In the middle of another coronavirus-induced anxiety spiral, I watched this ad for butter. Lurpak’s campaign champions cooks as heroes, and with tantalising food shots and a witty script, it proved a welcome distraction from the chaos that ensues every time I scroll Twitter.
Who could have guessed that the brand’s message would have felt so timely: that the simple act of making and sharing food, when the world is going to shit and we might be stuck at home, can be a source of hope. So, instead of panicking, I will take Lurpak’s advice and go make someone a frittata.
