Big brands making a splash with apples
Locally Sourced, 03 February 2011

What’s that apple orchard-y smell in the corporate air? I have no idea actually, but something’s up. This week, I received a special ‘little breakfast treat’ from the super juice and smoothies folk at Innocent Drinks as well as an ‘exclusive invitation’ from AB InBev UK (the makers of Stella Artois) to attend the unveiling of one of Stella’s ‘most significant innovations in recent years … an eye-opening event … to celebrate … exciting news’.

Guru Event: Wine, Cheese and Elegance at Cafe du Marche

… the best cheeses are those “stroked by French troglodytes” for several months and that “violence and hatred toward your neighbours” is “alive and well in the world of cheese”.

Burns Night Menu Review: Blueprint Cafe at the Design Museum
Londonist, January 25, 2011 at 13:00 pm

Until the 30^th of January £17.50 gets visitors to the Design Museum’s Blueprint Cafe a Burns Night feast of yummy proportions and proper Scottish favour. A candlelit, riverside window sampling (upon invitation by the restaurant) of the menu pleased our palates thoroughly, while a few bites from the non-Burns menu had us keen to return for more.

Chefspective: Marcellin Marc, Head Chef at Clos Maggiore
Londonist, January 20, 2011 at 14.30 pm

All but blown away with chef Marcellin Marc’s ‘ultimate chocolate menu‘ back in October, we’ve kept his Covent Garden French restaurant, Clos Maggiore, in mind over the months, often remembering fondly delectable elements of the meal, the quality of service and Clos Maggiore’s lovely conservatory. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we thought now would be a good time to have a chat with Marcellin and find out what he thinks makes Clos Maggiore such an esteemed, romantic and delicious place to dine.
