To mark the 150th anniversary of Boucheron, La Maison Du Chocolat were recently called in to recreate the unique style of a Boucheron snake necklace… but in chocolate!
The chocolate version is truly a work of art directed by the Creative Director of Chocolate at La Maison du Chocolat. It’s not all chocolate though… it has a The 20.08 carat tinted yellow diamond for a tongue.
We were recently invited to go and see the necklace in its full glory (and try a few chocolates of course) at the London flag ship store. Heavily guarded, the necklace is on a tour around the globe which includes locations such as Japan, Russia, India, America as well as a few other exclusive locations.
It’s for sale too… at £600,000! We were advised by the Commercial Director of Boucheron that there has been some interest in the piece, but it recently endured a slight problem in Japan when all the flashes from the Japanese paparazzi started melting the snake!
Would you wear it? Ermmmm… nope and I probably wouldn’t eat it either (although it’s gonna be delicious). No doubt it will make a nice valentines gift for a billionaire!

Hidden amongst the hustle and bustle of London’s Camden town lies Gilgamesh Restaurant and Bar, a 15,000 sq ft Babylonian style palace modelled around the life and times of an ancient Eastern god. Awe inspiring is an understatement!
The venue has four areas to dine, drink, dance and socialise, all set within beautiful architecture. The menu is classed as ‘Pan Asian’ and encapsulates a myriad of signature dishes with influence from South East Asia, China and Japan, all developed under the watchful gaze of Celebrity Chef Ian Pengelley.
We recently discovered the luxury delights of Gilgamesh for ourselves with a fleeting evening visit. After we’d picked ourselves up from the sheer magnitude, vibrancy and delicious foodie smells floating around we enjoyed a deliciously fresh cocktail aptly named an Emerald Fizz (Vodka embraced with fresh Kiwi, topped with Champagne). These definitely come highly recommended.

Endorsed by nutritionists and Olympic sportsmen, Love Dean Grenola was founded by Lucy O’Donnell as a result of tasting a form of granola during a holiday in the Alps in 2005.
Three years on the brand has won numerous awards and has built a clientele of superstar chefs and even royalty who love its levels of nutrition, not to mention the taste.

Granola is a type of cereal made with natural ingredients such as oats and nuts that have been lightly toasted. Granola has always been popular in America and is fast becoming a breakfast trend in the UK.
