Despite his Michelin pedigree, Certain’s aim has been to keep it “very traditional” with the menu — in other words, proper pub food: fish and chips, steaks, haunches of venison, a prized burger, though the likes of confit duck are not unusual. As at the Lodge, most of the meat served is “all estate produce”, with local suppliers used elsewhere throughout and listed on the menu. Scallops, from Brixham, are an outlier; the rest of the fish is closer to home. “We’ve got the coast, so we do a lot of fish. The guy gets off his boat and says, Olivier, I’ve got this. And so that’s what we do.” Source link

The thing is, unlike most megastars, Kate doesn’t seem weighed down by her fame; she just gets on with it. Last year, when Madonna was in town kicking off her world tour at the O2, I was lucky enough to be invited to an intimate after-show party hosted at a photographer’s home. Not many invites would get me out of the house on a Sunday evening — sorry but Antiques Roadshow is an essential part of my weekend wind-down — let alone a party starting at midnight but, hey, it was Madonna. The great and the glamorous of London were all there, from Edward Enninful to FKA twigs and Kate, naturally. Source link

It’s easy to have a wonderful time in Marrakesh but the rest of the country is ripe for discovery and about to have its moment. This year, head north to Rabat, Tangiers or Casablanca. Travel writer Mary Lussiana says: “In the capital, Rabat, a Four Seasons Hotel is launching on the edge of the Atlantic. Called Kasr Al Bahr, the Castle of the Sea, it was previously the summer palace of a sultan and promises to deliver on sense of place. Tangier, which has been short on enticing places to stay, has opened Fairmont Tazi recently, and the beautiful Villa Mabrouka, once home to Yves St Laurent, has been wonderfully refurbished by Jasper Conran. It’s also exciting that the acclaimed Royal Mansour in Marrakesh is opening a sibling hotel in Casablanca in early 2024 and is slated to open something ...

Plenty of famous women are sporting chic, coiffed bobs currently, from Zendaya to Hailey Bieber, and the style is set to get more brazen, thinks Buller. He says, "The Boyb is our lead trend prediction for the season," describing the new look as a "shorter, sharper, sexier, androgynous" cut which is blunt or only very subtly layered. Source link

Chapung, Manon Les Suites’ sixth-floor restaurant overlooking the Lakes, is responsible for its breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks. You’ll feel virtuous after their signature breakfast, where Bali meets Denmark (think fried rice with homemade granolas and exotic fruits, and a selection of slightly less virtuous pastries). While foods are largely organic and sourced locally, the inspiration for dinner has travelled several thousand miles further, featuring Asian fusion dishes including sashimi, kimchi, tom kha, seaweed and salmon. Or, if you fancy dining quietly a deux, room service options include caviar and champagne, green curry or chicken satay. Whatever you choose, be sure to be on either the rooftop or at your suite’s windows for sundown. Source link

Her outings walking for, and partying with, a close set of fashion designer friends — including John Galliano, Stella McCartney and Marc Jacobs, as well as those no longer with us, Lee Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood — have gone down in fashion history. So too have her off duty looks, with notable mentions going to her muddied Glasto Hunter wellies in 2005, and the skinny-jeans-and-a-Balenciaga-city-bag get ups which were a Primrose Hill right of passage during the noughties.

One of the great glories of the resort is the staff. Wherever you go, whatever you do, without you knowing it’s even happening, someone is quietly keeping a helpful eye on you. They magically appear, like a fairy-godperson; a mixture of chauffeur, waiter and guide. When I casually strolled over to breakfast, my butler Thahseen would suddenly arrive the moment I finished to ask if I slept OK and needed a better pillow (there’s an entire menu of to choose from), one day he turned up with approximately seven variations of lotions and cream for my insect bites. Another day my broken sunglasses, left scattered on my terrace, reappeared completely fixed by our cheery housekeeper, Saddam. You only have to lick your lips and look pensive and one of the twinkly can-do staff appears with your favour...

The role of glutathione is so important that experts have nicknamed it, ‘‘the king of antioxidants.’’ Glutathione is a tripeptide — a compound made up of three amino acids (cysteine, glucose and glutamic acid), and although it is naturally synthesised by the body, it is also readily available in certain food sources, which brings us to our next point. Like many good-for-us nutrients, levels of glutathione drop with age, so we’d all benefit from increasing dietary forms of the antioxidant to enable our body do its job even better. These are the diet rules to follow… Source link
