These pictures are from Katrina and Phil’s foodie wedding earlier this year at Auberge du Lac, a Michelin-starred restaurant with the most laid-back kitchen I’ve ever been in during the course of a wedding reception. Top picture’s the start of plating the foie gras and chicken liver parfait with home-made grenola and Sauternes jelly starter, and [...]

There are plenty of old advertising signs featuring brand names around London. I suspect a lot of them have been put up for tourists' amusement or to make a place look old and interesting; I especially wonder if those ones in Gabriel's Wharf have been put there just for effect. But there are others around in hard to reach places that look like they have been there for decades. I am still kicking myself...

Regular readers of my blog will know that I love a good cookbook. My shelves sag under their collective weight but still, like every addict; it's never enough I want 'more' and 'better'. Which is where my latest acquisition comes in, because it certainly fulfils both requirements. COCO is a beautiful, weighty, glossy, large and rather sleek book. It is the first of it's kind, in as much that it is...

In Hong Kong, all the hotel chains have « prestigious » restaurants: Michelin, Ducasse, Robuchon, Gagnaire, Jean George, etc… For instant, the restaurant at the Four Seasons, Caprice, was hosting a 2 star chef from the south of France. We had a great meal. I also went to the restaurant where I ate a few years ago during a tasting organized by our client for a few wine lovers interested...

Formal dining is fine for special occasions, but sometimes all you crave in the world is a three-quid fry-up, says Alex James I do like a really over-the-top posh restaurant now and then: the whoosh of spinnakering napkins in whispery candlelight; Mrs James in her favourite frock and, just like Marie Antoinette or the Holy Roman Emperor, comfortably and ruthlessly giving the thumbs-up or thumbs-down...

Londonist loves to eat. And we like to cook as well. Hey, we just like food. But we thought for a change it would be nice to catch up with some of the dudes and dudettes who really feed London - its chefs. It's easy to be dismissive of American cuisine, but a quick chat with the amicable head chef of All Star Lanes will show you that a lot of care and consideration has gone into each one of his recipes....

Views of the lake and villa If comments made in recent months by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke are to be believed, then "the recession is very likely over." Most of us continue to scoff in disbelief, and inversely, there are others that may have missed the memo that the economy was in upheaval at all. We're talking about the well-monied types that have continued to swipe their Black...

We suspected the loss of a Michelin star had weighed heavily on Mario Batali when a call for new sous-chefs at Del Posto went up a day after the setback, and now, speaking about the elimination of the restaurant’s enoteca , Batali tells the Feed: “We’re going to get our second Michelin star and a four-star New York Times review this year, and this is how we’re going to do it.”...

I'm not a slave to trends, but I do like to try new things, if only to keep my taste buds up the date. So, earlier this year, when I read that Ferran Adrià—the supposed super-genius behind El Bulli, the Michelin three-star restaurant in Roses, Spain, where you need take out a third mortgage and deliver over your first born in order to get a reservation—had created a beer "to...

Air bags of every type and size are continuing to make their way into our cars and from what we gather, it won't be long before we make the chubby Michelin man look under inflated with all those bags surrounding us in our vehicles.

While Cru gets cheaper and more casual, Diner’s Journal reports that another fine-dining heavy hitter, Del Posto , is going the opposite route. Mario Batali’s crown jewel, which recently lost a Michelin star , has eliminated the café where it served a more affordable menu, and is removing eight tables from the mezzanine. The silver lining is that a $29 prix fixe lunch will now be...

Europe's Monaco acts like a magnet for the wealthy - if they don't want to live there for the tax haven reasons they almost certainly want to visit. And while the recession might be hitting ordinary people, and they are cutting back on their holidays, even with losses on the stock markets the ultra rich still have enough money not to notice a big loss at the Monte Carlo casino. But there's more to
