If you’re a foodie, you likely have a visit to a Michelin Star restaurant on your bucket list. However, many of them are prohibitively expensive for most of us. Since its launch 124 years ago in France, the Michelin Guide has remained the world’s most prestigious restaurant rating system. As of 2024, it features more than 3,500 restaurants in over 40 countries and territories worldwide. New research from international food magazine Chef’s Pencil shows that a visit to one of these special eateries does not come cheap, with a median price tag of €167 - not including drinks, extra charges or tips...

Foie gras. Steak tartare. Beef bourguignon. Blanquette de veau. Frogs' legs. Snails. Let's be real, France isn't particularly renowned for its vegan-friendly cuisine. In fact, the French consume twice as much meat as the global average, boasting the highest beef and veal consumption per inhabitant. But the organisers of the Paris Olympics are looking to flip the script. They're introducing an unprecedented offering of vegetarian cuisine, surpassing anything seen in previous Games. The aim is to show that France is now more about 'leaf' than 'beef'. It's been announced that 60% of the food serv...

The French baguette. A national treasure. Nothing beats it, or that nostril-tingling warm waft of freshly baked bread as you enter a boulangerie. It’s less a baked good and more a way of life, a symbol of the French art of living. And now, the verdict has dropped, as the French capital has awarded 2024’s best baguette. Yes, that’s a thing. Every year for the past 31 years, the Syndicat des Boulangers-Pâtissiers du Grand Paris has brought together all the capital's artisan bakers to determine the city's best baguette. The Best Parisian Baguette competition is designed to assess traditional bagu...

Germany's most eaten street food the Turkish döner kebab is now seeking protection within the EU’s special protection label alongside other European favourites such as Neapolitan pizza and Spanish jamon serrano. The term döner comes from the verb ‘dönmek’ (‘turning’ in English) but most Europeans know it simply as döner kebab – with the addition of the name used in the Arabic word for all kinds of meat cooked in front of a fire. Türkiye wants to register the name döner in Europe so that it can be used only by those producers conforming to the registered production method and product specificat...

In the airy, high-ceilinged dining room of Beit Johkdar Hotel, Jeddah, breakfast is being served. It begins with a basket of warm bread - sesame seed encrusted, cardamon infused and traditional flatbread - with herby butter and black honey. Next come the entreés, spicy olive tapenade, grilled halloumi with apricot jam, fried vegetables and a mini loaf of feta-marbled bread. This is followed by homemade falafel with tahini dipping sauce, spiced hummus, foul mudammas beans and shakshuka. By the time the tiny pancakes, banana bread and fresh fruit arrive, I’ve long admitted defeat. I soon learn t...

From your mirepoix to your mise en place; from the Michelin Guide to the five mother sauces: French cuisine has long been held as the pinnacle of gastronomy. Some consider France to be home to the best food on the planet. For centuries, aspiring chefs from around the world have flocked to its cooking schools like Le Cordon Bleu in Paris to be trained to the high standards of French gastronomy. But now facing growing competition and criticism of having tired, unimaginative menus, President Emmanuel Macron’s government wants to send the country's chefs abroad to learn from the rest of the world....

The first-ever Time Out Market opened in Lisbon in 2014.

Olive oil is slipping through Spanish retailers’ hands. The kitchen staple has been nicknamed “liquid gold” as it has become the most stolen product from Spanish supermarkets.

Olive oil fraudsters have sown the wind, and are reaping the whirlwindPrice of olive oil climbs more than 50% in a year in the EUSpain is the biggest producer o...

To us, croissants are perfect. Crisp, flakey layers of warm buttery goodness - maybe with a little dark chocolate, like Meryl Streep makes them in the movie It's Complicated. To brazen bakers hoping to appeal to the social media masses, however, croissants have become a canvas for increasingly crazed combinations. From the Cronut (croissant x doughnut) to the cruffin (croissant x muffin), this quintessentially French breakfast treat has kickstarted nearly every hybrid foodie trend over the past decade. Its latest frankensteined form? Le crookie, an Americanised twist via soft, smudgy chocolate...
