shelf of the oven and put the heat on to full power. Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large pan. Batch fry the mushrooms over a medium heat for 7-10 minutes, or until they start to brown. Add the garlic, 1 tbsp of thyme and cook for 3 minutes. Set aside to cool. Mix the mascarpone in a bowl with a little salt. Drizzle a little extra oil on to the dough and dimple all over with your hands. Top with the mushrooms, mozzarella, artichokes, dollops of mascarpone, the remaining thyme and the parmesan, if using. Rest for 15 minutes. Place the tray containing the dough on top of the 'pizza stone' in the oven and turn down to 200C (180C fan)/390F/gas 6. Bake for 40 minutes until golden and risen.

Inter Miami invades Gillette Stadium Wednesday. Will Mighty Messi face the Revolution?
Not that some packed down artificial turf should discourage Messi, who has played in 25 of Miami's 29 games (going 90-plus minutes in all but two), along with two appearances for Argentina in World Cup qualifiers. But coach Javier Mascherano's ability to manage playing time is being tested, as Miami (9-3-5, 32 points) stands in sixth place in the Eastern Conference. Last season, Miami set a regular-season points record (74), snapping the Revolution's mark with a 6-2 victory over New England in the final game of the regular season. But Messi missed 15 games due to physical problems, and Miami fell short in the playoffs, plus the Champions Cup and Leagues Cup, as coach Tata Martino departed. So far, Mascherano's team has followed a similar script, a 4-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup on June 29 exposing vulnerabilities. Advertisement 'Clearly, we have a lot of games coming up, plus all the ones we have already played, so we will need everyone to participate,' Mascherano said Saturday. 'We'll see how we can manage some roster changes without feeling it too much because I don't like to change six or seven players from one match to the other. 'Our motivation now is to compete in our league, and to achieve something this club has been aiming for year after year. We want to get as far as we can, qualify for the playoffs, be in position to have home-field advantage, and from there we'll see what happens at the end of October.' The focus for Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano is now looking to improve his club's standing in the Eastern Conferce. CHARLY TRIBALLEAU/AFP via Getty Images For the Revolution (6-7-6, 24 points) — outscored, 10-3, by Miami in two games last year — this match could provide a gauge of their improvement. In both games last year, the Revolution collapsed after strong starts: Tomas Chancalay opened the scoring in the first minute of Since then, the Revolution have lost by more than one goal only once, but they have been limited by injuries and a lack of forward production. Captain Carles Gil and striker Leo Campana, acquired from Inter Miami, have not combined over 90 minutes in successive games since opening the season. Campana, recovering from a hamstring injury, went the distance Advertisement 'We had a golden chance; we need to score those,' Revolution coach Caleb Porter said. 'I'm confident we will.' Related : Porter placed much of his goal-scoring faith in Campana, an Ecuador national team member who totaled 28 goals in three seasons with Miami — including a hat trick in a 3-2 win over the Revolution in 2022. But injuries have limited Campana, along with Chancalay (groin), and Ignatius Ganago (quadriceps). Gil (seven goals) leads the Revolution in scoring, equaling the total of forwards Campana, Chancalay, and Maxi Urruti (two each), and Ganago (one). As for Messi, this could be his third Gillette appearance, following 4-1 victories: last year, when he converted twice for Miami (65,612 attendance); and in 2016, when he scored once on an imported grass field for Argentina against Venezuela (59,183). 'We have to understand that Leo is happy playing soccer and whenever he is fit to play, he will play, because he is happiest on the field,' Mascherano said. Frank Dell'Apa can be reached at

Revolution's latest loss exposed their desperate need for a finisher, a hole they won't easily fill
There is a chance the situation could improve should Campana (hamstring) return for the June 25 home date against Nashville but he has missed seven games and departed in the first half of two others, raising questions about durability. Meanwhile, the team's other starting forward, Ignatius Ganago, will be That leaves Tomás Chancalay and Maxi Urruti up front. Both are proven to be effective alongside a physical striker or off the bench, but the Revolution are missing the combination of aerial threat, back-to-goal presence, and opportunism of, say, Cincinnati's Kévin Denkey and Kei Kamara, who displayed their effectiveness Saturday as Denkey converted after Kamara's holdup play ignited a counterattack. Advertisement Kévin Denkey puts it away to give 📺 — Major League Soccer (@MLS) Denkey has 11 goals this season. Kamara has 146 in his MLS career, including 19 during a two-year stint with the Revolution. Advertisement After the match, coach Caleb Porter noted the Revolution needed a 10-goal 'minimum' striker and talked about 'find[ing] that guy, whether it's here or somewhere else.' Unfortunately, they have not been able to uncover a double-figure forward since 2021, when Adam Buksa (16) and Gustavo Bou (15) helped the team set a league record for points. The Revolution lost Buksa via a transfer to Europe, and Bou declined due to injury. (He was replaced by Chancalay, who underwent knee surgery last year.) Placing scoring hopes on Campana was a gamble, though he appeared ready to break out after filling a reserve role with Inter Miami. He was one of only two forwards which have achieved double-figure goals in an MLS season, his 11 in 2022 going with Urruti's 12 in 2017 and 10 in 2014. Against Cincinnati (10-5-3, 33 points), second place in the Eastern Conference, the Revolution attacked effectively on the flanks, but without a prominent target crosses were easily stopped by a back line led by Matt Miazga. Yes, they might have been able to finish off a low cross (as Cincinnati did), but crossing effectiveness depends on a combination of factors. Aerial ability is, obviously, primary. Luis Diaz was used as a starter and on the attack on Saturday due to Caleb Porter's options being severely limited. David Silverman/New England Revolution The Revolution also had chances to break through via set pieces — they earned eight corners and 13 free kicks — but mostly were unable to get off effective shots. Plus, Luis Diaz got a 52nd-minute breakaway, but could not pull the trigger. The Revolution need to adjust their mindset at Gillette Stadium, as opposing teams' tactics become based on physicality and counterattacking. While the Revolution were threatening early in the second half, Cincinnati focused on stopping sequences before they could get started. Advertisement Seconds after Diaz's breakaway, Luca Orellano was cautioned, and Pavel Bucha committed a hard foul on Carles Gil. The play could be described as negative, but also as resourcefulness. All season, the Revolution have defended well and demonstrated a decent possession game. Near the halfway point, they rank second in the league in goals against (15), and their plus-4 goal difference is better than Cincinnati's (plus-2), indications of a team close to contending status. As Porter noted, the Revolution 'were in way more positions than they were to score, and we have to find a goal. They pull off the cross into Denkey and he finds a half chance. That's why Denkey was such a big transfer in. That's what he does.' The Revolution are close to having as complete a roster as league restrictions allow, minus a top-level striker. Weighing against them filling the gap are the team's artificial turf surface at home, its unfavorable climate, plus an uneven history of success. They do have Gil, though, among the best setup midfielders in the league and their best hope for a recruiter. Without a consistent scoring threat, ambitions will be limited, but demand for forwards outpaces supply. And it will not necessarily be easy to bring in a difference-maker without spending close to the $16.2 million Cincy paid for Denkey's transfer from Cercle Brugge.

The Shape of Memory: Humberto Campana's Dreamwork with Louis Vuitton
For more than a decade, Humberto Campana's work with Louis Vuitton has drawn on the textures of Brazilian nature and the complexity of his inner world. His latest creations continue that delicate balancing act. In celebration of Louis Vuitton's formidable history of trunk-making, interior design, and artisanal innovation, the Louis Vuitton: Savoir Rêver event, convened at the Riverfront Financial Centre in Ho Chi Minh City, was a compelling showcase of the maison's heritage and craftsmanship. For Brazilian designer Humberto Campana, whose creations were among those exhibited in the Objets Nomades collection of limited-edition furniture and décor collaborations, the showcase marked another meaningful chapter in a career shaped by deep introspection and emotional depth. Above Brazilian designer Humberto Campana: 'All these things that I create are a kind of catharsis.' Visitors to the exhibition were invited into a narrative journey tracing Louis Vuitton's evolution from its beginnings in revolutionary trunk-making to its present-day identity as a purveyor of luxury lifestyle. Archival photographs and original artefacts, such as the iconic flat-top trunk designed for seamless travel by car, train, or ship, set the stage for the immersive experience. A striking highlight was the exclusive pyramid trunk, hand-painted with an evocative depiction of Vietnam's Halong Bay—a poetic tribute to the meeting of French craftsmanship and Vietnamese heritage. Anchoring the contemporary section was the Objets Nomades collection, where visitors could engage with tactile expressions of global design, such as Humberto Campana's Cocoon chair, the plush Bomboca sofa, and the lushly layered Bulbo chair. The tour concluded with a sparkling display of Louis Vuitton's high jewellery creations, featuring patented diamond cuts such as the Star Blossom and Marquise—each piece underscoring the maison's dedication to artistry, innovation, and storytelling. The Estúdio Campana pieces presented at the event stand amongst the most distinctive works to emerge from their long-standing partnership with Louis Vuitton; the works have won broad admiration as masterpieces of innovative form and function. Even in these bright moments of recognition and success, however, Campana remains grounded by a creative impulse that reaches inward as much as outward. 'I deal with a lot of shadow,' says Campana. 'I have a big gap, a dark side in my soul. So I need to bring my best in order to heal. All these things that I create are a kind of catharsis.' Read more: Louis Vuitton brings Savoir Rêver exhibition to Vietnam for the first time It's a thread that stretches back to Campana's earliest memories. Born with the gift of exquisite sensitivity in what he describes as the hyper-macho rural village of Brotas, Humberto and his younger brother Fernando were raised in a strict Italian Catholic household—one not especially attuned to artistic expression. From a young age, the brothers were drawn to a more poetic way of seeing the world. They found joy in the vibrant hues of nature and the dreamlike beauty of cinema at the local theatre. During Sunday mass, while the padre delivered his sermons, they were often mesmerised by the shifting shapes of sunlight and colour cast onto the floor through the stained-glass windows. When free to roam beyond the town, they would delight in discovering botanical wonders, recreating the scenography of the films they loved in the blush of petals and textures of leaves. 'It was an old generation that belongs to the past,' he says. But I'm still dealing with these beginnings. That's the way that I always come back to my childhood—by creating playful pieces that are very colourful, very happy.' Above Bulbo—a chair inspired by blooming tropical flowers, creating a sitting space that is both luxurious and cosy. The Campana Brothers creations on display at Savoir Rêver (perhaps whimsically translated as 'dreamskills') are striking examples of the brothers' work to craft beautiful innovations from the natural inspiration of the Brazilian countryside. The Cocoon hanging chair is an openwork fibreglass shell lined with calfskin, evoking the protective embrace of a butterfly's chrysalis. Suspended like a nest, it invites introspection and serenity, blending organic form with meticulous craftsmanship. The Bulbo chair, unveiled in 2019, resembles a blooming tropical plume flower, its layered petals crafted from Louis Vuitton leather and fabric, offering a luxurious and intimate retreat. Meanwhile, the Bomboca sofa, named after a traditional Brazilian confection, features modular, cloud-like cushions that assemble into a playful yet functional seating arrangement, reflecting the designers' penchant for combining comfort with imaginative design. Together, these pieces exemplify the Campana brothers' ability to transform natural motifs into innovative, dreamlike furniture that harmonises with Louis Vuitton's artistry and travel-inspired design. 'All of our pieces are inspired by nature,' explains Campanas. 'I love nature. I love to plant trees. I love to make drawings about microorganisms; yes, I'm very fascinated by this world.' Above Bomboca, a sofa named after a traditional Brazilian candy, impresses with a playful, imaginative yet functional design approach. Humberto Campana's love for the natural world is part of what attracts him to Asia, a region he associates with the character of grace and gentleness that was absent from his childhood. 'I feel at home here,' he sighs. 'I left the plane and I smelled the smell of Asia. There is a tenderness. A connection with spirituality, all these elements that make me feel relaxed.' This is his third visit to Vietnam; during a previous trip he was captured by a boat ride he took along the Mekong River, where he purchased a traditional folding bamboo chair to commemorate the experience. The piece reminded him of his own work with natural fibres back home. 'I think I am much more like an alchemist,' Campana explains. 'I love to transform things. Two years ago, I worked in India to create a cabinet made out of grass and brass. I also love to work with charcoal. Now I'm creating chairs in bamboo too, piling them, creating a very complicated structure. Our work is not minimalist, it's extremely complex. Like my soul, because I still don't know who I am today. 'More and more I want to focus on this, because natural elements heal you. It's a kind of calm. There is the smell of the wood, there is the colour of the grass. It brings a nice vibe to the ambience.'

At the heart of his practice is a desire to give back to his country, to his community, and to the natural world that has inspired him since childhood. His latest ambitions include establishing a foundation in the Brazilian countryside, where design, environmental education, and poetic beauty converge. 'It's a way to regenerate nature, to create workshops, and to share our journey,' he explains. The foundation will house a small museum celebrating the Campana studio's four-decade legacy, while also offering space for crafts, contemplation, and connection. 'I don't have kids. I'm not married,' he says. 'This is what I leave behind. It's something for my community.' In that gesture, as in so much of his work, Campana moves to resolve the emotional and material threads of his life into a force that heals, uplifts, and inspires. At the same time, Campana was searching for his own sense of self-worth. 'I love the studio. I love my people working with me, and I love creating things that people can use. Maybe it's a way to be seen, to be validated. Because my work goes into people's homes, and I feel welcome. 'I'm a very shy person, I don't have so many friends. I love to be alone. For me, it's wonderful to be in silence, and that's perfect. I need silence in order to create, to deal with my devils.'

Revolution run reaches four straight shutouts, as Carles Gil, Leo Campana put away reeling Toronto
The last three of those clean sheets came away from Gillette Stadium, making for the Revolution's longest road winning streak since the Supporters' Shield season of 2021. Before this run, New England was 4-23-6 in its last 33 MLS road matches, dating to a May 2023 win at Toronto. The hungry Reds had the better of the action for much of the first 20 minutes Saturday, but another brilliant play from Gil broke through in the 11th. Matt Polster captured a lazy pass in the midfield, the ball cycling through Campana to wing back Ilay Feingold, who blitzed Toronto up the right side throughout the first half. Advertisement Keeping ahead of the pressure from Alonso Coello, he drove a right foot toward Campana in the penalty area. Toronto's Nicksoen Gomis attempted to head it away, but instead sent it into the path of Gil, who redirected it into the top corner of the net from the edge of the penalty area. Advertisement Carles Gil gives A beautiful cushioned volley! 📺 — Major League Soccer (@MLS) It was Gil's fifth goal of the season, all in the last six matches. Campana doubled the lead in the 27th minute, a quick New England counterattack catching Toronto with just two men at the back. Alhassan Yusuf, with space in the middle of the field, fed out wide to Campana, who took two touches and fired across and under Toronto goalie Sean Johnson into the side netting. Leo Campana with the cushion 👊 — New England Revolution (@NERevolution) Johnson was all that kept the Revolution from a truly lopsided win, denying Gil from close range on a 32nd-minute rebound and Ignatius Ganago in first-half stoppage time, following a superb pass from Gil and deft ballhandling from Feingold. The Israeli had arguably New England's best chance to add on after halftime, Campana and Gil feeding left to right, only for Johnson to deny again. The second, however, was about keeping Toronto at bay. The hosts looked much like the early season Revolution as they cycled the ball around outside the penalty area, but were unable to create many dangerous chances. New England plays twice next week, beginning with a round-of-32 match in the US Open Cup. Following that Wednesday night visit to Rhode Island FC — which opened its Centerville Bank Stadium in Pawtucket on Saturday afternoon with a scoreless draw in the USL Championship — the Revolution visit Orlando City on Saturday night.
