– that’s the feeling we’ve tried to capture on every page of this issue. For me, long days mean escaping outside at any opportunity – if not early, when the dew is evaporating away, then in late afternoon when the light is goldenpink and the heat of the day has passed.
If you need food inspiration to go with your outdoor moments, we have two menus in this issue: one from food writer in residence Eleonora Galasso (p58), the other from the south of France (p42), where the food team shopped in markets, then conjured up recipes with the bounty they found there. Both menus are a feast for the senses, championing summer’s best, from plump tomatoes to sparkly-eyed fish and fuzzy-skinned apricots oozing with juice.
