Revisit The Story of Édouard Nignon In this episode to celebrate the birthday of Édouard Nignon today we celebrate the life and legacy of Edouard Nignon, an extraordinary French chef often overshadowed by contemporaries like Auguste Escoffier. Known as a true visionary, Nignon's dedication to French cuisine and his adventurous approach to flavors marked him as one of the unsung culinary masters of his time. From humble beginnings as a young kitchen apprentice, Nignon rose to prominence in Paris's elite restaurants before embarking on an illustrious international career that took him across Europe and beyond. Listeners are taken on a journey through Nignon's career highlights, including his work with royalty and nobility in Austria, Russia, and England. Not only did he create dishes that delighted the palates of emperors and high society, but he also earned a reputation for combining French techniques with bold and unique flavors. His time spent at prestigious establishments, including Claridge's in London and the Hermitage in Moscow, illustrates how he helped spread French culinary traditions across borders while embracing other cultures' flavors. Nignon's life was also marked by personal challenges and resilience. The episode explores his return to France, where he continued his influence by writing celebrated cookbooks and founding a culinary institute. Despite health struggles, his commitment to sharing his culinary knowledge never wavered, and he left a lasting impact on French cuisine through his writing and mentorship of future culinary icons. Finally, we learn of Nignon's contributions to modern cooking and his emphasis on clear broths, subtle seasoning, and inventive techniques that inspired Nouvelle Cuisine. This episode offers listeners a glimpse into the life of a chef who, despite not being widely known today, paved the way for modern French culinary innovation.

We meet Mary McCartney, world renowned photographer, film-maker and sustainable food pioneer. As a leading British creative, her work covers multiple disciplines, but is always rooted in her passion for impactful storytelling. We meet at Claridges Art Space in London to explore her joint show 'Double Exposure' with photography legend David Bailey. Unfolding like a conversation between two friends, Double Exposure: David Bailey & Mary McCartney brings two era-defining British photographers into dialogue for the first time. Curated by Brandei Estes, this striking series of works spans the 1960s to the present day – exploring a shared aesthetic of reinvention, play and the art of portraiture itself.Mary McCartney's insightful gaze reveals enigmatic and evocative portraits of celebrity icons, from Kate Moss to Harry Styles. Like Bailey, there's a dash of the theatrical and performative in her photographs. But set alongside everyday moments – a ballet dancer ‘off pointe' or a woman hailing a taxi – she conjures the sense that anything, or anyone, could be a subject. As a portrait and fine art photographer, McCartney's work has been featured globally, with exhibitions taking place in London, New York, France and in 2015 was invited by Buckingham Palace to take the official photograph to mark Queen Elizabeth II becoming the longest reigning Monarch. Her work is held in major private and public permanent collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; the National Portrait Gallery, London; The Royal Academy, London; and the Fondation d'entreprise Hermès, Paris, and has been commissioned by leading publications including National Geographic, British Vogue and GQ. In 2023, McCartney's first feature documentary If These Walls Could Sing, the untold story of the Abbey Road Studios 90 year history, was selected to premiere at The Telluride Film Festival. Streaming globally on Disney, and was nominated for a Critics Choice Documentary Award. McCartney has also been at the forefront of food sustainability for over 25 years, with a history and heritage rooted in her mother's pioneering work and creation of one of the first meat free brands Linda McCartney Food in 1991. In 2009, Mary co-founded the global collective Meat Free Monday with her father and sister, and is a global ambassador for Green Common Foods, a food tech brand in Asia that is focused on plant based meat substitute products. McCartney has also executive produced and presented three seasons of her EMMY nominated plant based cooking show, “Mary McCartney Serves It Up!” for Discovery+.McCartney is a multi-published author, with a range of fine art photography books available from globally renowned publishers including, HENI and Chatto & Windus. Combining her passion for food and publishing, her latest book Feeding Creativity, published by TASCHEN is a unique hybrid coffee table, portrait and recipe book, featuring favourite recipes for friends, family, and members of the creative community.Follow @MaryMcCartneyDouble Exposure: David Bailey & Mary McCartney is open to all, and will run in Claridge's ArtSpace until 19 July 2024.

Today, we're peeling back the layers of what it truly means to provide an exceptional guest experience, drawing lessons from one of the most prestigious hotels in the world: Claridge's. Nestled in the heart of London, Claridge's is a beacon of luxury, not merely for its plush interiors or the exorbitant price tag attached to its rooms but for something far more crucial - its impeccable service. While watching a documentary on this iconic hotel, I was struck by the realization that the core principles of their success are not confined to the realms of luxury hotels. They are, in fact, incredibly relevant and applicable to short term rental (STR) operations, no matter the scale or location. So, let's delve into the world of high-end hospitality and uncover how the lessons from Claridge's can transform the guest experience in our own STR businesses. In this episode you'll learn: Exceptional Service Overcomes Shortfalls Personalized Experiences Create Loyalty Pets Welcome Remembering Guests Never Say "I Don't Know" As we wrap up this episode, it's clear that the principles of luxury hospitality hold valuable lessons for anyone in the short-term rental business. It's not about the price point or the lavishness of your property but how you make your guests feel. Exceptional service, personalized experiences, and attention to detail can set your STR apart in a crowded market. Remember, in the world of hospitality, it's the small gestures that leave a lasting impression.

Interdisciplinary artist Osman Yousefzada crafts stories of working-class migration experiences, unwrapping the influence of his mother and many other textile makers in his diaspora community in Birmingham. From large-scale textile works to prints and drawings, Osman Yousefzada's practice considers representations and reimaginings of working class migration experience. Growing up in a British-Pakistani diaspora community in Birmingham in the 1980s, Yousefzada's craft is grounded in his childhood experiences, watching his mother, ‘a maker' of shalwar kameez and other textiles. A new exhibition at Charleston in Firle draws connections between these domestic, private spaces, the Bloomsbury group and fashion, and the artist's public practice. We look at a new series of works on paper, on public display for the first time, inspired by characters in the Falnama, a book of omens used by fortune tellers in Iran, India and Turkey during the 16th and 17th centuries. At the time, people seeking insight into the future would turn to a random page and interpret the text; Yousefzada transposes this to the present day, to tell stories of ‘good' and ‘bad' migrants, and recreate such talismans that protect or heal and work as guardians of the immigrant experience. The artist describes his large-scale textile series, Queer Feet, Afghan rugs, topped with ceramic works, and embroidered with found objects that reference Islamic and Asian design histories. We discuss his expanded, Sufistic, spiritual practice. We also consider the healing potential of museums, and the various media used by the artist in storytelling, with his book, The Go-Between (2022). Osman Yousefzada runs at Charleston in Firle until 14 April 2024. For more, you can read my article in gowithYamo: gowithyamo.com/blog/osman-yousefzada-at-charleston-in-firle For more about the material power of embroidery, listen to curator Rachel Dedman on an UNRWA Dress from Ramallah, Palestine (1930s) at Kettle's Yard in Cambridge and the Whitworth in Manchester, on EMPIRE LINES: pod.link/1533637675/episode/92c34d07be80fe43a8e328705a7d80cb WITH: Osman Yousefzada, interdisciplinary artist and research practitioner at the Royal College of Art, London. He is a visiting fellow at Cambridge University, and Professor of Interdisciplinary Practice at the Birmingham School of Art. His first book, The Go-Between (2022), is published by Canongate. Alongside his solo exhibition at Charleston, he exhibits in group exhibitions including Embodiments of Memory at the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent and Design Museum's REBEL, and his Migrant Godx can be found at Claridge's Art Space, Blackpool's Grundy Art Gallery, and soon, Camden Art Centre, as part of Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2023. He will exhibit at the 60th Venice Biennale, and the V&A in London, in 2024. ART: ‘Queer Feet, Osman Yousefzada (2023)'. SOUNDS: ‘Home Grown - Osman Yousefzada x Selfridges'.

Growing up in Scotland, surrounded by Glasgow's vibrant culture and architecture, Iain Watson, CEO of David Collins Studio, found his passion early on. A chance meeting with David Collins changed his life forever. He started working alongside the designer over the summer. Since that pivotal moment, spanning more than three decades, Watson has remained an integral part of the studio's evolution. Together, they carved a niche in the hospitality industry, crafting iconic spaces, including chef Pierre Koffmann's La Tante Claire in Chelsea, Claridge's Bar at the Claridge's Hotel in London, and the Blue Bar in London's Berkeley Hotel. The firm is also one of a handful of designers behind the highly anticipated Fontainebleau Las Vegas, opening this month. After Collins' death in 2013, Watson took the reins of the company, where he has ushered the studio into a new era while still honoring Collins' legacy.

durée : 00:15:00 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Philippe Garbit - A quoi ressemblaient les établissements de restauration en libre-service en 1952 ? Et au Claridge sur les Champs-Elysées comment était organisée la restauration ? Deux reportages de Pierre Le Rouzic pour la "Tribune gastronomique" réalisés en 1952 et 1954.

Many have attempted the brutal 3,000+ mile transcontinental run across the U.S. Few have completed it. And even fewer have crushed it with the style and swagger of today's guest William Goodge, who ran from Los Angeles to New York in a blazing 55 days and somehow made it look fun.  His endurance resume also includes running 50 marathons in 50 days, circumnavigating Lake Cuomo, Italy, and running from Land's End to John O'Groats—all to raise funds for cancer research in honor of his mother. What I find most compelling about Will isn't just his athletic accomplishments and the mission behind them. It's that he's actively defying the archetype of how ultrarunners should look and behave with an infectious energy and unique style that is completely his own. A former model sporting a muscled physique uncommon among endurance athletes, Will much prefers Paris Fashion Week and high tea at Claridge's to camping. He's keen to share his skincare routine with you and isn't afraid to rock a Prada man purse. He cuts a different pose and has positioned himself as a powerful example to others who live outside the ultra bubble as to what's possible in terms of manifesting potential.  Today we dive into Will's journey, motivations, big achievements, and lessons learned from running across the states—including the ins and outs of the controversy that swirled around his transcontinental run. We also discuss his close friendship with podcast alum Robbie Balenger, the importance of diversifying the ultra-running community, and the magic that happens when you redefine your possible. Will is an absolute delight. I loved getting to know him—and I know you will too.

Since opening its doors in 1854, Claridge's has welcomed dozens of beloved royals, foreign dignitaries, and Hollywood stars, earning a reputation as one of the most star-studded hotels in the world.  Melissa sits down with Claridge's archivist Kate Hudson and lead butler Michael Lynch, who have intimate knowledge of the hotel's rich history and its legendary guests.

A simple potato can transform a so-so day into something special, a soup can warm you in more ways than one, and baking a chocolate cake is just another way of shouting, “I love you!” at the top of your lungs. A Generous Meal is a modern cookbook of over 100 recipes that anyone—from a novice to an experienced chef like Christine—can use to whip up restaurant-quality meals with ease.

It is a privilege to welcome Chef Dale MacKay to The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. Originally from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Chef MacKay began his career in the culinary industry as a fry cook in Vancouver, British Columbia. He then moved to London, England, where he began working at Chef Gordon Ramsey's Claridge's, followed by stints in Michelin-starred Ramsey restaurants in London, Tokyo, and New York City. He eventually returned to Vancouver to become the executive chef of Daniel Boulud's Lumiere restaurant, where the restaurant was awarded the AAA Five Diamond Award under his direction. In 2011, Chef Dale MacKay competed on the first season of Top Chef Canada, where he became the inaugural champion of the franchise. After winning the show and starting a Vancouver restaurant, he returned to his hometown, where he founded the Grassroots Restaurant Group with Christopher Cho and Nathan Guggenheimer. With this group, he opened restaurants in Western Canada, including Avenue Restaurant and Bar, Ayden Kitchen and Bar, DOJO Ramen, Little Grouse on the Prairie, and Sticks and Stones. Chef MacKey is competing on Top Chef: World All-Stars. He will compete against 15 finalists and winners from 11 different Top Chef franchises. Padma Lakshmi, Tom Colicchio, and Gail Simmons are back as the hosts, but for the first time in show history, the entire competition shot an entire season abroad. In the second exclusive podcast interview of 2023, Chef Dale MacKay spoke about the lessons he learned from working with Chef Gordon Ramsey, reminisced about his win on Top Chef: Canada, and competed on Top Chef: World All-Stars.

When you run one of the top 50 restaurants in the world, your business is operating at near perfection. But in order to become the best, Will Guidara knew he'd have to redefine hospitality. Will is the former owner of Make it Nice, the hospitality group with restaurants covering the spectrum from fine dining to fast casual, including the acclaimed Eleven Madison Park, NoMad in New York, London, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, and Davies and Brook at Claridge's hotel in London. Knowing his true passion lies in making people happy, Will opted to be unreasonable in his approach to service and hospitality, leading to Eleven Park Madison being named the best restaurant in the world in 2017 and the writing of his first book, Unreasonable Hospitality (Penguin Random House).  In this episode of Redefiners, Will discusses not only how to go above and beyond for customers, but how to inspire and support a team to do the same. Will's unique perspective on hospitality can be applied across industries. From the benefits of starting at the bottom, to setting expectations for feedback, to building a culture of excellence, listen in as one of the restaurant industry's great leaders shares his ascent to the top.    If you enjoyed this episode, you might also like these Redefiners episodes:    From Gillette to Jamba Juice: How to Lead Iconic Brands with Empathy, Purpose & Integrity  From Harvard to Hollywood: A Conversation with Debra Martin Chase  The Power of Art and the Art of Power with Henry Timms

If you live in Florida for any length of time, there are two words you really don't want to hear and that is -- Red Tide. Red Tide kills our marine life, disrupts our tourism industry, and is literally a stinker of a problem. Most everyone knows it's been around for centuries but is there anything that can be done to at least reduce its impact on our ecology and our economy? Fortunately, one world-class organization right here in Sarasota is fighting to find the answers.

The British culture is varied and vast and while one person's affection for the culture may include punk rock along with their love for the Beatles, another's affinities may gravitate toward the gardening and afternoon tea. While my predilections lean more toward the latter, whenever a culture speaks to us that is not the one in which we grew up in or were raised entirely, we owe it to ourselves to continue to explore because our intuition is speaking. As many readers of TSLL and listeners of the podcast know, TSLL derives much of its content from two cultures, the French and the British, specifically the ways of life that invite us to slow down, savor and invest in quality moments and approaches rather than quantity and superficial living to gain approval. Instead the only approval we seek is from within. In episode #144 I shared 20 ways for welcoming the French culture into your everyday life, and so it is well overdue that I should share a similar list for welcoming the British culture into your everyday life. After having now visited London on three separate occasions and the English countryside on two separate occasions, I enjoyed compiling this list as my life in Bend is a marriage of both my love of the French and British culture, incorporating from both the everyday rituals I love, savoring approaches, tastes, décor and ways of life that reminds me of two cultures that tickle my curiosity and nurture my true self most sincerely. Inspired by my most recent visit, but also drawing upon all of my experiences and fortunate opportunities to explore Britain, let's take a look at how we can welcome different ideas into our everyday life the British culture. ~Note to readers: Be sure to listen to the episode as each item listed below is discussed in much more detail in the audio version. 1. Create a tea ritual in your everyday routine The feline host at The Rookery in London, Bagheera, joined us for our morning tea. 2. Know, use correctly with confidence and be able to explain the difference in conversation between saying England, Great Britain/Britain and the United Kingdom ~tune in to the audio version for this episode where the differences are explained Check out this detailed and easy to follow post about the clear differences. 3. Subscribe to either AcornTV or BritBox (or both), and enjoy multiple series, films and BBC programs, some within hours of their airing in Britain The Art of the British Cosy Mystery: 16 Cosy Mysteries to Enjoy 10 British Comedies and Dramedies I Have Enjoyed (and Recommend) 4. Grow a garden no matter how large or small your outdoor space or balcony Touring gardens was a primary focus on this most recent trip, and Sissinghurst Castle Gardens inspired many ideas as well as soothed the mind and being as I wandered the grounds for hours. 5. Invite others to 'tea' at your home or for a Cuppa 6. Celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee this year ~Have you entered the Grand Giveaway for your chance to win Fortnum & Mason's Jubilee Hamper?

Welcome cozy upholstered furniture (reupholstered an old favorite) into your home décor ~Staying at The Pig at Bridge Place introduced many ideas for cozy upholstery inspiration. 8. Watch football (aka soccer), or not and instead watch tennis or cricket or rugby 9. Have biscuits (shortbread cookies) or something simple to nibble on when having tea with guests at your home 10. Tune in via television or radio to the BBC "The oldest national broadcasting organisation in the world with a global reach, covering world events 24/7 and producing world-class entertainment". 11. Watch Ted Lasso on AppleTV+ A new season will likely be released this late summer/early fall. The first two seasons can be streamed in entirety now. 12. Acquire a high quality umbrella (and use it when it rains) ~James Smith & Sons in London on New Oxford was a must-stop during my recent trip to London. 13. Layer with pillows, let go of matchy-matchy Instead keep in the same color tone, and mix large and small prints with the occasional solid. 14. Find time to spend time at the oceanside 15.

Practice your French Did you know that the Queen looks over the weekly menu given to her by the chef who writes the menu in French, as has every chef dating back to Queen Victoria's reign? Yep, and just another lovely reason to incorporate both cultures in some way into your daily life. :) 22. Practice thoughtful manners Give personal space (an arm's length distance), use both a fork and knife when dining, don't ask nosey questions, please and thank you, respect the queue, refrain from superlatives (i.e. the best, greatest, worst, tallest, shortest, most exciting, etc.) 23.

Welcome trays into your everyday for serving tea, meals, courses, etc. ~Be sure to enter this giveaway to win a high quality, handmade rectangular tray with glass top. 25. Enjoy daily walks with your pups and say hello to passing pups During this trip walking was done both in the heart of London (seen here with Big Ben in the background) and in the English countryside as we toured Sissinghurst Castle Garden. This photo was captured after just having departed from The Tube in the morning on our way to Westminster Abbey, followed by a visit to The National Gallery and then to Claridge's for Afternoon Tea. Needless to say, Norman was missed, and our reunion upon arriving back in Bend was quite sweet. Enjoy English tea at home in Bend, Oregon, with Norman as my companion. Bliss.
