Chablis

During this fabulous week spent in Burgundy, we were lucky enough to get to try some great local products like good wines and different fresh market ingredients that I then used to prepare dinner. The beautiful surroundings and the good company of family and friends made this week something to remember.
Fois gras with home made ravioli and a red porto sauce and mushrooms emulsion, celeriac salad with an orange and cumin vinaigrette, duck breast with a wild mushrooms fricassee and a mandarin sauce were some of the classic French cuisine meals made to celebrate our journey in the French countryside.

Back from the Czech Republic

After spending two weeks in this beautiful country, everything that I can say about it is positive: the people, the food, the architecture, the weather, and, of course, the prices! We were lucky to be able to leave the Czech republic with such a good impression. Here are a couple of my favourite images from our holiday, the secoind one evidence that, of course, cooking was involved in our trip too!

Sketch: Pierre Gagnaire's London restaurant

It was a very nice experience, not only because of the good menu but also because of the people who work there who were very kind, it was impressive how this building, formerlly of Christian Dior, was made into four restaurants with different concepts in each one, there is the gallery and lecture room, the decoration is amazing, the lights, the furniture, the floors: everything is very modern and artistic, the ambience was really good and we had a great time, if you have the chance to go to this restaurant in London or to another of Pierre Gagnaire's restaurants in Hong Kong, Tokyo, or Paris you won't be disappointed, this great Chef known as "The artist" is my favorite Chef.

Borough Market

As I have said before on this site, markets are definitely places to visit when you travel and they are, in fact, part of my schedule when I visit a new city, this time, in London I visited Borough Market, a place where vendors sell organic products and prepare food to eat,to show locals and foreigners that England has more than the famous fish and chips, don't let people fool you: discover places like this and you will see how interesting and delicious it can be!
