Tripadvisor gives an overview of ten incredibly unique hotels all over the world. The video above is from Hotel Marqués de Riscal in Spain. This hotel is located in Elciego in the province Álava of La Rioja. The hotel is designed by Frank Gehry and the stylish rooms have a beautiful view over the valley. On the top of the hotel a rooftop terrace at which a lounge and wine bar are located with a panoramic view of the vineyards. The hotel is built in complete harmony with the environment and represents an extremely modern grapes bush which fits well with the landscape. Design, art, gastronomy and wine are all combined to create an unique experience. Watch the website Tripadvisor for more unique restaurants.
The Dutch Sayah drinks won silver with their spekkoek liquor during the International Wine and Spirit Competition 2013. Sayah is a real Indonesia liquor with the unique taste of spekkoek (a Dutch-Indonesian layered cake). Two Dutchmen’s with an Indonesian origin developed a liquor based on their origin, lifestyle and taste. Sayah has the taste of liquid cake, burnt sugar and spicy hints of cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, anise, vanilla and nutmeg. The transparent liquor can be enjoyed pure with ice or mixed. Nice to drink with a rice table.
At this moment The French Bistro is very popular in New York. Leonie van Spronsen did visit one. She loves the French bistros in Paris so a small critical eye is unavoidable. But if you love the French bistro style and if you go to NY we recommend to try the French bistros with their American twists… Les Halles NYC – Park Avenue location.
You can see it from afar, the facade, the lanterns, even the tiny little terrace out front, there it is, Anthony Bourdain’s version of Paris! And yes, the food is delicious, prepared tableside, priced as it should in a French bistro and it is a lovely night out, don’t get me wrong I loved it, but I have to say, the feeling that I actually left Manhattan and stepped into Paris? Not really!
Alcohol free beverages and food pairing: Restaurant ‘In de keuken van Floris’ in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, provides a great example. They treat their guests, because of their their 7 year anniversary, on a free wine pairing during their nine-course dinner. For those who do not drink alcohol, they serve a freshly squeezed juices arrangement. They will treat their guests from Wednesday to Friday until August the 2nd 2013.
Restaurant ‘t Schulten Hues (1 Michelin star) in Zutphen (The Netherlands) and Crystal Park New Media (also from Zutphen) presented the first Dutch interactive cook book for the iPad. With Portfolio-i you will meet the dynamic world around ‘t Schulten Hues in pictures and sound. De App is made under supervision of Chef Peter Gast, producer Gerbrand Pot (owner of Crystal Park New Media) and Paul Scholte (culinary redaction). On the app you will find interactive presentations of new dishes and recipes by Peter Gast; special wine-food combinations by host Jacqueline van liere; favorite recipes from 10 years ‘t Schulten Hues. With videos of local suppliers. Pictures by Peter Casell en Boy van Dulmen. Great to watch on your iPad during your holiday.
Bombay Sapphire asked five creatives and five enthusiasts of the hospitality industry to give their own interpretation of the classic Gin & Tonic. The result is ten interesting, creative and surprising cocktails. Like the cocoa hardcore of chocolatier Dominique Persoone or Hinky Pinky Robby by coffee roaster Eveline Hoorens. See all the creative approaches of the classic Gin & Tonic to get some inspiration here.
We all expect knives, forks and spoons in any kitchen, but what about hairdryers, drilling machines and paper shredders? At five restaurants in Chicago the chefs use power tools in the kitchen to prepare their meals. The cook at restaurant Primehouse uses a drill to drill off the ends of corn and makes cobs easier to hold. The cook at Bakersfield uses a paper shredder to cut tortillas into thin strips. Fun to see how to use these tools in the kitchen.
Martin House Brewing Company has developed a special breakfast beer with 5% alcohol, the ‘Day Break 4 Grain Breakfast Brew’. The beer is made of barley, wheat, oats, rye, local honey, milk and sugar. The honey, milk and sugar give the beer a unique sweetness. But whether this beer can really replace breakfast nor it is wise to have a drink before the afternoon starts… For youth at camp sites it might be a better breakfast than a beer to wash away their hangover.
The French winemaker Hausmann Famille has introduced a special wine on the French market: the Rouge Sucette, a cola-flavored wine. The wine is composed of 75% wine and 25% of a mix of sugar, water and coke. The wine contains 9% alcohol and should be served cold. Hausmann Famille wants to interest younger generations in France with this cola-wine. However, you wouldn’t expect a wine like this of the most leading wine country, sounds to me like ‘If you can’t beat them, join them’. ^Laura
