The Idle Rocks Is Cornwall’s Best-Kept Culinary Secret
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Cornwall is responsible for much of Britain’s food tourism. With a slew of super-coastal towns stretching over nearly 1,400 square miles, visitors have flocked to the county to indulge in fresh-caught fish, oysters, and more for decades. And that’s not even including the Cornish pasty. Somewhat bizarrely, however, this food-focused county has just three Michelin-starred restaurants to its name; in Padstow, Paul Ainsworth at No.6 in Padstow and in Port Isaac, Outlaw's Fish Kitchen and New Road .

Attitudes to sustainable travel have shifted for the better post-pandemic, encouraging those who might have jetted off to Europe for their fine-dining experiences to find alternatives closer to home. Myself included. In fact, if my own experience is any indication, it won’t be long before The Idle … [Read more...] about The Idle Rocks Is Cornwall’s Best-Kept Culinary Secret

Milly Alcock in “House of the Dragon” As they say, the past is never where you think you left it. But that’s exactly where the creators of HBO’s “House of the Dragon” (HOTD), the eagerly anticipated prequel of “Game of Thrones” (GoT), wish to take its viewers—a monumental task that is as exciting as it is ambitious. Long before the Starks and the Lannisters found themselves fighting tooth and nail over power, birth right and survival, it was the House Targaryen that once ruled all Seven Kingdoms on the continent of Westeros. And why not? The Targaryens are mystical people with magic in their blood, so why shouldn’t anybody with the ability to control dragons be allowed to sit on the Iron Throne at King’s Landing? Last week, we spoke to HOTD’s showrunners, writer-cocreator Ryan Condal and director Miguel Sapochnik, in a roundtable interview to discuss the 10-episode series. “House of the Dragon”, which launches on HBO Go on Aug. 22, is based on author George RR Martin’s “Fire … [Read more...] about Trouble in paradise: ‘House of the Dragon’ showrunners on the Targaryens’ generational war
