Double Chocolate Salted Tahini Skillet Brownie Cookie

The addition of tahini to a brownie is the perfect match. The nuttiness, chocolate and then the salt really is a showpiece.

De Andres Sisters Alegra Joven

Tinta de Toro from Soria, the highest part of Ribera, characterised by its heavily calcareous soils. The combination of chalk and altitude results in a steady ripening and super-fine tannins – and that’s the style that Ruth and Ana are striving for; purity, elegance and approachability rather than the more intense, bombastic style often found elsewhere in Ribera.

Prosecco Rosé Brut


Prosecco Rosé Brut

Prosecco Rosè Doc Treviso is produced from the remaining 24 hectares in “Grave di Papadopoli”, an island formed by the river Piave, where an ideal soil enhances the main attributes of Prosecco: scent, freshness and balanced taste. Prosecco in its Rosè version, where the freshness and aroma of Prosecco meet the elegance of Pinot Noir.

Rachel Louise Snyder

Journalist, author, domestic violence advocate

In works of “uncommon talent and confidence” (Masha GessenThe New Yorker), author and investigative journalist Rachel Louise Snyder explores the causes and consequences of under-reported social crises. Her work demands that we see the reality of domestic violence, global consumerism, race and class prejudice, and other often overlooked aspects of our world.

Snyder’s latest book is No Visible Bruises: What We Don’t Know About Domestic Violence Can Kill Us, about which critic Parul Sehgal drew comparisons to Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring in its literary indelibility: “I read Snyder’s book as if possessed, stopping for nothing, feeling the pulse beat in my brain.” A compelling work of investigative journalism with the narrative force of a novel, No Visible Bruises reveals that one of America’s most urgent social problems takes place behind closed doors, and that the most dangerous place for a woman, statistically, is her own home. Whether we call it domestic violence, private violence, or intimate terrorism, it has a far more pervasive impact on our society than many realize. Between 2000 and 2006, about 3,200 Americans were killed in combat. In that time, more than three times as many women were killed by their partners.
