REVIVING A CLASSIC
THE AGA FEELS SUCH A STAPLE of the British country kitchen that it's something of a surprise to learn that it was invented by a Swede, Gustaf Dalén. More astonishing is the fact that the iconic range cooker wasn't even his crowning achievement: Dalén, known for his infectious optimism and inquisitive nature, was a Nobel Prize-winning physicist and all-round genius.
Born in 1869, he spent his formative years on the family farm in southern Sweden, showing an early knack for coming up with ways to streamline everyday agricultural processes. His focus wasn't entirely on farming, though. At the age of 13, he combined a wall clock with sandpaper, a wheel mechanism and a match to light a gas lamp which in turn heated a coffee kettle. This forerunner of the teamaker got to work 15 minutes before it was time to rise, so the teenager could wake up to light and a hot drink. Very clever.

TASTEMAKER EMILIO GIOVANAZZI
The first time Emilio Giovanazzi was asked to create a cocktail list, he was working in Paperinos, the beloved but now-closed Italian restaurant in Glasgow that belonged to his uncle. “It was a great place, and it would consistently win awards for its wine list,” he recalls. As the city’s eating habits evolved, they needed to think of a way to attract a younger crowd. Emilio's dad (who owned La Parmigiana restaurant), figured cocktails was the answer. “He went to a charity shop and picked up the first cocktail book he could find,” says Emilio. “And it happened to be The Savoy Cocktail Book.”
