Is The New York Café the Most Beautiful Café in the World?

Is The New York Café the Most Beautiful Café in the World?

Celebrations Food & Drink

The New York Café is referred to as “the most beautiful café in the world.” So if that doesn’t set expectations high- what does? Having visited some interesting cafe’s over the years in Japan, we really did not know what to expect. Slightly sceptical initially, we were in fact completely blown away. It is most definitely worthy of it’s title. The Budapest café is by far, the most beautiful café, we have ever visited in the entire world. The New York Palace dates back to the 1890’s when the Café was the most popular coffee house in Budapest. Destroyed in the war, in 2006 it was restored to it’s former glory as the Boscolo Budapest Hotel. The Boscolo group are renowned for their five star properties, which are as luxurious and lavish as they are unique and full of character. The hotel is stylish with a stunning atrium. The New York Café can only be described as resembling the inside of an ornate cathedral or grand concert hall. The Renaissance style café has beautiful paintings on the ceilings, with a piano heard echoing throughout. It’s so calm and tranquil with “Somewhere over the rainbow” being played. It’s a rather surreal venue, that is ideal for a romantic celebration, be […] ShareClick to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)

The Cooking Academy, Rickmansworth

The Cooking Academy, Rickmansworth

Food & Drink

One can’t help but dream about the bustling Damnoen Saduak Floating Market at the mention of Thai cuisine. A cherished memory of being on a long boat, absorbing the aromas of amazing food whilst nibbling on pork, satay and Pad Thai. A day at The Cooking Academy actually enabled us to recreate these fond memories of Thailand with a Chaing Mai inspired menu. Lovely Kumud imparted pearls of wisdom and terrific tips throughout the day. Appreciating good food really does require an understanding of properties, aromas, and tastes. From demystifying the chilli spectrum to tasting raw ingredients such as galangal, turmeric, and cinnamon; it was all part of understanding the flavours being cooked with. Sniffing the pungent shrimp pastes and fish sauces to gauge how even these scents can be balanced and absorbed by a dish, whilst miraculously enhancing the taste. Destemming kaffir lime leaves to release their beautiful aroma and nipping cuts in Lemongrass for it’s fragrance, was clearly the key secret. As much as we love fine dining there’s something rather satisfying about cooking up a storm in the kitchen. Especially in someone else’s kitchen, which means no washing up! The recipes were all simple and achieved mouth-watering results. The Prawn Toast, was light, and crispy with a perfect sesame crunch. The succulent pork on lemongrass […] ShareClick to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)

Lumiere London

17 January 2016

Events

London’s illuminated by the Artichoke Trust, in a free four day light festival from 14th until 17th Januray 2016. We were handed some maps and went in search of the light installations. Braving the cold were thousands of people with the same idea. January is usually quiet in London but it almost felt like it was the peak of New Year’s Eve. The free event that injected culture and colour to the city really drew in the crowds. Clutching our map it took us back to being a child on a treasure hunt. The roads were all closed to traffic and the roads pedestrianized and swarming. There was a great vibe and London felt alive with a kaleidoscope of colour. With art pieces all over the city we started on Oxford Street and marvelled at the multi-coloured “London, by Echelman”. We walked through Regent Street spotting illuminated stick men crawling up and down the buildings to music in “Keyframes, by Group Lapse and Thomas Veyssiere. At Liberty we caught a glimpse of the fabulous “Desses, by Tae gon KIM.” Dodging crowds we managed to get to Carnaby Sreet which is always has some light installations. But hundreds flocked to see the moving […] ShareClick to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)

#HolidayHype

Honeymoons

It’s rather shocking that merely 31% of people get excited when packing for a holiday, and 1 in 3 women actually worry about their weight whilst they’re on holiday, according to a recent YouGov survey. Holidays should always be exciting and are the sole purpose of our existence. We love using birthdays and anniversary celebrations as an excuse to travel, as this makes them even more memorable. We are supporting Europa Pharmacy to change the conversation about getting holiday ready; away from body image and back onto getting excited about your fabulous getaway. We love travelling and so here’s our #HolidayHype as we jet off on our next adventure. Our #HolidayHype never really ends. The moment we set foot on the aeroplane to return from our last holiday, we eagerly start planning our next trip. On return from a city break in Venice, it was decided our next adventure would be in the Caribbean. Enthusiastic about planning a tropical retreat, imagine the delight when we learnt, there’s a hotel in St Lucia set in the rainforest, amidst a cocoa plantation overlooking the Pitons and the Caribbean Sea. It really can’t get better than that, can it? As chocolate lovers, this is our idea of bliss.
