Buckwheat crepes are one of those rare items that are both practical to make and feel like a flex. Tell another parent that you make crepes for your kids on school days (morning or night!) and just watch the confusion rise behind their eyes. It sounds fancy, but in practice, crepes really do make sense for the busy parent who loves to cook. You don’t need a special pan to make crepes—any nonstick pan will do; and each pancake cooks in barely a couple minutes. No need to make the batter ahead of time either: Just a 5-minute rest allows…

I’m fascinated by the North African influence on Spanish cuisine. Take this traditional flourless almond cake, or Tarta de Santiago, which was a by-product of increased almond cultivation and culinary traditions during Spain’s Moorish era. The dense cake is perfectly suited for a relaxed breakfast, morning coffee break, or afternoon tea. This seasonal version includes chopped pears, though apples (or no fruit) work just as well. After the cake has cooled, I like to rest it in the fridge; then bring it back to room temperature for a soft and fluffy texture.The oldest recorded recipe for Tarta de Santiago dates…

“Bees are chaotic but perfectly organised”I came into beekeeping through a Christmas present – about 10 years ago, my girlfriend at the time signed me up for a course, and I was hooked almost immediately. There’s something pretty special about bees – they’re chaotic, but still perfectly organised at the same time.Four years ago, I founded Band Of Bees after noticing that more workplaces wanted to host hives, but didn’t have the time or knowledge to look after them. Now, Band Of Bees installs hives on rooftops, balconies, courtyards and green spaces – including at Leeds Dock, where 40,000 bees…

We recently published our 13th annual Good Food Nation Survey, drawing on a YouGov poll of 2,000 UK adults. We discovered 34% of you plan meals a few days in advance to save money, reduce food waste and stay organised, and that got us thinking about the different ways we tackle the challenge of getting dinner on the table. We all know that organising the weekly shop and doing the daily cooking routine is a feat of mental dexterity, and some of you are overwhelmed by it.That said, 87% of you enjoy cooking, yet 70% feel uninspired by your main…

There’s a lot to be said for the humble sandwich; it can serve as a simple snack or dressed up and elevated to become a full meal. But there’s something about the combination of hot metal plates and bread that takes sandwich making to the next level, and this is where sandwich toasters and toastie makers come in.These versatile bits of kit aren’t just reserved for toasting sandwiches; many come with different plates for different tasks. Some have waffle plates, others have flat plates and grill plates for toasted sandwiches, some even open up flat for table-top grilling.I tested a…

MolitorWhile many Paris hotels struggle to squeeze a modest swimming pool into the basement, the Molitor – part of the MGallery Collection – is literally built around one. Opened in 1929, this landmark Art Deco leisure complex was once the place for stylish Parisians to cool off during the summer months, with its bright yellow-and-blue changing cabins as famous as the celeb swimmers. After falling into disrepair and closing in the late 1980s, the complex lay abandoned for more than two decades before being restored and reborn in 2014 as a hotel with 124 rooms overlooking the revived 46-metre outdoor…
