My friends Zoe Bowker, Jade Worsely and I picked Tan Cha (located at the JW Marriott Marquis) as our latest choice for a girls’ night out. It cannot be stressed enough how often we are underwhelmed by overhyped new restaurant openings, and …
The dream team behind La Cantine, Ninive, Lana Lusa (and most recently Twiggy) have now graced us with a (quite quintessentially Dubai) Japanese establishment that pays homage to a cross between a 1920s Osaka speakeasy and jazz club, celebrating the cultural clash …
“If we don’t have love, it’s difficult to work well, and in the kitchen it’s extremely important”. This was the opening line of Ana Ros’s episode on Chef’s Table (many years ago), and palpable in Tresind Studio’s kitchen this January the 7th, …
