Punctual Picks #21

A twenty-first Punctual Picks with its share of discoveries.

The Farm Table ; Julius Roberts

Farmer and chef, Julius Roberts shares his experience of farm life through simple, authentic, seasonal cooking. In The Farm Table, he highlights fresh ingredients to create family dishes. Lamb stew with pearl barley or roast squash with mozzarella sit alongside refined desserts. Elderflower panna cotta and poached plums with mint yoghurt are fine examples. Produce from the land is at the heart of his culinary approach.

Loveramics

I discovered the Loveramics brand at Ça Passe Crème (in French) and was immediately won over by its creations. Founded in Hong Kong, this international brand is known for its high-quality ceramics, between artisanal know-how and modern design. It has made its mark in the coffee world with collections of cups, bowls and accessories designed to enhance tasting. Sustainable materials and eco-friendly techniques give rise to products that are both beautiful and durable. Their clean design, often inspired by contemporary Asia, appeals to coffee and tea lovers seeking elegance. I can’t wait to discover their Paris address to explore their world even further.

Coup de Fourchette ; Nathalie Helal

Always curious to discover tasty anecdotes about the culinary world, I came across Nathalie Helal’s radio segment. In Coup de fourchette, she offers a true culinary exploration, between history, culture and practical tips. Each day, she tackles a different theme. A pleasant moment that offers a new perspective on cooking while enriching my food culture.

Emily in Paris ; Mapstr

Emily in Paris is a series that divides opinion. Some love it for its glamorous aesthetic, trendy looks and dreamy atmosphere. Others criticise it for its clichés about French culture. Even so, the series offers a lovely visual escape through the streets of Paris. The Mapstr app had the brilliant idea of creating a map of the series’ iconic places. Fans can thus set off on an adventure in Paris, between culture, gastronomy and cinema. A fun way to rediscover the French capital in Emily’s footsteps.

The Hannah Swensen Mysteries

I really am hooked on cosy mysteries! These novels wrap me in a comforting atmosphere. My latest favourite? The Hannah Swensen Mysteries, by Joanne Fluke. This perfect blend of mystery and sweetness keeps me on the edge of my seat. Not to mention the brilliant idea of including recipes in the stories. This original concept adds a gourmet touch to each investigation. Pure literary bliss, between suspense and culinary delights!
