Bread winners
It is integral to French identity but sales of bread are falling and eating habits are changing. We meet the flour-flecked folk offering crumbs of comfort with an artisanal approach.
Drawing conclusions
Illustrator Jacques de Loustal sketches out the dangers of meeting your heroes over lunch and explains why France is in a league of its own when it comes to cartoons.
Captive audience
Bruce Davidson, the Magnum photographer whose healthy curiosity led him to capture the civil-rights movement in the US, reveals his favourite French joint.
Food & drink
We visit a jamón joint in Madrid, Norwegian café-cum-hotel in Tokyo and Parisian grocer par excellence.
With relish
We care more than ever about the provenance of our food but a new batch of saucy entrepreneurs are creating healthier alternatives to everything from hot sauce to ketchup. Hungry for more?
Net worth
A scallop farmer on the far-flung Isle of Skye shows that healthy profits and a happy ecosystem can coexist.
Off the beaten track
Seaweed farming in Patagonia, cave-dwelling in Italy and preserving ancient buildings in Japan: these hoteliers are reviving once-forgotten corners of their native lands with tasteful tourism for travellers seeking authenticity.
Taste of success
Ever thought of starting a food-focused business? We seek counsel from the lawyers, marketeers and managers turned tea vendors, grocers and restaurateurs who are finding fresh ways to uphold culinary traditions.
The happiness formula
We often ask if people are ‘ok’. But since when was being ok good enough? This isn't about scraping by: it’s about celebrating elements of life that surpass the ordinary.
