New Year’s Eve in Iceland

New Year’s Eve need not be over rated, anti-climatic and overpriced. Having spent the last six years in different cities, from London, to Orlando, Las Vegas, New York and Abu Dhabi, we love finding a new destination to enjoy the celebrations of New Years Eve. To ring in 2016 we picked Iceland. Iceland has to be one of […]

Fire & Ice -The Best of Iceland

A trip to Iceland was booked slightly naively, solely to hunt for the Northern Lights. Then realisation dawned that if we didn’t see them it would be a pretty disastrous trip. Fortunately Iceland has so much more to offer, than just the Northern Lights, so much so, we almost forgot they were the sole purpose […]

Time’s Square Ball Drop, New Year’s Eve, New York

Ringing in the New Year, 2015, in New York was amazing. The infamous Ball Drop has to be the place to be in Manhattan on New Year’s Eve. It can be slightly overwhelming trying to figure out the logistics of being in the heart of it all. One million people packed into Time’s Square last […]

Fischteich Lech

12 August 2016

Food & Drink

Sitting at the foothills of the Alps, besides the fish pond in Zug, the Fischteich Lech is not to be missed. With a traditional, wooden chalet feel, there’s something rather cosy and quaint about this restaurant. One can’t help but feel like you have been transported back in time. Although this restaurant is renowned for it’s fish, it seemed the perfect opportunity to try the Kasenodelsuppe- a traditional Austrian cheese dumpling soup. The soft, semolina dumplings sandwiched together with cheese, tossed into a piping hot clear broth , were surprisingly light and delicious. All the fish on the menu is freshly caught daily, and it really seems to make a remarkable difference to the flavour. Accompanied by a rainbow salad, the buttery pan-fried trout had a perfectly crispy skin. Served on a bed of spaghetti, alongside a tomato sauce, this dish was cooked to perfection. The freshness of the fish really turned a humble dish into something special. The Kaiserchmarren were recommended as a local favourite, not to be missed. When there are pancakes on offer, there’s not much persuasion required for dessert. From the moment the warm, sugar dusted balls of pancake were brought to the table, came a gentle, sweet aroma. The pancakes are rather moreish, especially when doused with the sweet apple and plum compoted. Served on a platter made for […] 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)

London’s Top New Attraction: ArcelorMittal Orbit

9 September 2016

Events

Nestled amongst the skyscrapers of Stratford, stands proud the ArcelorMittal Orbit designed by Sir Anish Kapoor. The tall, bright red helical structure has become an established part of the Stratford skyline since its installation by renowned artist Carsten Höller in the run up to the Olympics in 2012. The ArcelorMittal Orbit holds the title of Britain’s largest sculpture and excitingly has been updated to house the world’s tallest and longest tunnel slide. As one gets closer to the Orbit, the sheer scale of the art piece and slide dawns. Just looking up will make you dizzy. So although you could opt to climb over four hundred steps, fortunately there’s a lift to the top. The views of London from the top are breath-taking. With unprecedented views of the Shard, the tall skyscrapers of Canary Wharf and West Ham United football club in the adjacent London Stadium. The air of excitement amongst those eagerly waiting to go down the slide is undeniable. Once padded up with elbow protectors and not so glamorous helmets, it’s time to go down the slide. It’s a relief to hear that nobody has ever got stuck in the slide; it is supposedly impossible! With an overwhelming […] 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)

Hotel Chocolat Boucan, St Lucia

17 June 2016

Food & Drink Honeymoons Weddings

I distinctly remember the day I first heard about Hotel Chocolat and feeing excited there was a chocolate hotel. Until reality struck that it was in fact the name of a premium chocolate brand. Although delighted by their chocolate there was always a slight disappointment that the Hotel Chocolat was merely an illusion of my imagination for a number of years. That was until recently discovering there was in fact a Hotel Chocolat in St Lucia. The hotel I had dreamt about existing for years. Eat, breathe and sleep chocolate in the Caribbean. That’s my idea of bliss. So with many holiday destinations being picked on a whim of the cuisine I felt like having, this one was no different. I love chocolate so it’s almost non-sensicle to not at least go and try the chocolate experience I’d been searching for. After a stomach churning, windy ocean drive, up and down through rainforests and volcanos. Passing shabby huts on stilts, one arrives in chocolate paradise. Hotel Chocolat’s Boucan is like no other. The Rabot Estate cocoa plantation is set high in the rainforest with unprecedented, breathtaking views overlooking the pitons. The surrounding scenery is rather dramatic and picturesque. A boutique hotel with merely thirteen […] 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)

Salon Du Chocolat Chocolate Show, Olympia London

18 October 2015

Events Food & Drink

A chocolate show has to be a chocolate lover’s dream come true. With chocolate literally available on tap by Venchi, it was chocolate heaven. We were spoilt for choice with artisan delights from across the globe. Paul A Young’s salted caramel brownies are all the rage. The layers of ribbons of salted caramel on a moist brownie with a marvellous hot molten chocolate middle, are pure perfection. Chocolate has come a long way, with printed artisan chocolates and chocolate sculptures. 3D chocolate printers by Choc Edge seem to be the future for chocolate creations. With Bad Brownie, Rococo Chocolate and award winning The Highland Chocolatier, we were rather spoilt for choice. And then we spotted the perfect solution, Cocoa Runners, chocolate subscription service. We couldn’t resist and are rather excited about receiving our selection of artisan chocolates in the post every month, and think this would make a great gift. With tasting corners and live theatre the Chocolate Show was cocoa filled fun. The showstopper had to be the Chocolate Fashion Show, with dresses good enough to eat.
