The delightful Keira Knightley was recently spotted attending a very VIP party for “The Edge of Love” at London’s Berkeley Hotel - one of my favourite venues....
She wore a daring purple Erdem dress which was off set beautifully by a stunning Van Cleef & Arpels white gold and diamond Broderie Ring valued at £31,400 ($65,000 approx).
Van Cleef say:
“The world of fashion has always celebrated the art of embroidery, featuring floral designs in delicate threads of linen, gold or cotton. In a perfect synthesis, Van Cleef & Arpels has a natural attraction to embroidery, which goes in hand with the house’s traditional inspirations from nature, and has created an Embroidery line composed of floral motifs in a variety of delicate colours. The Broderie Ring worn by Keira is a luxurious white gold band scattered with blossoms and leaves of round diamonds.”
With an invitation to review award winning restaurant Gaucho Sloan Avenue we knew we were in for a real treat. Specialist in the finest cuts of Argentinean Beef , Gaucho was founded by Zeev Godik over ten years ago in Piccadilly, London and has recently seen the business double its takings – no easy feat.
So, eager to trial the delights of the legendary Gaucho steak, we arrived to a very welcoming team of chic and professional staff who clearly had a passion for good food as well as the makings of a happy diner.
But before we talk about our recommendations of what to eat here’s a little history lesson; The first Gaucho Restaurant opened over ten years ago in Piccadilly London. Since then ten more have opened, nine in London and one in Manchester. The Gaucho Restaurants are always mentioned as one of the best places in the UK to sample really superb steak and I find it very hard to disagree.
Argentine Beef is top-class thanks to the adequate moisture, mild climate, rich soil and vast terrain on which it grazes. Due to the fact that Argentine Aberdeen Angus graze freely over the grassland and do not require hormones, the beef results in containing 10% less cholesterol and 25% less intra muscular fat than US or UK beef.

Given the prolonged level of drought in Australia, you would be forgiven for thinking that remote luxury resorts might suffer. Not a bit of it. The solution implemented by the Novotel Forest Resort was to drought proof the location by constructing Australia’s first privately owned water treatment plant.
This innovative engineering project has cost in the region of AUD$4million (£1.9million) and recycles all of the resorts grey and black water for use in the complex, i.e for irrigation on the golf course, and surrounding gardens.

Gordon Ramsay seems to be stretching his tentacles again with the proposed opening of a high end restaurant at Melbourne’s renowned Crown Complex.
The celebrity chef hopes to open a signature restaurant at the buzzing casino complex - and make a reality TV series about the experience. Ummm, another TV reality series!?
The TV show, is scheduled to appear on screens later in 2008 and will focus on the search for a chef to run the restaurant. Ramsay is expected in Melbourne in June to set up his new venture at the imposing Crown Complex with a rumoured opening in December 2008. This will mark Ramsay’s 13th venture outside the UK.
