Kitchen chemistry




Nothing says romance like a lavish candlelit dinner on Valentine’s Day, and even more so when one’s sweetheart is surprised with a home-cooked gourmet meal prepared with love, and served in one’s own home.
The Stafford London by Kempinski offers lovebirds a little help in the kitchen this year with an exclusive Valentine's Day Cookery Class, held in the kitchens of the hotel’s new Lyttelton restaurant on Sunday, February 12, 2012.  Led by Executive Chef Brendan Fyldes, it’s an intimate experience for just eight participants, allowing for hands-on learning in a warm and engaging atmosphere.
“Whether planning a special surprise for your spouse or looking for a way to wow someone new, Chef Fyldes will guide participants through a four-course menu that is sure to inspire a memorable evening,” says Leon Baum, General Manager of The Stafford.  “Couples are also invited to join in the fun.”
The class runs from 8:30 to 11:30 am, followed by canapés and a glass of Champagne in the Hotel’s famous American Bar before luncheon at The Lyttelton, where Master Sommelier Gino Nardella will personally select the wine pairings.  Afterwards, participants leave with a gift bag that includes a Kempinski cookery book, an apron adorned with The Lyttelton logo, homemade chutneys and biscuits, and a solid plan for a fabulous home-cooked Valentine’s Day dinner à deux.
The class costs £220.00 per person including three-hour hands on cookery lesson, Champagne, canapés and lunch with wines at The Lyttelton, and gift bag.  Advance registration is a must due to limited space.

Yoga in paradise




Internationally renowned yoga expert Maya Fiennes is taking her talents to the soothing setting of One&Only Reethi Rah to create an exclusive yoga sanctuary from 3 - 10 March 2012, where she will treat guests to a full mind, body and soul workout.

Dubbed the Nigella of relaxation, the TV yoga guru will be teaching participants the art of Kundalini Yoga and how to achieve real happiness.  Based on the concept of clearing and balancing the chakras, the seven power centres of the body, Maya’s tailored yoga retreat offers the opportunity to expand sensory awareness and cultivate creative spiritual potential through an understanding of yogic breathing, mantras, meditation and movement.

Maya will personally guide guests through the daily yoga programme aimed to encourage physical, emotional and spiritual relaxation. Through her knowledge of yoga and music, Maya’s week long workshop promises to be a magically uplifting break and leave participants with a refreshed perspective on everyday life.  This exclusive yoga retreat includes a healthy meal plan to ensure total wellbeing.

A seven night break a One&Only Reethi Rah on Maya Fiennes’ exclusive yoga retreat costs £8,400 based on two people sharing a Beach Villa*. Return flights from London Heathrow with Etihad Airways start from £729.
