It’s only fitting that our cover star this month is the legendary Barbra Streisand. At 83, the winner of two Oscars, 10 Grammys, five Emmys and a Tony award is still embracing new creative challenges. “I’m not good at much, but what I do, I like to think I do well,” she told MiNDFOOD with characteristic humility. Her newly released memoir, My Name Is Barbra, reflects on a six-decade career as an artist and icon. And this June, she unveils a brand-new album, The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two – a follow-up to her beloved 2014 duets album, featuring collaborations with Paul McCartney, Mariah Carey, Sting, Sam Smith, Josh Groban and Bob Dylan. “There’s a kind of magic when two voices come together,” she says. “Each one brings their story, their phrasing, their emotion … something beautiful happens.”
Also in this issue, we visit a stunning Georgian farmhouse in England’s Cotswolds, lovingly restored with a deep respect for its heritage and an open-door warmth that turns it into a true family haven.
In Beauty & Style, we spotlight the young beauty entrepreneurs making waves with innovative skincare and makeup launches you’ll want to try, and showcase dazzling European jewellery you’ll want to wear.
