Gastronomy

 Baking is both a science and an art; science in that it requires precise measurements to achieve consistent results, and an art, as it offers great creativity when it comes to design. With design as my muse, I took an excellent class with Chef François Payard as part of the New York Culinary Experience hosted by New York magazine and The International Culinary Center to learn to bake and decorate to pastry-shop quality standards.

Recently, I attended the launch of a designer sunglass collection, an invitation only event, which I received by email. There was no expense spared, a trendy, attractive club overlooking the Hudson River in New York rented for the event with invited guests waltzing past the red velvet rope, and three hours of open bar in partnership with a premium spirits brand and free-pouring cocktails all night.
