Named for the colourless nature of foods like pastas and tarts, cucina bianca is a pastoral cuisine that has fallen out of favour. However, one chef is breathing life back into it.

Pick a James Bond title and chances are you’ll find a yacht of the same name: There’s a Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever, The World is Not Enough, Octopussy, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and more.

It hasn’t been the white Christmas many of Europe’s ski resorts were hoping for.
Despite a snowy start to the season, a winter heat wave across the continent coupled with heavy rain has seen ski runs and lifts closed just weeks after they opened.
