Giles Coren

The editor-at-large begins a new column, Man & Boy, about raising his son, Sam, on page 31. “It is, of course, a project of paternal love,” Coren explains. “A chance both

to help new dads negotiate the jungle of modern fatherhood and get to the bottom of what this thing is, that we call ‘a man’. Mainly, though, it should just about cover the little bastard’s school fees.” Coren is a columnist at The Times, television

presenter and author.

Tom Parker Bowles

“Of all the half-baked trends and fads excreted by the diet industry, ‘clean eating’

is perhaps the most insidious,” says our food

editor. “A dirty scam, a sorry sham. Food should be about pleasure, not guilt. The sooner we see the back of this sorry bollocks, the better.” Learn what Parker Bowles eats in a typical day on page 128 (even if it does place him, defiantly, in the “dirty” category). His most recent book, The Fortnum’s

Cookbook (Fourth Estate) is out now.

Tom Craig

“My jolly on the high seas with Ewan McGregor was

like National Lampoon meets Captain Pugwash,” says Craig of this month’s cover shoot. “It involved cigars, golf balls, distress flares, fishing tackle and a frozen octopus. It was a minor miracle we lost no one overboard or attracted the unwanted attention of the California Coast Guard, but Ewan’s infectious laugh

saved the day.” The photographer’s previous

Esquire covers include Idris Elba, Paul McCartney

and Sean Penn.
