But this Mediterranean island also has several unique pasta styles — many of which are still relatively obscure beyond its shores. That’s why specialty-food company Bona Furtuna, which focuses on indigenous varieties and heritage foodways, has partnered with Sardinian producer Pastificio Pais for a limited-edition set of three labor-intensive shapes. Each is handmade from Karalis, a natural hybrid Sardinian wheat, and is best enjoyed with plenty of Pecorino Sardo....

We flew south from Istanbul through the first part of the night, my fiancé, Wen, and I. It was an uncertain time, the winter of 2016-17 — Turkey and Greece rattling sabers, Europe roiling, you know the rest. The waxing moon was a blood-red crescent, while in the uninhabited stretches of the Sahara below us, it was as if the end of days had paid an early visit, no sign of humanity detected....

This area, the hotel explains in a statement, “offers a richly authentic, unbuttoned experience where artistic, free-spirited energy is embodied and interpreted through design....
