The Long Weekend
Food, travel and the art of doing less. Every Friday.
Travel
The slowest way across the Baltic is also the best
A night ferry, a cabin with a window and nothing to do until Helsinki.
Craft
Inside the pottery that makes bowls for half of London's restaurants
Six people, two kilns and a waiting list that runs into next summer.
Food
Is this the best sourdough in the north?
We ate a loaf a day for a week in Leeds, Newcastle and York to find out.
The weekend recipe
Slow roasted tomatoes with garlic and thyme
- Prep 10 minutes
- Cook 2 hours
- Serves 4
The one thing worth turning the oven on for all afternoon. Eat them on toast, stir them into pasta or keep them in oil for a week.
