“I feel like traveling really opens your palate and really broadens what you could bring to your own craft.”
Chef @r___anch ’s dishes capture the essence of our new Mulberry and Citrus luggage colours – bold palettes, reimagined on the plate.
When I asked @r___anch if he could turn jewelry into food, he didn’t blink.
A few weeks later, he showed up with a menu of jeweled canapés, delicate and sparkling, almost too beautiful to eat. Each one looking like it belonged in a @danielarosejewelry display case.
Food has always been at the core of what I do with Bon Vivant. Whether I’m cooking for a small group or teaming up with chefs who bring a new perspective to the vision, these moments are where the magic happens. Working with Raphael on this one was so inspiring, and I can’t wait for Round 2 of The Ring Room this weekend for you all to experience it (link in bio for tickets).
And if you’re looking for me, I’ll probably be in the back, sneaking a bite of Raph’s fluffy focaccia with whipped butter🫣
