Paris covered in snow .... a train delay... a little bistrot next to the Gare de l'Est .... and the blessing of being forced to travelling slowly...
Paris sous la neige ..... un train retardé .... un petit bistrot à côté de la Gare de l'Est ... les joies de voyager au ralenti forcé à prendre mon temps....
Almost there.....a few weeks left and the doors will finally open!
The chefs are fine tuning the recipes, the waiters are rehearsing the service, our back of house team are polishing every plate and the room attendants are making sure all the pillows are perfectly lined up.....
A real joy for me to be part of such a unique opening, to witness the true meaning of hospitality and why I choose to work in this industry in the first place.

It has been a while since I visited NY but this town that I once called home still has the smell, the vibe and taste, I still remember.
It’s a special place for so many reasons, but lingering in the background is the voice of my late Grandma Alice. I was 21 and as a young chef, I was feeling unsure and about to give up. But she found the right words to keep me going and stay in this dynamic city - which became of the biggest milestones in my career.

I’m excited to announce that I have taken on the role of Director of Culinary at The Chancery Rosewood. I am incredibly proud to be part of the team launching this landmark opening in London. I can’t wait to share what we have been cooking up in the background to craft something truly exceptional. Stay tuned…
Christmas Day began with Monsieur Tim…stretching his legs and horsing around

"Quatschekueche"...the Alsatian plum tart! Every year at the end of August these little plums are in season. I cannot imagine Summer without a slice of this delicious childhood memory.

What a trip....le Cirque de Gavarnie, La Brèche de Roland, le Pic du Taillon, le Pas des Isards, le Glacier d'Ossoue...I wish that everyone could experience the sheer majesty of the Pyrenees.....definitely my little corner of heaven!
Enjoying a weekend back home in Saverne in Alsace. Where my journey started 48 years ago!

Today's egg are scrambled with forage wild asparagus, chervil, ham, chives and grated Parmesan.
Foraging has always been one of my joys!
Something I learned doing in the early years of my training as an apprentice. Today wild asparagus, soon elderflower, acacia blossoms, morels, tiny wild strawberries and raspberries....and this until late automne when the last black trumpet will finally disappear under the first frost of the year.
