In honor of the dearly departed

This evening, I bring you a special post dedicated to one of my besties, food-in-crime-ing, bike-riding, 9-to-5 hating, photo loving, fame-whore-ing, all around funny man, Emiliano.
Since Emi got smart and departed the shores of Manhattan for the bright lights of Brooklyn, it was only fitting that I send him off with a list of top [...]

Alright kids…

After spending the last month and a half not writing and convincing myself I had “writers block” (we all know it’s BS), I have to confess that was just an excuse. I have been busy and taken well (almost too well) to the savoir vivre of Parisian life. Somewhere in here I have to find [...]

French Vogue//Truthage-isms

French Vogue is ten times better than American Vogue. Fancy, cutting edge, witty, shameless. How I do heart Carine Roitfeld.

Eat. Drink. Man. Woman//Week 5 at Le Cordon Bleu

I confess.
I’ve been busying myself with things other than updating you on LCB. Oh but there is so much wine to drink, cocktails bars to try and dinner parties to be thrown when you are surrounded by the young and beautiful boys and gals of Le Cordon Bleu. Did you just want to slap me [...]

Mara des Bois//Current Obsessions

Stop me if you’ve heard this one.
I have become obsessed with strawberries. I buy a carton a day and I eat them for breakfast with yogurt and for dessert plain or with a butter cookie and whipped cream (that’s real whipped cream you fool). Now, these aren’t your mom’s berries kids. These are the real [...]

Book was a snooze, Movie looks better//Julia/Julia

Check it bitches. It’s the trailer for Julia & Julia, the book made into a movie about a young women who spends a year making every recipe in Julia Childs’ Mastering The Art Of French Cooking and ends up…ahhhh, finding herself. How very H-Wood and screenplay friendly.
All things set aside (not to mention I could [...]

iHeart TopShop Paris//oh, no i don’t.

SO. I can’t turn a corner without bumping into a Zara or H&M or Etam but not one TopShop? I call BS.

In addition to your very fashionable chefs whites…//things you need to bring

Cherrio lasses!
I’ve been getting a lot of questions on whether or not Le Cordon Bleu supplies you with everything you need to ensure a successful tenure as a student. Answers…
- Kitchen shoes: I found it strange that they didn’t come with the uniform so we all had to hike to the kitchen supply store for [...]

Sin is in, Sweetie//Week 4//Le Cordon Bleu

Holleration GG lovers. I’m a week behind on my posts and I’m sorry but I’ve been either drinking wine, smoking cigarettes, talking about boys, trying on clothes or eating ‘k? Sometimes I do all five things at once so it can get a bit messy.
Annnnyways. 
Week four brought on some serious dishes and old-skewl French techniques: [...]

Epic//The rise and fall of the Banh Mi

 
This has gone to far and it’ stupid at this point but I’m mad about T. Col so wanted to share his take on the Banh Mi as he is the quiet king of sandwiches (let us not forget ‘wichcraft people):
 ”I’m so over Banh mi.”
And the next sandwich trend?
“I think it will be something inspired [...]
