A TASTE OF ICONIC MAGIC

POSTED ON MAY 16, 2018

When Gourmet tangoes with healthy and Tradition with contemporary, then magic happens. I’m getting a taste of it here in  London’s over a century old reborn landmark. Learning  not just “Model Pilates” (renowned science based  holistic method by fitness expert and author Hollie Grant) but also healthy recipes from her. Like the black bean poached egg dish she is holding. Not only do I kickstart my healthy day with it but also feast on the deliciously luxurious traditional high tea in The Mandarin Oriental on Hyde Park  with the dapper Frenchman Gerard Sintes who helms it. In fact it is here  too that the gastronomique legend,  Michelin starred “Dinner with Heston” is located. It’s  unique menu is inspired by British culinary history. And after revelling in the  Tipsy cake and Meat fruit (from the 14th century)  for dinner I balance it with the black bean poached egg  and cashew oat pancakes at breakfast.  Hollie has shared the recipes, Should you need them please email rashmiudaysingh18@gmail.com
