When Kate Leahy was in Paris recently, I was happy to have a chat with her in my kitchen for my podcast. A former restaurant cook, Kate seamlessly pivoted to food writing, collaborating on books with a variety of chefs, bakers, and sommeliers, and has also penned several books on her own.Kate co-authored La Buvette with Camille Fourmont, the owner of the charming La Buvette wine bar in Paris, and most recently, My Egypt with chef-restaurateur Michael Mina. She also co-wrote Lavash, which explores the world of Armenian flatbreads; Cookie Love with Mindy Segal; Burma Superstar, featuring recipes from San Francisco's legendary Burmese restaurant; and A16 Food+Wine, from one of the best Italian restaurants in America.While Kate was in Paris working on a project with me, in between baking together and hitting the town, attending chocolate tastings, and checking out the $15 ham & cheese sandwich at the Ritz Hotel's Le Comptoir bakery (see below), we talked about writing cookbooks in this podcast. A lot goes into writing a cookbook, especially when she's collaborating with a chef and travels to places such as Egypt and Armenia to research and cull recipes. We discussed how she chooses what projects to work on, which chefs and sommeliers to work with, what are the most rewarding parts of writing cookbooks…and what are the most difficult. (And no, working with me wasn't one of the latter…hopefully!
Sárközy Fanni: Titkos Klubok, Híres Sztárok és Egy Magyar Zongorista Amerikában Magyarok Óriási Kalandjai Amerikában - MÓKA Podcast Sárközy Fanni egy lenyűgöző tehetséggel megáldott, nemzetközileg elismert zongorista, énekes és zenepedagógus, aki közel harminc éve van jelen a zenei világban. A jazz és a klasszikus zene egyaránt része az életének, amelyeket mesteri szinten ötvöz. Budapesten született, zenei családba. Zenei tanulmányait hatévesen kezdte, majd a Liszt Ferenc Zeneművészeti Egyetemen diplomázott zongora szakon 2004-ben, kitüntetéssel. Karrierje során számos zenekarban közreműködött, többek között a Mizar és a Mrs. Columbo együttesekben. A Mrs. Columbo tagjaként 2013-ban elnyerte a Fonogram-díjat "Az év jazz albuma" kategóriában, köszönhetően a “[re]make up” című lemezüknek. Nemcsak előadóművész, hanem zeneszerző, es számos albummal büszkélkedhet. Zeneszerzőként, és elõadóként is számos díjat szerzett. 2010-ben a "No Time to Lose" című szerzeménye elnyerte a franciaországi International Songwriting Contest jazz kategóriájának fődíját. Ebben az évben a neves Jazziz Magazine is felfigyelt rá, kritikát közölt róla, sőt egy CD-t is mellékelt egyik eredeti dalával. 2017-ben Fanni és férje, Polyák Péter festőművész Floridába költöztek, ahol az új élet sok kihívást, de rengeteg lehetőséget is hozott. Fanni az amerikai zenei élet aktív résztvevőjévé vált, önálló show-k mellett olyan helyek rendszeres fellépõje, mint a Ritz Hotel és a Four Seasons. Közben festészettel is elkezdett foglalkozni, "jazztraction" nevű stílusával, amely az absztrakt művészet és a jazz improvizatív elemeit olvasztja egybe. A MÓKA Podcastben Fanni mesél az amerikai életbe való beilleszkedéséről, arról, hogyan kezdett dolgozni az új hazájában. Milyen volt az első munkája, milyen út vezette oda, hogy titkos, eldugott, exkluzív helyeken is zenélhet, ahol a belépés is korlátozott, és ahol szerződés kötelezi arra, hogy soha ne beszéljen ezekről a helyekről. A beszélgetés során megtudhatjuk, milyen legendás sztárokkal találkozott karrierje során, miként adott zongoraórákat Amerika egyik legbefolyásosabb családjának tagjának, és hogyan hatott a pandémia az életére. Kiderül, hogy egy váratlan fordulat során egy egész étterem vezetése szakadt rá és férjére, amivel teljesen új kihívásokkal kellett szembenézniük. Természetesen beszélgetésünk kiterjed a zeneszerzés művészetére is: hogyan jön az ihlet, mennyire kell "kergetni a múzsát", vagy néha pont hagyni, hogy az magától rátaláljon. Fanni személyes tapasztalatai, zenei inspirációi és amerikai kalandjai izgalmas betekintést nyújtanak egy magyar művész útkeresésébe a tengerentúlon.

fWotD Episode 2827: Nihilism (Alexander McQueen collection) Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 30 January 2025 is Nihilism (Alexander McQueen collection).Nihilism (Spring/Summer 1994) is the third collection by the British designer Alexander McQueen for his eponymous fashion house. McQueen developed the collection following the launch of his own label with Taxi Driver, which was exhibited in March 1993 at the Ritz Hotel in London in lieu of a fashion show. An eclectic collection with no straightforward theme, Nihilism pushed back against dominant womenswear trends with its hard tailoring, and aggressive, sexualised styling. It was created in collaboration with McQueen's associates Simon Ungless and Fleet Bigwood. Like Taxi Driver, Nihilism included experimental techniques, silhouettes, and materials, such as dresses made from cellophane, stained with clay, or adorned with dead locusts. Nihilism was McQueen's first professional runway show. The British Fashion Council provided backing; it was the first time they had done so for a new designer. It was staged during London Fashion Week on 18 October 1993 at the Bluebird Garage, which had a reputation as a hub for drug use and criminal activity. The styling was intended to be provocative and disturbing. The clothing was highly sexualised: thin fabric that exposed the skin underneath, or garments cut to expose breasts and vulvas. McQueen's signature bumster trousers, whose extremely low waist exposed the top of the intergluteal cleft, made their first runway appearance in Nihilism. Models were styled to look filthy and aggressive, with inspiration from the punk subculture, and were encouraged to act belligerently on the runway. The collection received mixed reviews. Journalists had a difficult time deciding what to make of it. Many accused McQueen of misogyny for presenting such extreme designs; the claim persisted throughout his career, although he consistently objected to it. McQueen returned to many of the ideas he explored in Nihilism throughout his lifetime, especially the interplay of sexuality and violence. Three items from Nihilism appeared in the retrospective exhibit Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Thursday, 30 January 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Nihilism (Alexander McQueen collection) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Ruth.

And he reflects on these years, and the 1000s restaurants he's visited on today's episode.

fWotD Episode 2474: Taxi Driver (Alexander McQueen collection) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Monday, 12 February 2024 is Taxi Driver (Alexander McQueen collection).Taxi Driver (Autumn/Winter 1993) is the second collection by British designer Alexander McQueen for his eponymous fashion house. It was named after the 1976 film Taxi Driver, and his father, who was a London taxicab driver. McQueen developed the collection following his 1992 graduation from the art school Central Saint Martins. At the time he was unemployed and seeking a job in the fashion industry; although he was reluctant to launch his own company, he worked on designs to pass the time. The collection included experimental techniques and silhouettes, most notably the bumster trouser, whose extremely low waist exposed the top of the intergluteal cleft.In lieu of a traditional fashion show, Taxi Driver was exhibited in a room at the Ritz Hotel during London Fashion Week in March 1993. McQueen was one of six young designers funded by the British Fashion Council that year. Aided by magazine editor Isabella Blow, who took it upon herself to promote McQueen, the collection garnered positive reviews. When the exhibition ended, McQueen packed the clothing into bin bags, went clubbing, and left the bags hidden in the rubbish behind the club. When he returned the next day, the rubbish had been removed. Nothing remains of the collection.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:50 UTC on Monday, 12 February 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Taxi Driver (Alexander McQueen collection) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Kajal Neural.

With the Barclays back in the news as they attempt to recover control of the Telegraph, Neil and Jonathan talk to journalist Jane Martinson about the invisible rise of the twins, their complex finances and their ultimate falling out.Presented by Jonathan Ford and Neil Collins.With Jane Martinson.Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.In association with Briefcase.News Hosted on Acast.

Colin is a legend, an English native who doggedly pursued his dream of being head bartender at the Ritz Hotel in Paris, a position he achieved and dominated for thirty years, creating the Hemingway Bar along the way, serving & befriending celebrities, heads of states, and run-of-the-mill billionaires as well. Now retired from the Ritz, he's busier than ever, running incredible drinks events around the world with his new agency Colin Field Bar Concept, and bartending a gruelling one shift a week at Paris' Maison Proust. This was a great chat with an old mate, and we covered everything from the origins of the negroni to why a code of omerta must exist between bartender and guest, bartending in business class on Air France 380s vs the Emirates configuration (and why Colin prefers Boeing 777s), how he created a true nationally-accredited degree in bartending in France, the politics of five-star hotels, and a whole bunch more.

In today's edition, we have some delightful stories that will surely bring a smile to your face. From a Taylor Swift-inspired Christmas wonderland to a heartwarming toy drive, and even an accidental addition to a family group chat, these stories highlight the beauty of kindness and joy during the holiday season. Taylor Swift's Swiftland Christmas Display: If you're a Taylor Swift fan and you're in Naperville, you're in for a treat. The Scott family has transformed their front lawn into a miniature Swiftland, showcasing all ten eras of Taylor Swift's music. Complete with a giant poster of Travis Kelsey on the roof, this unique display captures the magic of Taylor Swift and the Christmas spirit. Patrick, a fan of Taylor Swift, explains that her messaging around joy, peace, and love resonates with the Christmas message. The Scott family is also using their display to raise funds for Little Friends, a Naperville non-profit agency that serves adults and children with autism.Hoffman Estates Toy Drive Success: In Hoffman Estates, the community came together to exceed their goal of collecting 2,000 toys for children in need. The toy drive, organized by village officials and Harvest Community Church, aims to assist financially struggling families who have been identified by social workers. Joanne, the mayor's wife, expressed her gratitude for the overwhelming generosity of the community. Volunteers will now categorize the stuffed animals, Lego sets, board games, and other toys before they are distributed to the children. This heartwarming initiative is a testament to the compassion and kindness of the residents of Hoffman Estates.A Surprising Addition to a Family Group Chat: Imagine sharing photos of your new baby in a family WhatsApp chat and suddenly discovering a stranger in the chat. This is exactly what happened to Zach when Bobby, an unfamiliar face, appeared in the group chat. It turns out that Bobby had inherited Zach's old phone number and was accidentally added to the chat by Zach's grandma. Despite the confusion, Bobby graciously offered his congratulations and even pledged to donate to the diapers for the new baby. This unexpected encounter reminds us that a stranger's presence can bring unexpected blessings and joy.The Possum in the Christmas Tree: One woman got the surprise of her life when she found a breathing ball of fur inside her Christmas tree. It turned out to be a possum. While initially shocked, she managed to safely remove the possum from the tree and moved it to a new location. However, the possum had other plans and went under the sofa, resulting in a comical pursuit reminiscent of an NFL player tackling an opponent. The fate of the possum remains unknown, but this incident surely provided a memorable Christmas story for this woman and her loved ones. Lost Ring Found in a Vacuum Cleaner: In a tale of lost and found, a guest at the Ritz Hotel in Paris was reunited with her lost ring worth three quarters of a million euros. After suspecting that an employee had stolen it, the guest filed a police complaint. However, to everyone's surprise, the ring was discovered in a vacuum cleaner's dust bag by the vigilant security guards at the Ritz. While the hotel offered additional nights of stay to make up for the inconvenience, the guest declined, expressing her gratitude to the hotel staff for their professionalism and integrity.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5747537/advertisement

On August 31, 1997, Princess Diana was traveling with then partner Dodi Fayed, an Egyptian Film Producer. Dodi was the son of Mohamed Al-Fayed, a billionaire who owned the Hotel Ritz in Paris, as well as Harrod's Department Store and Fulham Football Club. Princess Diana and Fayed left the Ritz Hotel in Paris, just after midnight, accompanied by her bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones, and her driver Henri Paul. While reportedly fleeing paparazzi, her Mercedes crashed into a concrete pillar in the Alma Tunnel going 60-90 mph. Princess Diana, Fayed, and Paul all died, while bodyguard Rees-Jones was critically injured but survived. At the time of her death, Princess Diana was perhaps the most famous woman in the world, and was in a public battle with the royal family - having divulged intimate details of her marriage which were potentially embarrassing to the monarchy. A French court ruled in 1999 that the crash was caused by Diana's driver who was reportedly drunk and speeding. A three year British Inquiry led by Metropolitan Police Chief John Stevens, agreed with the findings, as did a 2007 inquest with London's Royal Courts of Justice. Despite these findings, questions remain… and there are a plethora of theories that the death may have been orchestrated by the Royal Family.

Having worked with Stéphane Denève on a project together in the summer of 2022, I knew he would be a brilliant guest and a very interesting person to chat with. It helped that we had become friends very quickly indeed! I discovered who his "Yoda" was, he gave a really brilliant answer to Question 7 that I just did not see coming, and I heard how an experience in the "night bar" of the Ritz Hotel, Paris, changed his life! Here is a link to Stéphane's website to see the video we discuss of him assisting Sir Georg Solti in London -https://www.stephanedeneve.com/video/ If you would like to discover a whole lot more about conductors and conducting, why not subscribe at https://www.patreon.com/amiconthepodium, and, for a monthly fee starting from just £5 a month, you can access two new series of interviews, group Zoom meetings with other fans of the podcast and myself, a monthly bulletin about the podcast and my own career as well as articles, photos, videos and even conducting lessons from myself.

In today's episode, we want to look at a news article that appeared today, 8 September 2022. I think it almost suggests that more people should listen to price in college because I suppose fundamentally it looks at some of the most very basic pricing thoughts or strategies that I think that anyone in business or even the media should know. So, I think I'll just give a brief intro to it. On a radio station, 2GB in Sydney, the presenter Jim Wilson grilled the pub entrepreneur Justin Haimes on the new Allianz stadiums beer prices and said that they're too expensive because they were more expensive than in the largest bar and discount off license store or bottleshop as they call them in Australia. So I think we just want to look at that and discuss what we can draw from it. It was an interesting one because I suppose the radio host, Jim Wilson was trying to act as the voice of the customer. In some way was trying to sort of accuse Justin Haimes sort of, like, overpricing the beer at the stadium. In a way overcharging because he knew we had a captive audience that couldn't go anywhere else. And often, in pricing, you hear that sort of that fear, that sort of allegation being cast upon the pricing manager and also the reason for discounting. Oh, we think we're overcharging our customers and therefore, its price overrides in the system and discounts occur and go down, more and more until one asked, “ what is the right price as we undersell offers?” So interesting in that way. They thought it was representing the voice of the customer giving examples that the customers thought the beer and the hot dog were way too expensive. Why was it $9 I think the base price of $9.50 and he was charging $10.20? And how extortionate that was for his beer. In Australia is supposed to be in every man's type of beer. It's the standard drink and he was weighing that is way too much for that the average punter to pay. Especially I suppose in a way that they're paying for the football prices that what they're going to see it's not a cheap night. You can hear the justifications and they're fair. I suppose in response Justin Haimes was like saying “well, the cost of operations for my business to be able to supply the stadium, the production, the staff involved, is not similar to that of Dan Murphy”. It's a different business model. Dan Murphy's is the like a supermarket for sort of fairly standard drinks, very different business model. But what I thought was interesting is that they both resorted to justifying the prices by looking at the cost. Justin Haimes was like applauded for his response there, but I thought it was quite limited. Who cares what his cost of operations is? Should customer care? Surely he should have been justifying the higher prices by the value it brings to the customer, and neither of them went there. I think though, that Jim Wilson, the radio presenter was trying to get, that you shouldn't charge based on willingness to pay. But I don't think he had a thorough understanding of the principles of pricing to be able to say that quite clearly to Justin Haimes. But I just thought it was really interesting how they just both devolved into the age-old oak cost, or different business models a bit limited. So I didn't think it was a great response. I suppose it highlights a lot of the very low-grade journalism that I suppose Australia has and, and other countries. I think if people are asking dumb questions, you're gonna get dumb answers. I think we've seen that certainly through COVID and over the last number of years. I think society is yeah, it's almost like people are just scoring points with ridiculous questions and you won't get a good answer. There's certainly not going to be any intellectual rigour with these debates. Look, I think clearly, anybody in the right mindset will understand that if you go to a fancy restaurant, if you go to the Ritz Hotel or the fancy hotels like Carlton or fancy hotel names, clearly you're gonna pay more for a drink, a gin and tonic etc than you would in a dive bar. There's cater to different establishments. There's a different value being provided. This new football stadium is being built. I think it's the one in Moorpark that replaced the old city football stadium. And I think clearly like a billion dollars or more spent on this facility. It's to be the best and the brightest and to attract international acts, and international sporting events. To create an atmosphere of the real off-market, a real great night out international standard. I don't know if I agree with the bulldozing of a perfectly fine stadium and rebuilding another one on the same site. But I think they're competing. They're not just competing now with Satan in Sydney or Australia. They're competing with facilities in North America. People to talk about some of these big American football stadiums or the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, where they're trying to attract international events, international concerts. Justin Haimes doesn't run dive bars. He runs the Maryville Chain and they own those upmarket and fancy establishments in Sydney. They're not selling fancy drinks. Is it drinks they're selling or is it an experience? Is it exclusivity? What is the value they're selling? And those are the questions that I suppose you want to look at. The question I suppose you could ask is, Is that the right person to be? Is that the right style and value to be selling drinks? What is a football stadium in theory, whereby traditionally at least football, different versions of football were the everyman sport? That everyone could go bring their kids and have a beer whatever it was a social sizzle you noticed cheap and accessible. Is there an incongruence there that Copiah valid point, but like at the end of the day, once you bring in a fancy of market business, such as that don't expect to get Hungry Jacks or it's not just selling a hotdog at the back of a truck. So, what is the value we're selling? What is the value people are buying? There's a whole number of questions that aren't even being acknowledged that they exist, let alone discussed. So the stadium itself could have more of a premium pricing strategy. Life in Sydney is good, it's sort of trying to increase it's in a nice area of town. It's very exclusive and they're just trying to align with the city and where it's going in the future. Then you've got the customer, the fans who maybe travel quite a few miles out from suburbs into the city. May have a completely different lifestyle. Don't have that type of spend, but they frequently go to like football, and they're surprised. So there's a dissonance there between his business strategy, their market, and the customer. Have they looked into that segmentation? Or, are they just trying to hope and migrate people into that sort of more premium pricing strategy by just dazzling them with a great shiny new stadium or a large ray of drinks and food that potentially they don't want? They just want the standard. They don't care as much maybe for the more premium lagers and ales. You're right, it could be the choice of vendors, and the business strategy potentially is misaligned with the market. The people that are going are average families. They're thinking it's hard enough to pay for the tickets because those ticket prices are going up, as we've discussed before as well up and down using dynamic pricing. And now on top of this, we've been given this premium pricing strategy for an offer that we don't want. Now, this could be all signs that trying to educate the customer about this new business strategy, or it could be dragging them into it. It's kind of a difficult one to discuss now. Because families are under huge amounts of pressure with interest rates, increasing inflation, food prices increasing and now even leisure prices or just doing something, with your family, everything's just going up. So it might be the wrong timing. But in terms of this particular article, I would have liked to hear the justification for a higher price point is about the value it delivers to customers. The convenience of having a nice beer at the stadium has the option to have a beer and a lovely burger as you sit to see your favourite team play. I mean, for some people, they're willing to pay for it, for others they're not. They'll just bring their flask bottle of water and the sandwiches, I suppose. I mean, that's a segmentation of sorts, but a total disregard for if, let's say, Jim Wilson was speaking on behalf of the customer. Whether it aligned with your business strategy or not or whether you agree with it as a business leader, it doesn't matter. There's an element of truth and untruth in everything that we hear. And it should be recognised that potentially, willingness to pay isn't as high as they thought. So what are they going to do to change that? That'd be an interesting transition plan. Maybe change their assortment, change their range, maybe change the menu, who knows? But hopefully, a radio presenter will ask better questions and maybe speak on behalf of the customer in a more educated fashion. I'm going to disagree on this I think he answered it in the best way for him. The 2GB is not a shock jock station but as a talkback tends to be a little bit right-wing, tends to be popular, and tends to know at all journalists want to who have a certain core audience who likes to complain about the world. Again, that's a little bit that's just my personal views. There's some good stuff on it too, from time to time. But realistically, if you're trying to hold yourself up, Jim Wilson, as the populace, the everyman that champions of the people, like I don't know if Haimes coming on and talking about the value. The listeners on that show probably aren't his audience. They're probably not the people who will be buying drinks on Saturday night at the nightclub or one of these other bars. And so I suppose it's a political protect yourself. Maybe writers to defend themselves. He's not there to educate because clearly, that's not something he can do. He clearly understands value, he is doing very well and understands the value of hospitality. You know, is that the argument of the discussion that this show wants to have? I think you're probably better off arguing along these lines. You're not going to sell any more products, so I think it's better to get out of that ambush by playing the game that they want you to play. Fair enough he is completely legitimate costs would be infinitely different. They're not even chalk and cheese. It's just a completely different life form from running quite a bit of supermarket for alcohol versus a fancy place that sells drinks for football games and concerts. So his point is completely valid. I think he clearly understands the value of stuff. I think he clearly understands segmenting his market. I think those are sort of my views on it. I don't think just sort of highlights a little bit of like some of the common in some certainly in businesses that people think everyone thinks they have a pricing view, and this is what happens, people think they know everything about pricing, when in some ways that don't even know the first thing. You have to get that lightbulb moment where you can move this person from. They want is very uneducated communication to something that's starting to move them along the line to be educated on the topic that is an expert environment. But again, I say who's running the multimillion-dollar business as Jim Wilson or is it Justin hammers? I suppose it can be a bit typical sort of response that we hear in boardrooms all the time. Like, if you're going to talk to customers, you're going to appeal to them and make them think differently, especially if you've got a different business strategy than using the old my cost structure versus your cost structure leads to that. I'm just thinking about procurement here. It's like, “oh we think your prices are too high or show me your costs”. Okay, my business model is completely different. So I've got a different cost structure so I will show you. Even that was the devolution of the conversation. He was going to show the radio presenter what it was like to run a business in a stadium. I mean, there's like opened up costings. Again, it's a bit tedious. I mean, I actually would like to change the conversation, and break it up a bit. Tell us what is the value here. What are the benefits we're gonna get? Re-educate me on something positive, like, yeah, I want to know why. It's great to go out and have that extra good experience. You tell me you're gonna give me an even better experience. Well, great justify that but that's not only justification is a good marketing opportunity. It just removes the stale sort of conversation around costs. And going back to that it just makes the experience the same old. So actually, we're talking about experience in the stadium. It's all so the price is based on your experience as a business owner, implementing and delivering this service to me I don't care I want this to be about me. I'm willing to pay a higher price if you're telling me that it's going to be exceptional. Is it exceptional? So I think I disagree with you on this one. I think any opportunity is a great opportunity to market and especially based on value because it's always positive. If it's not positive, then you've got something to worry about. And if you're not going to talk about it, the fans will find out and the customers will find out soon enough.

В централното студио на Дарик радио е Шеф Илиан Кустев. Усеща се вкус на позитивизъм. След като е продал ресторанта си след участието във "Фермата", той влиза в ново поприще с неговите партньори Иван Райков и Венци Костадинов. Кустев е кулинарен консултант на най-хубавите сирена, кашкавали и млечни продукти. Работата му е да информира за спецификата им, за да имат повече продажби. Първата му работа е била на автомивка. На 18 години отива в Холандия с надеждата да се занимава професионало с футбол. Не остава там задълго, но се запознава с много качествени продукти. Работата му го среща с шеф Андре Токев. Работили са заедно четири години, в които модерната кулинария проходи в България. В Лондон е част от екипа на шеф Джон Уилиямс в петзвездния Ritz Hotel. В Англия получава завършек, за да бъде истински добъур готвач. Висшата лига е там. "Много редовен наш гост беше „Желязната лейди“ - Маргарет Тачър. Дейвид и Фредерик Баркли също ни посещаваха често. Те ядяха много диетично - зеленчуци, паста и трюфели. Ведъж Брад Пит поиска омлет от белтъци. Тиганите бяха изключително залепващи. След тази поръчка се събраха главните готвачи, мятат се тигани като по филмите. В един момент всички излязоха. И аз останах сам и го забърках. След 30 минути получих 50 паунда бакшиш от Брад Пит. Каза, че омлетът е страшен и тогава се издигнах в очите на слепите", сподели Шеф Кустев. "Веднъж трябваше да приготвя официален обяд за Ердоган. Идва лист с неговата заявка и накрая пише: фреш от картоф. Помислих си, че не съм видял правилно, но го направих. Като стане Ердоган, обядът приключва. 150 човека останаха гладни. Случвало се е да готя и за бившия премиер Бойко Борисов, който много обича свински ушички и субпродукти", сподели още той.

I came to France years ago after completing a B.A. in French to study at a 200-year-old French business school. My business career centered around corporate and private banking in Paris.I love many things in French culture: food, artisan-made products, and history.My interest in food was developed by observing French home cooks and taking weekend and evening classes at the Ritz Hotel's cooking school in Paris.Since 2015, I'm an amateur judge of French artisan-made food products for France's National Agricultural Fair. I'm also married to a FrenchmanI started a blog 3 years ago to encourage readers who are bored with take-out and processed food to up-level their home-cooking by using tips I've learned in France. I try to communicate to readers the French approach to food: that if you use great ingredients, you don't have to do much with them to have a healthy meal, full of good flavors.Nancy ConwayGourmet Food ExpertFrench Food Blogger | nancyconwayparis@gmail.com | https://www.nancyconway.com/Video course:"The Finest of France Cooking Essentials Course"https://www.nancyconway.com/the-finest-of-france-cooking-essentials-course/ Free "French Pantry Checklist"https://nancyconway.carrd.co/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/join/Laviecreative)
In the latest episode of 3VB Speaks, Hefin Rees QC and Cleon Catsambis discuss a recent case they were instructed in on behalf of Sir Frederick Barclay and his daughter, against other members of the Barclay family, following the discovery of a covert audio recording device at The Ritz Hotel in London where Sir Frederick would hold business meetings relating to the Barclay business empire. These conversations captured highly confidential and commercially-sensitive business information, as well as some meetings between Sir Frederick and his lawyers. The various court hearings that took place in London in which both Hefin and Cleon acted for the Claimants attracted a significant amount of press coverage, including television, radio, and all newspaper outlets. Their conversation focuses on the use of a Doorstep Delivery Up Order as an unusual means of obtaining information from the defendants.

Hey guys, Well we are doing a show on Prohibition as we usually do every year. This show is usually in January but with Covid and us coming out of lockdown, we thought it's like Prohibition for us. Even breaking the law (Judas Priest for you metal fans out there)! This episode we talk about the Sidecar cocktail was created actually in France by Harry McElhone at the Ritz Hotel back in 1922. The sidecar was the way the American Captain's would get to the bar for the early drinks. Harry McElhone was a Scottish born who then immigrated to USA and then when Prohibition started he headed to France. With this move to Europe, it gave him the opportunity to work with new spirits and ingredients that he would have not be available to him in USA. This cocktail contains Cognac (French brandy …distilled wine) and Cointreau (French orange liqueur). To get this recipe go to: https://tikicentralcanada.ca/recipes/ On "Mark's Adventures" segment: we talk about the Kowloon which is close to Boston. Yeah Boston!!! It is a Chinese restaurant that was converted into what they classify as a tiki bar with a 1200 seat capacity (That's right). It also has 300 menu items including the famous PuPu platter (not poo poo...and yes don't google that as Paola did). On "Did you know?" segment: We go more in-depth on Prohibition details. How did it start? Who organized these groups to get the ball rolling: wives, factory owners, politicians, and even the KKK. World War I was even part of the reason for Prohibition due to the anti-German movement.

“Paris is a city made for spending money, there’s temptation around every corner.” That’s a quote from Leah Walker, this week’s guest, a luxury travel writer who knows Paris inside out. She joins me in the studio to explain how to have an extravagant trip in Paris. But, even if you’re not in a position to go all in (join the club), then there are still a few good tips in there for how to splurge without spending too much. Of course, as always, listen to the podcast episode for the full picture. We also talk about Shakespeare, Texas, and basketball. But if you’re in a hurry to get to Paris and spend your money then here are three of the main tips to get you going: Shop during the sales You can save mega euros by waiting until the twice-a-year government regulated sales (or soldes), which take place in July-August and January- February. The savings can be beyond 50 percent, even at the big department stores. And if you’re not living in the EU, you can get the VAT refunded (12 percent) if you spend more than 175 euros in one day. More info on that here, via Galeries Lafayette Eat lunch (not dinner) at a good restaurant A fancy dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris with have you salivating, but it might it might also leave you in tears if you look at the prices. Leah recommends that you stop in for lunch instead, when it’s typically less crowded and a lot cheaper. Look out for the set menus in the low season, like January and February, and you’ll find some great savings. Go to a Palace Hotel for a cocktail Yes, you can go to the Ritz Hotel for just 30 euros. I mean, you won’t be staying the night, but you’ll be in a very luxurious setting with a great cocktail for a few hours. Some of the hotels mentioned in the episode: Georges V, the Ritz, Le Meurice. Four Seasons, Shangri-La, the Bristol. They’re the tips. Listen to the show for the full story and be sure to follow Leah on her site Leah Travels here. Now, at the end of the episode you will hear Leah and I agreeing to do a live video at the Place Dauphine in Paris. Good news – it’s going to happen! We will be strolling the charming square then seeing it from above from the terrace of a beautiful apartment from rental company Paris Perfect, where Leah also works.

In the early 1980s, British chef Michael Quinn was at the height of his game. A celebrity in his own right, Michael oversaw the kitchen at London's Ritz Hotel and was internationally renowned. But a few years later, everything vanished. Michael's struggle with alcoholism eventually cost him his job, his home and his family. Now sober for many years, he is dedicated to raising awareness about addiction and helping others in the hospitality industry via the organization he founded called ArkGlobal. I spoke to him by telephone.
