A magical night of beautiful celebration of British creativity, craftsmanship and artistry… ✨🇬🇧🌸 A glorious evening bringing together the worlds of couture and sculpture through a very special collaboration between my friend, British couturier @stewart_parvin , and award-winning sculptor @rupert_till — perfectly timed to celebrate the upcoming “RHS Chelsea Flower Show” and “Chelsea in Bloom festival” . For those discovering them for the first time… ✨ Stewart is one of Britain’s most respected couture designers, renowned for his timeless elegance, exquisite tailoring and refined craftsmanship, dressing some of the world’s most distinguished women over several decades and he famously dressed Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and created many of her most iconic looks. A number of his beautiful designs are currently featured in a major retrospective exhibition at Buckingham Palace until October — an absolute must-see for lovers of British fashion and royal history. ✨ Rupert Till is an internationally acclaimed sculptor celebrated for his iconic wire animal sculptures — especially his magnificent hares and horses — full of movement, poetry and emotion. The boutique itself has been transformed into a glorious spring dream both inside and outside thanks to the floral artistry of Matthew Dickinson and his team @dickinsondoris Studio, overflowing with blossom, foliage and seasonal flowers creating the most enchanting atmosphere. 🌿🌸 If you are in London over the next few weeks, do not hesitate to pop in and admire these beautiful masterpieces from Stewart and Rupert in person. A true celebration of British artistry, elegance and springtime magic in Chelsea. ✨ 📍 Stewart Parvin Boutique 9 Motcomb st, SW1X 8LA 🗓️ Exhibition running throughout the Chelsea Flower Show & Chelsea in Bloom period. #ChelseaInBloom #ChelseaFlowerShow #StewartParvin #RupertTill #BritishCouture

There’s something magical about baking a cake… ✨ The gentle ritual of weighing, whisking, folding and waiting while the kitchen slowly fills with the most comforting smell in the world. Cakes are so much more than flour, butter and sugar… they are celebration, comfort, reward and sometimes even therapy. They mark birthdays, weddings, Sunday afternoons, friendships, little victories and precious family moments. 🎂 In a world moving faster than ever, baking reminds us to slow down, create something with our hands and share a little happiness with others. And honestly… few things feel more rewarding than slicing into a freshly baked cake still slightly warm from the oven. ❤️ Wishing everybody a beautiful day filled with sweetness, creativity and maybe a little buttercream too… #baking #cake #patisserie #homebaking #EricLanlard

Monday again… and somehow the weeks are flying by ✨ A new week, new energy and lots to look forward to… Very excited to be heading to Newport, Wales this weekend for this year’s @worldchefs.congress & Expo 2026 alongside my lovely friends @nielsenmassey Vanillas, where I’ll be joining as a keynote speaker. Always such a joy to spend time with fellow chefs, creators and food lovers from around the world sharing stories, inspiration and of course a little pâtisserie magic ✨👨🏻‍🍳 Wishing everybody a fantastic week ahead filled with positivity, creativity and delicious moments. @nielsenmasseyuk @visitwales #MondayMotivation #WorldchefsCongress #ChefLife #wales #nielsenmassey

New month … and yes, another year around the sun ☀️🎂 What a beautiful long Bank Holiday weekend it has been… taking time to celebrate, slow down and simply enjoy life ..and of course “une Brassée” of lily of the valley .. in a matching @lalique vase … We started with the wonderfully immersive Le Chat Noir — a deliciously louche dinner cabaret transporting you straight back to the golden days of Montmartre in Paris… when absinthe was dripping, artists and poets collided over decadent food, and the night always promised a little mischief. Such great fun. Contrary to the forecast, the sun came out perfectly for a long birthday lunch at the iconic @therivercafelondon . Funnily enough, the brilliant food writer @tompbowles had just written a four-page piece on this legendary 39-year-old institution and its founder @ruthierogers that morning in @youmagazine .. As always, the warmest service from Noel and Freddie, with Charles gracefully overseeing that beautiful ballet of simplicity in the dining room — making everybody feel instantly at home. The food? Absolute perfection. The first asparagus of the season, a magnificent veal chop, the dreamiest grappa panna cotta with Gariguette strawberries… and of course the legendary Birthday Nemesis chocolate cake, which frankly deserves its own page in the Larousse Gastronomique. Bank Holiday Monday was intentionally slow and indulgent… “œuf à la russe” for breakfast — a soft @clarence_court Burford Brown egg topped with a generous spoon of @attilus_caviar caviar. Strong coffee. A glass of @krugchampagne 🥂. Growing older never felt so good. To conclude the weekend, the Olivier Award-winning @mspike in “Inter Alia” — an extraordinary performance not to be missed before it heads to Broadway this autumn, much to the delight of my US followers. Feeling happy, grateful, inspired… and very ready to embrace this new year ❤️

There are collaborations… and then there are moments ✨ Still slightly obsessed with that latest @sushishop_uk colaboration— and this one is seriously special.🌟 Introducing Chef @adriencachot and if you don’t know him yet, you absolutely should. A finalist on Top Chef France 2020, he completely shook the scene with his bold, rule-breaking style — the kind of chef who doesn’t follow trends, he creates them. Since then, he’s opened his Paris restaurant Vaisseau, now awarded a Michelin star. In short… a true creative rebel — so this collaboration makes perfect sense 😉 🍣 Inside this beautifully curated box: – Sushi Prawn Koshou with that addictive roasted pepper twist – Tulip Kuro Edamame… dark, glossy, almost mysterious 🖤 – Maki Maguro Peanut Wasabi (dangerously addictive… be warned) – California Kimchicken bringing that full-on umami kick – plus a few more surprises along the way… Each bite feels like a story — memories, emotions, unexpected flavour combinations… exactly how he cooks. And then… the box 🪩 An unapologetic 80’s disco dream — glossy, bold, glamorous… honestly, it deserves its own moment before you even open it. The best part? My local on Northcote Road, Battersea is literally on my doorstep (dangerous 😏)… but this collaboration is available across Sushi Shop UK. ✨ Check their website to find your nearest and dive in. Not your average sushi night… this is a full-on culinary experience. @sushishop #SushiShop #AdrienCachot #LondonEats #BatterseaLife

Currently the most whispered-about address in London… 🤫✨ Had the privilege of stepping inside the @louisvuitton “Hotel” in Mayfair London — and let’s be clear… you don’t actually stay here. But honestly? You won’t care. This ephemeral concept celebrates 130 years of the iconic Monogram, created in 1896 by Georges Vuitton — originally designed to prevent counterfeiting, and now one of the most recognisable symbols of luxury in the world. But here… it’s been brought to life. From an elegant Afternoon Tea to exclusive, hard-to-find pieces, a beautifully curated LV gym… and tucked away, a discreet speakeasy where Ruinart Champagne flows like a secret you almost don’t want to share. It’s not a hotel — it’s a fully immersive Louis Vuitton universe. A place you can book into, explore, experience… but only for a moment. And right now? It’s the hottest address in London — arguably Europe — until it disappears. As a long-time admirer of the house, I love how Louis Vuitton continues to reinvent its heritage — especially under @pharrell , bringing that fresh, cultural pulse to such an iconic legacy. If you know… you know. And if you don’t — you’ve been told 😉✨ #LouisVuitton #lvmh #London #Ruinart #pharrell

It’s my Birthday 🙌🏻🥰🎂✨! #birthday #grateful #anniversaire #blessed

Happy midweek everyone ☀️ The sun is finally shining here in the UK, and it’s such a joy to see everyone out and about — soaking up the light, cooking, baking, and truly embracing the season. There’s something magical about this time of year… kitchens feel brighter, flavours get fresher, and even the simplest bakes taste that little bit better. Whether you’re whipping up something delicious indoors or taking it outside for a sunny lunch moment — I wish you all a very Happy Baking 🌿✨ Enjoy every golden moment @nielsenmassey @nielsenmasseyuk #HappyBaking #SpringVibes #MidweekMood #BakingJoy #UKSunshine

Sunshine on the table, birds in the background… it’s officially frittata weather ☀️🌿 This petit pois frittata is my go-to for an effortless spring lunch or a laid-back weekend brunch — light, fresh, and packed with those sweet little bursts of green goodness. Simple, elegant, and best enjoyed with a glass of something chilled in the garden… Ingredients 4 large eggs @clarence_court 80 ml double cream (or whole milk for lighter) 120 g petit pois (fresh or frozen, blanched & drained) 40 g feta or goat’s cheese, crumbled @odysea_ltd 30 g grated Parmesan 1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped 1 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped Zest of ½ lemon Salt & freshly ground black pepper @maldonsalt @epicesroellinger 1 tbsp olive oil or a knob of butter Method Preheat Oven to 180°C (fan 160°C). Prepare the base Heat your 7” @hexclad_europe pan over medium heat with the olive oil or butter. Egg mixture In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the cream until silky. Add: Parmesan Herbs Lemon zest Seasoning Assemble Scatter the petit pois evenly in the pan, then pour over the egg mixture. Gently crumble the feta/goat’s cheese on top. Cook + bake Let it cook on the hob for 2–3 minutes until the edges just start to set. Transfer to the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, until just set but still slightly soft in the centre. Finish Rest for a couple of minutes before serving. A final drizzle of olive oil or a squeeze of lemon lifts everything beautifully. ✨ Chef’s touch A few shaved asparagus tips or courgette ribbons work beautifully with the peas For a more indulgent version, add a few torn slices of smoked salmon just before serving Serve warm, not piping hot—that’s when the texture is at its most elegant #recipe #cooking #chef #springcooking #baking

Monday mood: fresh, bright… and just a little bit indulgent 🍓✨ Wishing you all a beautiful start to the week ahead — may it be filled with energy, inspiration, and a few sweet moments along the way. Let’s take it one slice at a time… and make it a delicious one 💫 Have a fabulous week everyone ❤️ #MondayMotivation #FoodieLife #CakeLovers #looksmaxxing #InstaFood

✨ Weekend mood ✨ There’s something so special about the rhythm of a weekend… a little slower, a little softer, and filled with those simple pleasures we often rush through during the week. For me, it’s the perfect excuse to spend time in the kitchen — music playing, coffee (or a cheeky glass of something sparkling 🥂), and the joy of creating something delicious from scratch. Maybe it’s a freshly baked loaf, a comforting cake, or a dish that brings back beautiful memories… because cooking and baking are never just about food — they’re about sharing, სიყვ, and connection. So tell me… What are your plans this weekend? Are you baking something indulgent? Cooking for family? Hosting friends? Or simply taking time for yourself? I’d love to see what you’re creating — tag me in your stories so I can share the joy ✨ Wishing you all a delicious, joyful and beautifully indulgent weekend 🤍 #weekend #cooking #baking #sharing
