Punctual Picks #24

A 24th Punctual Picks with its share of discoveries.

Les Collections du Chambonnet

Louise Grenadine, a blogger and content creator, is an unconditional lover of tea time, English tableware and anything blue and white. It was only natural for her to create a shop linked to this passion. It must also be said that her cupboards are not expandable! Each lot on offer is the result of meticulous research. This online shop won me over from the very first visit.

Irlande ; The Best Recipes from a Warm and Authentic Country

For the Irish chef Joseph Doverman, his country’s cuisine is an unpretentious generosity. Its flavours are rooted in the land and deeply linked to those who grow, raise and cook. This quiet dignity and sincere authenticity are his greatest source of inspiration. Between lush lands, crystal-clear waters and passionate producers, Ireland reveals a delicious and deeply human gastronomy. Published by Mango, the book brings together iconic recipes, flagship products and unforgettable encounters for a true culinary journey.

To extend the journey, the road trip in Ireland (in French) and the Downton Abbey tea time (in French) are worth discovering.

En Aparté ; Canal+

Discovered by chance, this programme won me over immediately. A personality finds themselves alone in a flat to talk with the journalist Nathalie Levy, whom they cannot see. The artist talks about their news, their life and their career. The result is an intimate experience, with an original and unique format.

Je T’offre un Rail ?

Hourrail, the collaborative media that makes low-carbon travel easier, presents “Je t’offre un rail ?”, the podcast that gets you hooked on trains. The show explores a rather peculiar but completely healthy addiction: train travel. In each episode, a guest shares their love of the railways, their favourite destinations and their wish to travel the world responsibly. Unlike other addictions, this one harms neither health nor the environment. Above all, it reveals inspiring and eco-friendly travel stories, like this episode devoted to Switzerland, a train paradise.

Les Terres d’Alice

Born on the shores of Lake Geneva, Les Terres d’Alice is an artisanal ceramics brand that celebrates gastronomy, tableware and the beauty of handmade work. After a career in hospitality, Alice chose to slow down and give new meaning to time through ceramics. In this art, patience, emotion and imperfection meet. Each piece is shaped with intention, letting the clay and the fire reveal simple shapes, natural colours and living glazes. The collections draw on moments of life and a philosophy of mindful and sustainable creation. They accompany everyday moments, like a coffee, a shared meal or a sweet moment. A sensitive bond is thus created between the earth, the fire and those who use them.
