My niece popped in on me for 3 days while in Paris and mentioned in passing that I seem to shoot an awful lot of things in rows... Out of the mouths of babes... It is true that I often shoot things in rows... But I didn't arrange them like these balcons at Galeries Lafayette, a great purveyor of rows like the previous parfum bottles... Another obsessed row-liner-upper is Patisserie Stohrer , with some...

I love macaroons. Chocolate dipped macaroons, though, sound scrumptious! $12 One dozen Halloween dipped pretzels, $9 Bite sized pecan pie minis also have toffee and chocolate. So good! $12

It's 5:45 in the morning, the sky is starting to glow ever so slightly near the horizon, and all is still and quiet outside. I'm sitting on my sofa wide awake. My body thinks it's the middle of the day, and there is no way around it - I'm in for a couple more early mornings before I can shake this jet lag. So, I thought I'd make myself some tea, watch the sun come up, and take a bit of time to share...

For my final post on my month in Paris I have put together a list of the top eight cheap eats in Paris. Paris can be an expensive city but each of these suggestions are under €10 each. Save more cash by hiring a Velib to get around (€1 hire fee per day) and fill up your water bottle at the beautiful wrought iron Wallace fountains which are everywhere in Paris. Tarte Tartin at Au Rochere de...

Back in the eighties earning a few pennies whilst still at college was a lot easier than today. The objective was simple, to buy as many pieces of clothing bearing the Comme des Garçons label as I could possibly afford from my fifty quid a day as a hi-fi salesman. Most of my peers then were either kitted out as New Romantics or Country Life Henrys (‘orrible cravats, tweeds, etc); me, I...

Surfing the website of Elle à Table recently, I was amused to discover articles entitled “Cheese Party” and “ Notre Best-Of Des Recettes du Pasta” . This month’s Vogue Paris is equally generous with Anglicisms, referencing “globetrotter”, “top model”, “easy attitude”, “jet-set” and “world class.” Even my...

This is a gorgeous cake to make and so impressive when you slice through it and discover the broccoli florets in the middle. My mum would find it hard to make as it has 7 eggs in and with her post rationing upbringing and make do and mend approach, to have that many eggs is very indulgent! serves 8 500g (2.5 cups) unsalted butter, softened 800g (1 lb 12 oz) broccoli cut into florets 100g (1/2 cup)...

Photos courtesy of Labour and Wait Labour and Wait's first stand-alone store. I'm just back from London, where, needless to say, Dover Street Market was my first stop right after catching the amazing Gerhard Richter show at the National Portrait Gallery. I had a quick bite at the Rose Bakery on the top floor and then went straight to my favorite vendor, Labour and Wait , which specializes in artisanal...

A secret: for nigh on 4 weeks now, I've had a plastic bag full of potatoes sitting on my butcher block counter. They've been sprouting strangely pretty purple and green nubbins, which I rub off each time I pass them....

Dear Shaded Viewers,One of my favorite spots in London is the Rose Bakery at the top of the Dover Street Market. In fact I never go to London without stopping there. It's like my les Deux Abeilles when I'm away...

Yannig Samot's new trendy trad in Rose Bakery country is an interesting place and a good lunch deal. A three course menu is 17€ and gets you a creamy endives soup or paté, followed by a copious fish dish with Japanese mushrooms or cochonailles with mushy peas, followed by an orange salad with Greek yoghurt. Friendly service. Funky crowd. Eclectic music hovering between Eminem and "My...
