cooking dinner

This is not your usual cooking video. There is great camera angles, straightforward recipes, and old French music playing in the background. The meal is a simple but elegant duck breast, roast potatoes, and salad with lemon and olive oil. By William Hereford. (You can watch it in HD is you click "vimeo".

Another amazing restaurant by Daniel Boulud. I love the ambiance and, of course, the menu! Contemporary French dining.

vosges rose truffles

My favorite chocolate company-- Vosges, has released these new truffles just in time for Valentine's Day. Piper Heisieck brut rose Champagne, and 65% dark chocolate ganache rolled in rose bud poudre. The box comes with 12 of the truffles, and make sure to eat them within  4 days because they're made with all organic ingredients and real cream, so it perishes very quickly. It's never been a problem for me! Link: $40

green t house

The Green T. House in Beijing is both a spa and restaurant. They also have a wonderfully designed website that you should browse around for a few minutes; it's very energizing. The interior and exterior spaces as well as the spa has won many awards. This would make a very relaxing vacation.

peyton and byrne chocolate

Great packaging and great chocolate for these Peyton and Byrne chocolate bars. Designed by Farrow.

12

If you have ever been to the Gotham Bar & Grill then you have probably heard of this before, because it was created by Alfred Portale. 12 is a blend of teas and juices, and it sparkles. It isn't sweet and it has a subtle peppery finish. Link: $93 (for 12 750ml bottles)

2010 michelin guide w/ daniel boulud

Have you seen Daniel Boulud's flagship restaurant menu? It is down right amazing, and it earned him three Michelin stars this year. Yes, three. If you haven't eaten there you should. It's enough to make me take a trip to New York City just to eat there.
