HOW TO MAKE IT
1. Start by filleting the red mullet and removing the pin bones. 2. In a blender, combine fine salt, brown sugar, marjoram, grated ginger, and citrus zest. 3. In a shallow dish, spread a layer of the marinade. Place the fillets on top, then cover with the remaining mixture. 4. Refrigerate for one hour. 5. After an hour, rinse the fillets under cold water and pat dry on a clean cloth. 6. Finely slice the zucchini, season with fleur de sel and Timut pepper. 7. Plate the dish by alternating thin slices of red mullet sashimi and zucchini blossoms. 8. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of citrus juice.

ZURICH PAR LE MAGAZINE LOST-IN
What if your next getaway started here? This summer, we’re letting LOST iN lead the way—one city at a time. Zurich is often seen as a city that ticks away like clockwork.
But as LOST iN reveals, there’s another side to it, a side that’s quietly experimental, deeply layered, and shaped by those who move along its edges.
Beneath the polished watch shops and postcard lake views runs a current of culture, warmth, and quiet reinvention.
This is a city of contrasts. Cobblestone charm meets brutalist blocks. Classic restaurants serve seasonal Alpine dishes, while modest canteens dish up Eritrean injera and Vietnamese phographic designers, tailors, bakers, and tattoo artists are nestled together on the quieter streets.
From District 4 to Langstrasse, voices overlap in different languages—in kitchens, bookshops, and clubs. Zurich can be both reserved and radically open, sometimes on the same street.
Here, creativity doesn’t shout. It’s built on intent. Designers embrace slowness. Chefs tell stories through ingredients. Independent publishers release books with quiet conviction. A perfume lab in a former garage. Late-night jazz in a private lounge. Much of Zurich’s beauty hides in plain sight.
Human connection here runs subtle. DJs turn the streets into dancefloors, playing funk and new wave until dawn. These are the rhythms of a city that doesn’t aim to impress at first glance—but offers something real to those who take the time.
As LOST iN shows us, Zurich isn’t a city you pass through. It’s one you settle into, even just for a moment. There’s calm, and there’s challenge. Silence, and a steady pulse of invention. And in that balance, the city reveals itself.
THE CHRONICLER'S BOOK
A well-packed suitcase includes a solid read—something bold, smart, and easy to lose yourself in.
That’s why we asked writer and critic Ramses Parent to help curate your summer reading. Expect one thoughtful pick each week, chosen to travel well.
The last thing Stefan Zweig wrote before his tragic death was a love letter—to 16th century French thinker Michel de Montaigne. This Is Montaigne is more than just a biography of his life; it’s a deep exploration of Montaigne’s thoughts, doubts, and life journey.
Written during World War II, Zweig addresses Montaigne like a close friend offering comfort and wisdom in difficult times.
This book invites you to pause, reflect, and find freedom in thought—exactly what you need this summer to slow down and think deeply.
