Eating healthy is a daily battle that most of us loose at the end of the day. Our days turn out to be so hectic, that sometimes we don’t worry about what we put in our mouths, and salads seem to be the perfect choice for a healthy and fast meal… but this is not always true.

Yes, it good to eat fruits and vegetables, but we also need to keep in mind our need for carbs, protein, fiber, and more. The use of seeds, nuts, and beans in salads is extremely helpful in contributing with protein, fiber, minerals and great flavors that we all need. Have fun mixing up colors when preparing your salads, but be smart when adding dressings, oils, cheeses and croutons because most of these are unnecessary and simply add more fat.

There are few things in life like the soothing and tranquilizing aroma of tea, especially after a stressful day – or just because you like the fabulousness of it. No wonder why in so many countries, tea turns into an aromatic and tasty party every afternoon. From Asian to European cafés, restaurants and even Super Markets; sometimes accompanied by a tasty croissant or pain au chocolat, or simply by itself.

The other time I had the amazing opportunity to try a South-American tea, which left me wanting more. The mixture of flavors from dry fruits, flowers and exclusive fresh spices makes this an exquisite experience for everyone’s palate, even if you’re not a big fan of tea. Fall for the enticing aroma of tea, every now and then. It’s worth the fall.

The big question of the week is “what does one wear to the Fat Duck?” I only have one answer, vintage.! The bigger question is by who?

Dare to take a glimpse into the past era of clothing,  dare to revisit the realm built by acclaimedfashion designers such as Coco Chanel, Jean Paul Gaultier, Yves Saint-Laurent, Cristóbal Balenciaga, Hubert de Givenchy,  Vivienne Westwood, to name a few.

What is vintage? To many people it evokes art, passion, uniqueness, history, a combination of style and glamour; to others, it’s just a fancy word for “old”.   There’s so much more about it than just age.  It’s timeless, classic, simple, unique fabulous and so much more.

For a me it’s the essence of rare elegance and refinement that is the prelude the teaser to set the stage in preparation for the what is to come at Heston’s place…
