Story taken from the Daily Mail. But the sexism is all my own. Here is a shot of Margherita Missoni’s home, as featured in the Mail today, which proves why wise women tend to ‘give’ their man a whole room to themselves in the house.

It’s brilliant, tell all your friends (owner Steve is also very nice). Month two’s delivery was The Gourmand, ‘a food and culture journal’ that I’d heard of but never read. I […]
