WINE&DINE - December 2017

In this issue

Christmas is our favourite season of the year, a time when we give ourselves a few moments to count our blessings and look forward to a brand new year. It’s also when we pull out all the stops and party. We’ve got you covered in that department with our #FestiveIssue. It’s rich with feasting and gifting ideas, stories about what Christmas feasts are made of around the world (not just Turkey!), non-vintage champagnes and champagne cocktails, nine hometown festive recipes from top chefs in Singapore, and a list of online specialist grocers that will help you bring something special to the table this year. Most of all, don’t miss our special report on Sussex sparkling wine producers who are making a name for English wines.

Other tidbits to check out: Our interviews with Singapore’s latest Bocuse d’Or hopeful, chef Noel Ng, and Shigeyuki Kusunoki, director of Kusunoki Winery in Nagano, Japan; a sea sojourn through Japan’s coastal cities; and new restaurant openings and menus from Adrift, Bayswater Kitchen, Nude Grill and more.

WINE&DINE Magazine Description:

THE LIVING LEGACY

Wine & Dine’s credible editorial has been the cornerstone of making the publication the definitive magazine for gourmands for the past 32 years.

In its latest reiteration, the magazine is a bi-monthly amalgamation of well-researched, long-form articles on food culture and how what we eat continues to shape the world we know.

Each issue takes on a universal theme that is a reflection of the current climate of the F&B industry and beyond, and includes interviews with the chefs and vintners you should be keeping an eye out for.

It's published alongside the magazine's website—www.wnd.sg—where you'll find the latest news from the region and abroad.

Being a gourmand means we appreciate good food no matter where it comes from; expect to see Michelin-starred restaurants of international acclaim featured alongside veterans of traditional food and a new generation of chefs dabbling in experimental, genre-defying cuisine.
