Michelin star problems: Is the holy grail of restaurants more trouble than it's worth? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Arguably the rot set in some 25 years ago, when rockstar chef Marco Pierre White claimed that he was ‘giving back’ his three Michelin stars. White said he was over Michelin; that the acclaimed restaurant ranking guide had lost touch with reality and wasn’t consistent in its somewhat cryptic judgements. And he was only the first, too: over the years since a spate of high profile chefs have effectively renounced Michelin — even if, technically, stars are awarded not to an individual chef but to a
Slow down and write: Rediscovering the analogue joy of fancy fountain pens (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s said that in every German embassy there is kept a big fat Mont Blanc Meisterstuck 149 fountain pen, expressly for the signing of treaties, trade agreements and other Important Documents.

Read excerpt
Get a firm grip on your lattes: The price of a cup of coffee could reach £40. “Yes, people are willing to pay that for a coffee now,” says Peter Dore-Smith, of Fitzrovia’s Kaffeine, which he founded back in 2009, making him one of the pioneers in London’s independent coffee scene. “Of course, a price like that is down to the coffee and the expertise and time of the barista who has to make the drink. It’s not like a sommelier recommending a great wine and then just opening the bottle. But demand
The hidden cost of time: The eye-watering servicing charges mechanical watch makers would rather you didn't know about (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you want to make a bet with yourself, or with someone else about to buy a mechanical watch, make this one: that the sales assistant will not mention that, in addition to the price you pay for the watch, you’re also committing to spending several hundreds of pounds every few years just to keep the thing going.
