The US island that nearly ignited a war
Crisscrossed by pastoral fields and dotted with handsome wooden barns, San Juan Island – the second largest of the San Juan Islands in north-western Washington state – is a quiet, unhurried place. Orca whales breach in the surrounding waters and the southern shore of Canada's Vancouver Island glimmers less than seven miles to the west. It's hard to believe that in this isolated corner of the US, in 1859, the British and the Americans nearly went to war over a dead pig.

A gourmet revival of Sierra Leone's bold flavours
Cooking, as well as intergenerational storytelling, is a deeply rooted part of Sierra Leone's rich heritage. Preparing food and sharing family recipes forges a connection to ancestors, friends and community. But it's something that's usually only celebrated at home, with loved ones. If you don't have a generous auntie to cook you a spicy krain-krain (leaf stew) with smoked fish or foofoo (sticky dough made from fermented, pounded cassava), then good luck trying to get a taste of this intriguing cuisine.
