Many would agree that there's only two seasons in Southeast Asia - hot and humid, and hot and rainy. To beat heat, epicure's latest JunJul issue will show you how to cool down, #stayhome and chill, literally. Celebrate the season with our cover story on Cuca and entertaining feature on Rumari – two restaurants in Bali for menus that celebrate tropical flavours and local ingredients. As for refreshing tipples, explore the world of English sparkling wine in Vine Expectations while raising your glass to rosé. Summer has always been associated with growth and freedom, which is why we talked to rising stars, chefs Sun Kim of Meta and DeAille Tam of Obscura on their achievements and plans for the future. Many of us have been encouraged to stay home, which is the perfect time to explore healthier cooking methods, and discover sustainable options for our groceries. While we wait for restrictions to be lifted, consider the many businesses we can support – our round-up of newly opened and revamped omakase restaurants is a way to start. Enjoy the read!
