    Michelin star problems: Is the holy grail of restaurants more trouble than it's worth? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    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)

    Excerpt · English

    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. And, according to Patrick Yandall, director of the Omas pen company, it’s easy to understand why a disposable Bic or any ballpoint wouldn't be right for the job. “It’s like making a coffee by machine or just going out to get one - that loses all the ritual involved in making a coffee at home that we used to

    Why a £40 latte could one day become a regular reality: The creative, exclusive future of coffee culture (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    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)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt
