Put the kettle on and spend five minutes with Tessa Faulkner, the woman behind one of West London’s most beloved neighbourhood spots, Layla Bakery.
What began as a personal longing for an East-London-style bakery closer to home became a lockdown-born idea that grew into Layla: a place defined by craft, comfort and connection. She shares the inspirations behind her seasonal baking, the stories from her kitchen table, and the simple rituals that shape her life in and out of the bakery.

London’s sweet-pie scene is having a moment, and pumpkin pie is right at the centre of it. What used to be a niche expat craving is now something bakeries actually get excited about. We’re talking silky custards made with roasted pumpkin, gently spiced fillings that smell like autumn in a tin, and crusts so buttery they’re borderline dangerous. Some places keep it classic, others go all out with brûléed tops, brown-butter bases, rye or buckwheat crusts, maple whipped cream… it’s chaos, but in the best way. This guide rounds up the spots we keep telling friends about: Fink’s, N5 Bakery, Jolene, Quince, Esters and more.

Put the kettle on and spend five minutes with Amelia Christie-Miller (@ameliachristiemiller), the founder of Bold Bean Co (@boldbeanco), the brand turning humble beans into cult kitchen staples. Once a self-proclaimed bean sceptic, Amelia’s love affair began with a hangover and a jar of heirloom butter beans in Spain, one spoonful later, she was hooked. What started as a revelation has become a movement: showing the world that beans can be delicious, nutritious, joyful, and planet-friendly.
From building a business rooted in sustainability to collaborating with Ottolenghi and hitting Sunday Times Bestseller status with her new book Full of Beans, Amelia is proving that beans really can change the world - one creamy spoonful at a time. She talks about rewriting the rules of “tinned food”, celebrating indulgence without compromise, and how a simple jar of beans became the foundation for a more flavourful, thoughtful way of eating.

South Korea unfolds in contrasts - from the vibrant pulse of Seoul to the quiet, untamed beauty of Jeju. In the capital, sleek design meets centuries-old tradition; minimalist cafés and listening bars hum beneath neon skylines, while hanok-lined streets offer calm between the currents. Then, a short flight south, Jeju slows the tempo - volcanic landscapes, coastal air, and moments of stillness shaped by nature.
For our latest guide, we journey through these two worlds: a guide to places that celebrate craft, care, and quiet discovery. From Seoul’s independent shops and poetic teahouses to Jeju’s seaside stays and farm-to-table kitchens, this is Korea seen through a thoughtful, design-led lens - an invitation to wander, connect, and embrace both the energy and ease of place.

Put the kettle on and spend five minutes with Olivia Cavalli (@olivia_cavalli), the chef, food stylist, and writer whose debut cookbook Stagioni is a heartfelt ode to the rhythm of the seasons, and to her Italian roots. Olivia’s approach to food is steeped in instinct and tradition, inspired by her beloved Nonna who taught her that cooking is less about rules and more about feeling - “a little bit of this, a little bit of that.” Olivia shares how her heritage continues to shape her cooking, from the reverence for ingredients and seasonality to the joy of preserving family recipes. She talks about finding creativity in the ebb and flow of her multifaceted career, the comfort of a simple bowl of pasta, and the enduring legacy of her Nonna’s “Piggy” - a stuffed cabbage dish that holds generations of love in every bite.

This winter, we’re leaning into the quiet rhythm of the season - the slower mornings, the soft light, the small rituals that bring warmth. There’s beauty in retreat: a blanket pulled close, the glow of a candle, the calm of an unhurried day. Winter asks us to pause, to savour simplicity, to find comfort in the things that last. It’s a time for softness, for reflection, for living gently. Here’s everything you need to embrace the season - and do winter well!

Design isn’t only about how things look - it’s about how they make us feel. The texture of ceramics, the weight of fabrics, the play of light across a room. Design for the Senses is an exploration of atmosphere and detail: pieces that engage touch, scent, and sound to create a home that feels alive. Considered pieces, made with integrity, that invite a slower, more tactile way of living.

Design For The Senses

Put the kettle on and spend five minutes with chef Abby Lee (@abby_lee_chef), whose cooking is a love letter to her Malaysian roots and the power of food to heal. After burning out and finding herself back home during lockdown, Abby rediscovered the bold, soulful flavours of her childhood through her aunt’s kitchen and it changed everything. Now, at her London restaurant Mambow, she’s bringing that same heart and heat to the table: smoky gula melaka–laced desserts, punchy curries, and dishes that balance memory with modern flair. Abby talks about finding her voice through food, the joy of reconnecting with her heritage, and why cooking still grounds her like nothing else.

Though set on May Day, The Wicker Man (1973) has become a Halloween classic. Its horror is not cloaked in darkness, but bathed in sunlight - a slow, golden dread that seeps through fields of wildflowers and apple blossoms.
 Where other films offer shadows and monsters, The Wicker Man gives us something far more disquieting: smiling faces, ancient rituals, and the quiet certainty of sacrifice.
