» L’Angélique (Versailles, France)

Recently awarded a first Michelin star, L’Angélique has a loyal clientele thanks to their unbeatable € 38 fixed-price menu (lunch and dinner) featuring contemporary, refined cuisine.

PORTRAITS OF CHEFS

• » Chef Michael Caines: with Michelin starred Gidleigh Park, Bath Priory and four ABode hotel restaurants to his name, West Country chef Michael Caines MBE has certainly made his mark.

WINES AND VINEYARDS

• » The vineyards of the Balagne (Corsica): with its granite slopes falling sharply to the sea, its villages lost in the mountains and its charismatic winegrowers, the vineyards of the Balagne are little known gems that one should take time to explore.

PRODUCT TASTINGS

• » Sticky toffee pudding: the history of sticky toffee pudding is, well, a sticky matter. It's now so common on British dessert menus, as common as banoffee pie and crème brûlée, that it's hard to believe that it's a fairly recent creation.
