Clocking in

Hello,

Bonafide British national treasure Gordon Ramsay graces the cover of our newly launched Tatler Macau April issue. We spoke to the celebrity chef at Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill in The Londoner Macao, where he laid bare his thoughts on balancing family, fame, a multimillion-dollar restaurant business and more. Read all about it here.

Also this week, we uncover the story of how a late chef's cookbooks influence his son's culinary career to this day, speak to Japan's biggest cooking influencer on motherhood and entrepreneurship, and delve into the world of sustainable Korean cocktails.
