In My Kitchen April 2015

In My Kitchen Bee Wraps Chocolate MushroomsIn my kitchen this April are gorgeous eco friendly “bee” food wraps, this was a home craft tutorial I had seen on a blog some time ago and thought it was a cool idea. Couldn’t resist when I saw these bee wraps in a shop while visiting New Zealand. They come in various sizes, are reusable and you can wash them in cool water. Ideal for covering jars and bowls of food, wrapping cheese or other foods (not raw meats), sandwiches for kids lunch boxes or giving as gifts.

Four Seasons Bahrain Bay with Chef Wolfgang Puck

Wolfgang Puck at Cut Kitchen-Four Seasons Bahrain BayAttending the official opening of the very new and plush Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay was a perfect way to easy myself back into blogging after traveling. During the course of the evening guests at the event were taken on a tasting tour of three concept restaurants, which included celebrity Chef Wolfgang Puck’s highly rated steakhouse, Cut. Beautifully presented tasters from Bahrain Bay Kitchen, Re Asian Cuisine (Wolfgang Puck) and Cut were savored throughout the course of the evening and with so much food on offer it was not possible to taste it all… although I think I did well. The evening  included socializing with guests in the Grand Lobby area and the Moroccan inspired Blue Moon Lounge (Wolfgang Puck) on the ear popping 50th floor.
