Welcome to this edition of The Olive.
I’ve been thinking a lot about travel destinations and while it’s hard to choose a favourite, I’m going to tell you about three that I reckon you should put on your list, along with recommendations of what to see and do there (not Italy for once!)
I’m also going to share with you my favourite new magic cooking ingredient - I’m yet to find anything that doesn’t taste better with the addition of this condiment. And I’ll tell you how to grow and process your own turmeric at home,
First though, Paris. Are you a right or left banker? Both sides of Paris’ Seine have their attractions, but after years of vacillating between the two, I think I’ve finally picked sides.
PARIS – RIGHT OR LEFT BANK?
On my first trip to Paris in my late 20s, a romantic weekend getaway with my then-partner, we stayed in the 6th arrondissement, between L’Odeon and Luxembourg Gardens.
