| November 27th,2011  St. Emilion St Emilion,located about half an hour outside of the city of Bordeaux,must be one of the prettiest and most enchanting little towns in France,if not Europe. If you manage to ignore the fact that it doesn’t feel ‘real’ but a bit like a Wine Disney World for national and international tourists,you will very likely have a highly enjoyable time there.  very dangerous in high heels!  Place du Marche in St. Emilion November 21st,2011
 fragrant fruit in paper wrap Category: Haute Cuisine ££££ To finally dine at to Mugaritz was a foodie dream of mine coming true and on the big day I was excited like a little child on Christmas Eve. You have never heard of Mugaritz? Let me share some key facts with you first before proceeding to THE meal. Location:Mugaritz is located in the little village of Errenteria,a 15 minutes scenic drive away from Europe’s culinary capital San Sebastian in the Spanish Basque Country. November 20th,2011  When visiting France’s most famous region for the production of gorgeous red wine,it is worthwhile spending some time in the city that gives this wine its name:Bordeaux. It is the capital of the department Gironde in the region Aquitaine and well over 1 million people live in this beautiful and charming city with a lot of French flair. November 18th,2011  A Period Cartoon which hangs in the WC at Chateau Lafite On my recent trip to Bordeaux I was invited (=I tagged along) to an exclusive tour and subsequent dinner at Château Lafite Rothschild. Château Lafite Rothschild is undoubtedly one of the most famous wine producers in France and it makes some of the best regarded red wines in Bordeaux. Chateau Lafite (‘lafite’means little hill) is located in the small village of Pauillac —an idyllic setting in the in the Medoc,north-west of Bordeaux. The area is celebrated for wines and was noted for fine vintages as early as the 13th century;indeed historical records show that wine produced at this vineyard were sold at auctions in London in 1707.

Category: Brasserie (£££) Hunan on Pimlico Road is contrary to what the name suggests,not a Hunanese restaurant. In my limited knowledge of Chinese cuisines,I would have placed it as being Cantonese,as dishes were rather mild and a some reminded me of upmarket versions of stir fries I had in Chinatown. According to their website,Hunan‘s food is mainly the chef’s own creations,chiefly influenced by Taiwanese. November 2nd,2011 Tilda Diwali Supper Club  Category: Blogger Event (invited by Tilda Rice) Sometimes it’s really worth having a food blog (apart from satisfying your creative side of course and from having a great excuse to eat out all the time for research purpose) and that is,when you get invited to events. Very often these events are boring,you get uninspired food and they are not worth talking,let alone write about. Once in a while though you have one of these very enjoyable experiences,that you know you would never have if you hadn’t put a big portion of your non-working life in obsessively writing and maintaining your little baby (=blog). |
