Making homemade phyllo dough is possible, but it’s incredibly time-consuming. For most people, including professionals, pre-made phyllo dough does the trick just fine. You’ll find it in the freezer section alongside other doughs and desserts in most supermarkets.

Phyllo is a very thin, almost translucent, sheet of dough. We have the Greeks to thank for this pastry wonder, although it’s also frequently used by many other cultures in the Mediterranean and the Middle East. It can be used in sweet or savory applications and pops up in recipes for every course....

Kia has revealed a new hotter version of its Stinger muscle car at the New York motor show. It’s limited to just 800 units but it uses a new all-wheel drive system, features carbonfibre bits and comes in a new colour, too. We’re hoping some of those options will make it to the standard GTS.

Then in 2014, cameras designed to capture leopard sightings caught images of a female elephant lumbering through the trees.

As we ambled through the Knysna forest, gradually falling behind the faster hikers in the group, conversation turned to the topic of the near-mythical elephants said to still roam here. Once thought to number around 1000, the herd had been reduced to an estimated.None have been seen for years and ma

The country’s dry heat has helped preserve the sites as has the fact that many of them were abandoned for centuries, submerged beneath the silt of the flooding Nile or the sands of the desert and largely ignored.

I have always wanted to discover Ancient Egypt, to see the sheer scale of the great sites, such as Karnak – some 60 acres in size – for myself. There’s 5,000 years of history to discover, building techniques, mummification processes, the meanings of hieroglyphs and the extraordinary complexiti...

If you are on your outward journey, be sure to ask for some cash for immediate supplies. The airline may suggest you buy the supplies and they will refund on receipt.

Incredible as it sounds, millions of checked-in bags are either lost or damaged in transit. When we hand our luggage over we expect to see it again at our destination. But what should you do if it is not there? A traveller’s mantra should be: “when I leave the airport it will be either with my l...
