Russell Norman “This month’s recipe is a cult classic,” says our Accidental Cook. “A dish that gets knowing looks and wise nods from aficionados and gourmands. Deceptively simple with only three key ingredients, the secret to cacio e pepe is speed and heat. It’s my favourite pasta dish.” The man behind the Polpo group, Norman has written two award-winning books: Polpo: a Venetian Cookbook (of Sorts) and Spuntino: Comfort Food (New York Style). David Thomson The doyen of film writers and author of The New Biographical Dictionary of Film, this month Thomson examines how and why we like to be scared at the movies. “Fear has come back,” he says, “in so many ways that go beyond the idea that scary films are ‘fun!’ Where once we had desire to…

DEM BONES, DEM BONES, DEM… DRY BONES… Now hear the word of the Lord! Who, in this particular instance is me, for my subject for this month’s body talk is precisely that, or those, or possibly dem bones: the skeleton, the scaffolding thrust up inside the meaty puppet we put on show — and arguably the very core of our physical being. After all, hearts and lungs and livers and kidneys and penises can nowadays be pretty much obtained pretá-porter, but your bones are utterly bespoke and pretty much irreplaceable — while without them, you’d just be a person-puddle on the filthy floor of the last chance saloon. As to the dryness or otherwise of dem bones, in my own case I have a particular cause for concern — to…

ESQUIRE APPROVES Carrera Heuer 02 Tourbillon Black Phantom Limited Edition, £16,150, by Tag Heuer tagheuer.co.uk In high watchmaking, a tourbillon is a device to negate the negative effects of gravity on a watch movement by housing the escapement and balance wheel (two rather important components) in an oscillating cage. Historically, only watches in the £40k and above category would ever be fitted with a tourbillon, so complex is the engineering. Until now. This year, Tag Heuer released the latest addition to its Carrera Heuer series, the blackon-black (on black) Carrera Heuer 02. A COSC-certified automatic chronograph, this beast of a watch has a width of 45mm, features an intimidating black skeleton dial and is fitted with a titanium and carbon flying tourbillon. The sporty strap is black alligator leather sewn…

Bugatti is a name synonymous with luxury, exquisite design and unparalleled engineering, but that no longer refers to its automotive output alone. In 2014, it unveiled a super-high-end collection of tailoring, ready-to-wear pieces and accessories, and has gradually evolved its sartorial offering every season since. Now, Bugatti has joined forces with one of the most established names in the industry — Giorgio Armani. The Giorgio Armani for Bugatti capsule collection represents the pinnacle of both houses’ craftsmanship. The briefcase you see here, for example, is in green calf skin, lined with suede and made by hand, while the blousons and overcoats in the collection are cut from double-faced cashmere, and denim jeans are in the softest of flock finishes. If you’re looking for luxury, you’ve arrived. armani.com Giorgio Armani says:…

It’s often said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results — and this rings true when it comes to your workout. The human body is a master adapter that quickly grows accustomed to doing the same old moves every time you hit the gym, which is why your gains often plateau. To get you out of this rut, I’ve identified five exercises you’re probably doing right now, and five new ones you can substitute in their place. Out: the flat bench press In: handlebar press-ups Despite being one of the most underused pieces of gym equipment, the press-up bar can quickly become your best friend, thanks to the handlebar press-up. With your feet on a step, perform deep press-ups, aiming…

ESQUIRE APPROVES Acqua di Parma Colonia Quercia, £215/180ml, available at Selfridges There aren’t too many things Italians excel at more than making clothes. Except for shoes. And maybe carbohydrates. And, we have to say, definitely fragrances. A case in point is the new delivery from Italian scent house Acqua di Parma. A summer-ready scent perfect for balmy nights, Colonia Quercia is the most sophisticated summer scent we’ve discovered in a long while. Grounded with the bright citrus notes of Acqua di Parma’s classic Colonia (bergamot, lemon and pink pepper — so far so summery), Quercia rapidly gives way to cardamom, cedarwood and, most interestingly, oakmoss absolute. One of the oldest notes in the fragrancemakers’ palette, oakmoss is soft and green, elegantly offsetting the scent’s more traditionally summery notes. Absolutely perfect…

Matt Damon, photographed for Esquire in Venice Beach, Los Angeles, May 2016 HE WALKS IN OFF THE STREET ALONE, no driver, no handler. He’s just a guy in Levi’s and boots and a practical black sports coat. Juice and Java is a trendy coffee shop in the Beaches district of Toronto, and there’s a smattering of late afternooners around, a few students, some mums and toddlers. He walks past them all and sits at a regular table like it’s nothing. As though beneath that grey beanie with the Guinness logo, he’s not, unmistakeably, Matt Damon, the movie star. “Isn’t this place great?” he says. “I’m staying round the corner, about a block from the lake. It’s like a proper beach community, except no one has their designated section, everyone’s on…

In May, Esquire descended on the 69th Cannes Film Festival, where the famous Palais des Festivals et des Congrès played host to many eagerly anticipated movie world premieres. We partied with Viggo Mortensen, saw Diana Ross perform live and witnessed Kate Moss steal the show on the red carpet. As the sun set on our final day, director Nicolas Winding Refn screened his new film, The Neon Demon, and invited Esquire to an exclusive after-party at Villa Schweppes, where we sipped Bulldog Gin cocktails and tore up the dance floor until dawn. All in a week’s work. With thanks to Bulldog Gin, bulldoggin.com; The Neon Demon is out on 8 July…

From £250,000 riva-yacht.com This page has long been dedicated to celebrating the very finest products available to man (and woman), at a price. By no means are all of these items light years out of reach. It is likely that if you have set your heart on a luxury wristwatch, then you will at some point have the means to buy one and the opportunity to wear it. You may already be there. Then there is the more fanciful ambition: certain editors at this magazine delude themselves that they will one day own a brand new Ferrari, or a summer house in Ravenna. Highly unlikely, of course (these are magazine journalists) but not completely beyond the bounds of possibility (one day they might get proper jobs.) Then there is the…

The only downside to owning beautiful pyjamas is that, unless you’re really putting the time in on Tinder, only a select group of intimates ever sees you wearing them. Good news, then, that this is the season the pyjama shirt is allowed out in the day, with a number of sleepyeyed designers featuring them in their collections. Defined by a boxy fit, square-cut hem and rounded camp collar (ideally with piped seams too), they are available in silk, cotton and textured voile. You could take one to bed, but we say wear them with slim cut trousers and tennis shoes. Either way, get in quick. You snooze, you lose.…

The question I get asked more than any other is: “what’s your prediction for the next big food trend?” If I’m caught unawares, I might attempt a thoughtful answer based on emerging patterns and observable shifts in the restaurant firmament, but the truth is I haven’t got a bloody clue. I am no more clairvoyant than the next idiot and, besides, I’m usually wrong anyway. Trends are often the result of zeitgeist, that curious cultural phenomenon where, inexplicably, large numbers of people have the same idea at the same time. It’s quite incredible to note, for example, how many barbecue restaurants have opened in the last 36 months. In London alone, whereas a few years ago we had three, possibly four, places specialising in the slow fusion of fire and…

As we are all aware, beer quenches the thirst in a way that water simply cannot. As temperatures (hopefully) soar, work your way through our pick of the finest new beers of the season, brewed in the UK to suit all tastes, and just waiting for those long-overdue weekend barbecues. Or a refresher after work. Or anytime, really. And get some quality snacks in, too. Esquire Approves The Harcourt, Marylebone A cosy London pub two centuries old reincarnated as a chic bar and restaurant. Delicious seasonal menus are delicately done alongside novel cocktails and a simple wine and beer list. Opt for the oak-panelled drawing rooms for privacy, or the Garden Room for balmy summer nights with friends. theharcourt.com 1 Sharp’s Sea Fury This bitter is inspired by the stormy…

Gym supplements; so many are available — all promising the world — but do you always know what you’re taking? New brands (with fresh ethics), are producing organic supplements full of high quality organic ingredients which are superior in taste, cleaner in composition and free from radicals. If your body is a temple, here’s my guide to the five best spotless supps. 1 / Pre-workout fuel Launched in 2015, UK-based Motion Nutrition offers a range of 100 per cent superfood sports supplements. Their hero product, Organic Pre-Workout Energiser, not only increases workout performance, it also aids long-term health. Composed entirely of organic superfoods, it’s ingredients — maca, beetroot, guarana, ginseng, matcha green tea and sea buckthorn — will also assist blood flow and fat utilisation. Works best if taken 30mins…

“Television, the drug of the nation/Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation”: so sang The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy in 1992. Nobody much moans about the dangers of too much telly these days — we’ve got the internet for that. Everyone loves TV! Now that we’re spoilt for exhaustive long-form drama, shot in ultra-high-definition quality, a seriously good TV set to match is a must. The latest developments include the option to extend the picture by projecting it onto your wall, millimetre-thin screens and the potential for a billion colour combinations. That old cliché about TV being the next best thing to “actually being there” has never rung truer. Just in time for the Euro 2016 final and the Olympics, too.

Bali followed a well-worn path to becoming a latter-day luxury island idyll, first attracting drop-out hippies, then surf dudes chasing the perfect wave, then a different sort of wave — this time “gap yah” backpackers — before luxury hotel brands cottoned on to the island’s extraordinary allure and the jet-setters showed up. At that point, it could have been curtains for any sense of authenticity, but mercifully Bali has managed to cater for high-calibre hedonism while retaining beauty: think picture-perfect beaches, dense jungles, rice paddies and volcanoes. Is this the Ibiza of Asia? Quite possibly. But in a good way. Tom Barber is a founder of the award-winning original-travel.co.uk Shop Head to The Temple of Enthusiasm in Canggu, the Balinese flagship store of Deus ex Machina. Some of the surfing…

1972 Burt Reynolds in Deliverance (1972) The way to discourage marauding, inbred rapists? Dress like a scubadiving porn star and expose your beefy, hirsute torso to the navel. 1977 Chewbacca in Star Wars (1977) The first screen idol to truly embrace his bodily hairiness — to be fair, he wasn’t left with much choice. Tom Selleck in Magnum, PI (1980–’88) Oversized pistol, red Ferrari, moustache denser than dark matter, swirling curls bursting from a Hawaiian shirt. Classic combo. 1989 Jerry Seinfeld in Seinfeld (1989–’98) “I did something stupid. I noticed an asymmetry in my chest hair so I tried to even it out. Next thing I knew, gone.” Heed this; see a pro. 2005 Steve Carell in The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005) From Carell, we learned you should probably just shave…

What could be more relaxing than lying on a beach? Perhaps you’re on one now. Are you enjoying it? Have you got everything you need? I suspect you haven’t. Because beach holidays aren’t what they were: they have become complex and demanding. I’d prefer to lie on a towel next to my desk at work than pack a canvas tote and head to the sea. At least when you get up for work each morning you mindlessly know what to wear, what to put in your rucksack and how to get there. You face the day ahead assured that you have reserved seating (your desk), a free supply of tap water, access to working loos and potentially a branch of Itsu no more than five minutes away. At the beach?…

01 Superga X Adriano Panatta collaboration Trainers fit for a champ Best known as the only player to defeat Björn Borg at the French Open, Italian tennis legend Adriano Panatta is also famed for winning the competition in 1976. Throughout his career, Panatta wore Supergas and now, 40 years since winning Roland-Garros, he has teamed up with the Italian brand again to create the Super Sport Panatta. Featuring a cotton upper, vulcanised rubber sole, a reinvigoration of the brand’s swallow tail logo and a custom tongue bearing Panatta’s name, the shoes are available exclusively from new sports retail website sportyhenri.com/uk. 02 Berluti + Hublot Collaboration creates special watch Parisian luxury brand Berluti is known for the beautiful hand patination of its leather shoes.

Duel (1971) Shot for US TV by Spielberg aged 25, this monster truck movie — ie, a monster movie with a lorry as the unceasing beast — was fleshed out for its cinema release. Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) His aliens-arecoming epic, sci-fi with real heart, is aging like fine wine. If you’re going to be a nerd about it, watch the Collector’s Edition version (fat trimmed; better ending). 1941 (1979) A screwball folly about an anxious Los Angeles post-Pearl Harbor is not quite the sum of its parts, but those parts include many ambitious set pieces and a fizzing John Belushi. The Color Purple (1985) The director’s first “serious” movie dealt with incest, rape and the female African-American experience, and got Oprah Winfrey a deserved Oscar acting…
