An Expat Decodes Parisian Life
Anyone who loves Paris will love Jane Bertch's new book The French Ingredient. And any small business owner will be inspired by the grit and determination it took for her to establish a cooking school in the epi center of fine cuisine.

By Beverly Stephen Paris is always a good idea. Yes, for a vacation. Yes, for a honeymoon. Yes, for a […]

Virtuoso Performance
Award wining actor Laurence Fishburne gets personal in his new one man show "Like They Do in the Movies" at the Perleman Performing Arts Center through March 31. Each sketch, whether about his own rather complicated childhoor or an invented character, is riveting. It's an amazing feat to be able to hold an audience (me intcluced) spellbound for over two hours.
And in case you get hungry you can grab a delicious bite at Metropolis by Marcus Samuelsson.
Metropolis by Marcus Samuelsson

For decades, actor Laurence Fishburne has dazzled audiences with iconic roles in ‘The Matrix’ and ‘John Wick.’ But his latest project may be his most vulnera...

Ready for St. Patrick's Day?
I've already had my Irish Soda Bread. Thanks to Tourism Ireland and Bog & Thunder, a lovely pre-St, Patrick's Day lunch at April Bloomfield's new hotspot Sailor in Brooklyn featured Ballymaloe breasds, wild smoked Irish salmon, a succulent pork loin and a traditional Carrageen Moss pudding. Guest of honor chef Darina Allen of Ballymaloe Cookery School charmed guests and encouraged them to try baking the famous soda bread themselves. She provided a copy of her new Ballymaloe Bread Book to everyone to make sure they had the recipe. It's so simple she says "You wouldn't have found your car keys and be back from the shops by the time it's baked!"
Happy St. Patricks Day!

Sad Goodbye
The food world has lost a great chef with the passing of David Bouley. He was a true pioneer of fine dining in New York, of farm to table, and a mentor to many. His restaurant was magical. It felt like stepping in the South of France. He will be missed.

He helped define New York fine dining, usher in the farm-to-table movement, and mentor a new generation of chefs

Save Room for Dessert
Fabulous festive lunch today at L'Avenue at Saks. Congrats to the RA team for this lovely menu and experience. And Pastry chef Stefanie Oliviera knocks it out of the park with her decadent desserts like the fig pavlova with fig compote and the Ornament--a dark chocolate orb willed with eucalyptus ice cream and pured over peppermint chocolate sauce. The artichoke, tomato, hazelnut, and green bean salad was a perfect foil.

New Performing Arts Center with an exciting restaurant for Lower Manhattan
Marcus Samuelsson will open Metropolis, a restaurant celebrating the cuisine of the city's five boroughs, in the new Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC). Can't wait to see this menu!

By Beverly Stephen New York City has a brand-new tourist attraction. The Perelman Performing Arts Center, now called PAC NYC, was inaugurated on September 13 not by a ribbon cutting but by a ribbon “connecting.” The idea is that the arts connect the community, and the past connects to the

By Beverly Stephen The corn predictably “looks like it’s climbing up to the sky.” The tomatoes are as sweet as candy. The beaches are heavenly. The snail’s pace traffic is hellish. It’s August in The Hamptons. Just as predictably, everybody—or at least a good portion of New Yorkers looki...

Courchevel Cuisine
Two chefs from this French ski enclave brought some fantastic flavors to Daniel Boulud's Le Pavillon Thursday. Chefs Jean-Remi Caillon and Pieter Riedijk prepared split peas with pork belly, mousseline of trout with chard and dll butter (lots of butter) and a fantastic poached apricot dessert with pineapple, passion fruit and Mandarin orange sorbet. Apparently French skiers don't slow down for just a sandwich.

By Beverly Stephen Is it okay to admit we basically went to Rome to eat? We did meet up with some family for a reunion, but by unanimous consent, it was a pasta-fueled one. Blame it on Stanley Tucci. His “Searching for Italy” series stirred up cravings. We did manage
