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...

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...

The French government is reportedly examining plans to increase home economic education after a new study which claims one in five young people can't identify everyday vegetables. A survey by Harris Interactive Study called “The French and daily diet” highlights the disparities in dietary behavior between different age groups of the French population. Those aged 15 to 24, which accounts for 20%, cannot tell the difference between a zucchini (more commonly known in France as a courgette) and a cucumber. Faced with an image of a zucchini, 18% of young people thought they recognised a cucumber wh...

In order to put the current protests taking place across Europe into context, it is important to understand where it all started. The history of the current protests can be traced back to the Green Deal (2019) which involved significant alterations to achieve climate neutrality. The purpose of the deal was to decarbonise and digitalise Europe's economy. It suggested some serious alterations of policies with an objective to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. However, the policy makers failed to include what is called the second-order thinking, ie its impact on farmers. The on-going turmoil has...
