View this post on Instagram
A post shared by BVLGARI Official (@bvlgari)
Priyanka makes her way through the diwan-e-khas at the City Palace in Jaipur which is home to the current maharaja of Jaipur, Sawai Padmanabh Singh. The iconic venue was constructed for private audiences with the maharaja at the time which was a sight to behold with its terracotta painted walls (which are a tint of pink) and laden with hand painted floral décor across its walls and jharokhas alike. It is said that the city of Jaipur was painted pink in the year 1876 when India was still colonised by the British and even now the new houses have to painted pink so that the city stays cohesive and proves to be the architectural gem that it is.
Jaipur, the pink city is one of the gemstone capitals of the world, and colour is spread everywhere across the bustling markets to the local neighbourhoods, the gorgeous traditional Rajasthani clothes and mojaris worn by the locals, to the tie and dye dupattas and sarees laden with gilded zari details available across the city's bazaars. But nothing could be more grand than the royal heritage of the city and the gemstones that bring out the myriad hues of the land of the sand dunes, camels and beyond. It is safe to say that Priyanka Chopra opens doors into rediscovering the sheer gem that Jaipur is in all its grandiosity.
Priyanka Chopra's Jaipur escapade is a celebration of royalty, gemstone and a kaleidoscope of colours.

Dominic Franks' viral onion tart sparks Upside Down Cookbook
In May 2023, UK-based food writer Dominic Franks posted a reel on his Instagram page featuring an upside-down puff pastry onion tart. Topped with cream cheese, layered banana shallots, the golden squares went viral overnight. With over a million likes, the reel has since got 40 million views, and counting. And this reel is what led Dominic on the path to turning author, and his recently-launched debut cookbook Upside Down Cooking (published by Dorling Kindersley) is an ode to the viral onion tart. While Dominic has been known for whipping up seasonal and rustic British recipes, he created the onion tart as he wanted 'a savoury version of the tart tatin' that he loved the concept of. 'I've always wanted to write a book, but I could see the potential of the 'upside down' concept as it was so popular on my social media. It took me roughly six months to write the book in the summer of 2024. I had many of the recipes already from trials on social media,' he says. The 'upside down' method is a culinary technique wherein ingredients are layered in a pan or dish in reverse order, and the dish is flipped before serving. Dominic adds that the onion tart aside, other popular recipes were the beetroot, red onion and feta tart, and the upside down tomato tart. 'The upside-down concept is so simple and once you try it you can see how easily adaptable and versatile it is for savoury and sweet recipes. They're also very easy and quick to create which is why the amateur cook likes it.' Featuring 85 recipes, Upside Down Cooking includes many of his inverted treats, smaller pies, family-sized pies, and desserts. 'Many people asked me what to serve with the pies and tarts so I wanted to create a selection of side-dishes such as fresh salads, soups. These are perfect to serve with my upside down creations,' says Dominic, who draws inspiration from old cookbooks such as Delia Smith's Complete Cookery Course, and television shows by Nigella Lawson, Jamie Oliver, and Rick Stein. 'I am very much an 'in the moment' cook so I don't spend a lot of time testing recipes,' says Dominic, 'I tend to make something, and if it works it's a go and if it doesn't then I don't include it. I think this is more realistic to how people cook in their everyday life. So, for the book, I would think of my favourite foods and imagine if they would work upside down. If they worked they were in the book!' And recipes that did make the cut include upside-down versions of an apricot, polenta, and almond traybake cake; spanakopita; banana toffee tart; beetroot tart tatin, among others. A surprising find was the upside down samosa. 'I grew up in London in the 1970s with many Indian friends and so Indian food was always a part of my life. I knew I wanted to include some recipes that reflect that in the book. My favourite Indian dish is the korma and I am working on an upside down version of that,' says Dominic, who is now working on his second book on the same concept. Priced at ₹2,750, Upside Down Cooking is available online

Donald Trump caps his 5-day Scottish trip by opening new golf course
President Donald Trump is opening a new golf course bearing his name in Scotland on Tuesday, capping a five-day foreign trip designed around promoting his family's luxury properties and playing golf. Trump and his sons Eric and Donald Jr are cutting the ceremonial ribbon and playing the first-ever round at the new Trump course in the village of Balmedie, on the northern coast of Scotland. Also from the country's north is the president's late mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, who was born on the Isle of Lewis, immigrated to New York and died in 2000 at age 88. My mother loved Scotland, Trump said during a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday at another one of his golf courses, Turnberry, on Scotland's southern coast. It's different when your mother was born here. Trump used his trip to meet with Starmer and reach a trade framework for tariffs between the US and the European Union's 27 member countries though scores of key details remain to be hammered out. The overseas jaunt let Trump escape Washington's sweaty summer humidity but also the still-raging scandal over the files related to Jeffrey Epstein. But it was mostly built around golf and walking the new course before it officially begins selling rounds to the public on August 13, adding to a lengthy list of ways Trump has used the White House to promote his brand. Trump's assets are in a trust, and his sons are running the family business while he's in the White House. But any business generated at the course will ultimately enrich the president when he leaves office. The new golf course will be the third owned by the Trump Organisation in Scotland. Trump purchased Turnberry in 2014 and owns another course near Aberdeen, which opened in 2012. Trump golfed on Saturday as protesters took to the streets, and on Sunday. He invited Starmer, who famously doesn't golf, aboard Air Force One so the prime minister could get a private tour of his Aberdeen property before Tuesday's ceremonial opening. Even if you play badly, it's still good, Trump said of golfing on his course over the weekend. If you had a bad day on the golf course, it's OK. It's better than other days. Trump even found time at Turnberry to praise its renovated ballroom, which he said he'd paid lavishly to upgrade even suggesting that he might install one like it at the White House. I could take this one, drop it right down there," Trump joked. And it would be beautiful.
