Swiss spectacle: Fête des Vignerons
We clink glasses with winemakers at a once-in-a-generation festival in the otherwise tame town of Vevey. Fête des Vignerons is a parade of Swiss viticulture wisdom complete with cows, costumes and carousing.
Open house
A Tokyo community centre with food at its heart is helping to nourish the whole neighbourhood.
Food & drink
A sharp chopping bowl and restaurants from London to Hong Kong (via Izmir).
Packing a punch
From Sanskrit roots to Swedish *bål*, punch is a drink built for sharing rather than spectacle. These recipes celebrate a centuries-old tradition that spans continents — and demands you relinquish control of the ladle.
The secret to baking bread
The baguette is fighting back with artisanal valour. Meet Paris baker Christophe Vasseur: he runs successful corner shop Du Pain et des Idées and knows how to make the perfect loaf.
Japanese food trucks
These design-forward restaurants on wheels are more than just lunch-hour catering for Tokyo’s busy workers. We visit a technology start-up and the talented chefs that are putting the ‘kitchen-car’ scene into gear.
Right track
Train station fare is often rushed and unreliable. Not so at this golden-age stop-off at Gare de Lyon.
Eero Aarnio
Over a beer and steak in an 18th-century coffee house, the celebrated Finnish chairdesigner takes a seat to talk sunsets, saunas and smoking his own salmon.
Food & drink
New openings from Lima to London, plus a few saucy table-toppers and something for your bookshelf.
Get in gear
Once viewed with disdain in Tokyo, food trucks are now transforming disused parts of the city thanks to a canny new firm.
