Mozzarella Month at Sartoria, Savile Row
The masterclass – conducted by Head Chef Lukas Pfaff and his mozzarella supplier, Andrea Livi of Bianca la Bufala – was a delicious opportunity to sample fresh and top of the line mozzarella di buffala along with a range of similar southern Italian cheeses such as smoky scamorza, proper pizza topper fiordilatte, and gorgeously creamy burrata.

A Beguiling Ode to Great Britain at Alvin Leung’s Bo London (CDCLifestyle)
It’s been a little over a month now, yet I still find myself carrying on about how lovely my dining experience at Bo London was. I’ve enjoyed a fair number of fine meals since but, still, something about my time there lingers. Odds are my dinner will go down as the best meal of the year. And if not, well then, the rest of 2013 promises to be one of exquisite culinary delight. Continue reading

Butchery Classes at the Ginger Pig (Great British Chefs)
With two decades in the business and five butcher shops throughout London selling rare breed meat reared across more than 3,000 acres of the North York Moors, The Ginger Pig is one of the best known and most highly respected bands of butchers in all of Britain.

In Conversation with Dan Witz (Whitehot Magazine of Contemporary Art)
I’ve always enjoyed working in London. Next to NYC, it’s my favorite city for doing street art The light in both places is similar, a soft, post-industrial gloom that seems to suit the emotional temperature of my work. Also, when you get up close in London there’s a grit in the pores that’s exactly the same as New York’s. Since usually I’m using a NYC grate, my pieces transfer well, and feel like they belong.

In Parma … in London
Just under a year old, Fitzrovia restaurant, In Parma, has been bleeping wildly on my foodie radar all this time.

Dan Witz: Prisoners 2012 – 2013 at Lazarides Rathbone
The attention to detail, the intense concentration that goes into his paintings, his incredible command of light: Dan Witz produces amazingly photorealistic artwork with an urban edge, a sinister sense of humour and an Old Master’s application of considerable skill and technique. Continue reading
