People in the Blue Zones are more likely to live past 100

I learned the value of humour during the time of Stalinist terror … A sense of humour was a trustworthy sign of recognition. Ever since, I have been terrified by a world that is losing its sense of humour.

~ Milan Kundera


 People in the Blue Zones are more likely to live past 100.

 So, what are they eating? What are the long-lived communities in Sardinia, Okinawa, Nicoya, Ville of Matra, Icaria and Loma Linda doing that others are not, and what can we learn from them in our own quest for long and healthy lives?


Niece Janka is in Rome nephew Marcel is in London this week —- all are into food … 🍱 

A world of Mediterranean delicacies, revelry and artistry awaits.


This is not merely a restaurant, it is a breath-taking feast for the senses, a gathering place to feel moved, immersed in another world. It is imagination on a grand and glorious scale. Here, people let go, to indulge in life’s richness. The ancient story of Bacchanalia is reimagined. Greco-Roman feasting, revived imaginatively with exquisite ingredients and vintages. Legendary entertainment, set within breathtaking interiors.

For those who long for escapism, sway this way…

We're also hearing a bit about who's running the drinks side of things and that includes Group Wine Director, Terry Kandylis, formerly Head Sommelier at 67 Pall Mall, Head Sommelier Tasos Karakasis (formerly Marcus Belgravia) and they've poached Tiago Mira as Bar Manager from The Goring.
