Temple Food at Cipriani 


As a rule, Jeong Kwan only cooks for her fellow seunims (Korean Buddhist nuns and monks) and the occasional visitor at the monastery where she has lived since she was 17. She has never had any formal culinary training, nor has she ever owned a restaurant or been called a chef. She has taught at Jeonju University’s College of Culture and Tourism, humbly sharing her food philosophy with aspiring cooks.

 

Her preparations eschew the five ‘pungent spices [alliums]’ (garlic, onions, scallions, chives and leeks) in favor of seasonings such as curcuma, Sichuan pepper and shiso, which she says keep your mind awake and alert, primed for meditation. Her food is for sustenance, not indulgence. 

 

The undeniable impact Jeong Kwan has been effecting on the Asian and global food scene is being recognized, with the Academy voting her as the winner of the Icon Award for the 2022 edition of Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, sponsored by S.Pellegrino & Acqua Panna. Ahead of the awards ceremony on 29th March, when she will officially receive her trophy, the ground-breaking nun shares her story and philosophy with 50 Best.

For confirmed guests only, dress code for the 10/23/2022 Cipriani event is business elegant.

The Bicester Collection and NH Collection hosted an evening with hors d’oeuvres and cocktails at the NH Collection Madison Ave, to present their NH Collection Hotels in Europe and Bicester Collection’s Value Retail Outdoor Luxury Shopping Experiences in Europe.

 

The 11 Villages are spacious, open-air pedestrianized streets with a curated selection of the world’s leading brands.

My shopping experience included the exclusive services for the discerning traveler at La Roca Village in Barcelona, and I’m happy to sport my new Max Mara hat. Three out of four guests purchase a luxury brand for the first time during their visit to a Village and 37% of them go on to become customers of that brand at full price.
