London’s Burning But The Steaks Are Just Seared
MrPorter.com is a fantastic website featuring men’s uber-luxury items (for you ladies see Net-A-Porter.com). This is certainly not a discount site, the items are fabulous and full price. It also offers some wonderful articles on style, fashion, food and drink. The perspective is decidedly British and the writing is Monty Python meets James Bond. Follow the link for an entertaining little tidbit on beef philosophy and a tutorial on how to properly cook a steak. I use this method myself but use a cast iron skillet and finish the steak with black truffle butter.
After viewing the four slides on cooking a steak follow the link on the first page to the Hawksmoor site. The Hawksmoor is a high-end steakhouse in London. Check out the site and then immediately book first class reservations on BA and a suite at the Connaught, then click on the cow on the left side of the site for a nice tutorial on cuts of steak and proper preparation.
Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty | The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
I was blown away by the Alexander McQueen “Savage Beauty” exhibit at the Met. His collections are incredibly creative and diverse and reflect an unbeliveable range of materials. His very inspirational philosophies on history, politics and life and death are all reflected in the work with depth and passion. What really affected me was the runway shows. They are more like performance art as the link will show you. Equally as impressive was the exhibition itself and the fantastic way the collections are staged.
