Culinary Class: Edible Flower Decorating and Rosé

Culinary Class: Edible Flower Decorating and Rosé at @ojaivalleyinn

The Edible Flower Decorating and Rosé at Ojai Valley Inn combined edible flower decorating with glasses of rosé for a creative and elegant experience at one of my favorite places in Southern California

It was a casual summer day that led me back to one of my favorite places in Southern California: The Farmhouse at Ojai Valley Inn. Driving from Los Angeles was – as expected. Traffic and delays had me arrive an hour and a half after my departure. But, once I moved through the gates and to valet, to park my car, I felt like I was a dimension away from Los Angeles.

Within minutes of hopping onto the guest shuttle, I was whisked away to The Farmhouse. As I quickly made my way into the demonstration room, I felt myself becoming – more of my full, final form of myself.

I cannot explain in mere words how much I absolutely love cooking classes at The Farmhouse. From the moment I walk to the doors, I feel that I’ve been mentally transported into a grand kitchen in a Nancy Meyers film: elevated, beautiful and fun.

After checking in, I was walked to my spot – which is my usual favorite: immediately in front, directly in front of the chef.

After light talking and sips of wine – cooking class began...

Watkins Glen State Park, located in New York’s F

Watkins Glen State Park, located in New York’s Finger Lakes region, is famous for its stunning gorge, breathtaking waterfalls and lush, scenic trails

Visiting Watkins Glen State Park in autumn is a breathtaking experience that left me in awe of the stunning landscape and vibrant fall foliage. Even driving there, from Hudson Valley, made me want to stop and photograph everything in my sight.

Before I entered Watkins Glen State Park, I stopped by Shequaga Falls Park. This was a great introduction to what was to come.

Arriving at Watkins Glen in the early afternoon … I can honestly say that I wasn’t ready for how absolutely gorgeous my time would be.

Searching the internet for sample photos is one thing. Being in the presence of such beauty – quite another…

Dinner at Flowers Saratoga was a feast for both the eyes and the palate 😍 From ahi tuna cones and truffle fries to a smoky wagyu bavette and the most Instagram-worthy cocktails, every dish felt like edible art. Sharing it all with Margaret made the evening even more special. 💗

The Officine du Louvre is a breathtaking cocktail

The Officine du Louvre is a breathtaking cocktail bar in Paris, celebrated for its exquisite drinks and elegant ambiance

There is only one word that truly captures the essence of the Officine du Louvre: exquisite. In fact, I’d go so far as to say it might just be the most beautiful cocktail bar in all of Paris. From the moment you step inside, you’re enveloped in an atmosphere of timeless elegance, where every detail feels meticulously curated to transport you to a world of refined indulgence.

My love affair with this bar began the moment I was handed my welcome drink, a gesture of hospitality that set the tone for what would become an unforgettable time in Paris. I had arrived a little early, waiting for the final touches to be put on my suite at the Hotel du Louvre, and decided to settle into the bar’s plush surroundings.

As I scanned the menu, my eyes were immediately drawn to the BLUE VELVET (Rhum Clément canne blue, Pineapple juice, Blue curaçao, lavender and violet liqueur, Coconut cream). From the looks, it was a cocktail that promised to be as enchanting as its name.

Josephine’s Speakeasy Bar & Kitchen in Montana i

Josephine’s Speakeasy Bar & Kitchen in Montana is a stylish, welcoming spot with inventive cocktails and flavorful dishes

After an incredible time at Glacier National Park and checking in to my stay at Under Canvas – Glacier, it was time for dinner. After comparing and reviewing the one sheet of recommended places from my airport car rental company, I chose Josephine’s Speakeasy Bar & Kitchen – as it was literally a mile and a half away.

Arriving, I was immediately impressed. Josephine’s Speakeasy was clean, modern and felt comfortable. I quickly settled into a table next to the window.

I immediately ordered a BEARPROOF SOUR (Bearproof whiskey, huckleberry liqueur, eggwhite, lemon) and began drinking copious amounts of water…
