If you’re one of those people who plan New Year’s before they plan Christmas, then we have a great story for you. Why not be inspired by the Asian New Year this year. It’s the year of the tiger. We’ve got beautiful table settings, great recipes and a little history too.
Another thing to enjoy this festive summer season is gelato. We go to Anytime Trattoria to find out the ins and outs of making this style of ice cream.
And while we’re learning new things, so is Margot Janse. In this issue she learns from Neil Jewell of Bread & Wine, master of charcuterie. She makes bacon, sausage and other delicious jewels.
We’ve got lots more on offer, from a sausage recipe, a travel adventure to Egypt toa story about how to track the elusive African wild dog and a photo essay of the People of Vietnam.
