Chef Christopher Hache's Brilliant New Recipe

In Paris, they are many brilliant young chefs who can cook you a remarkable meal. This, of course, is why the French capital remains hands down the western world’s best food town. However, young chefs who can cook you a remarkable meal and also create a restaurant experience that’s framed by the social, psychic and visual pleasures that come from gracious hospitality, excellent service and a beautiful dining room are very much rarer indeed. Christopher Hache, 36, is one of them, and this is what makes him such an interesting man.

Evian Embraces The Om

The first thing our mind goes to when thinking of Evian is bottled water, however, beyond being one of the purest mineral water brands, Evian is the name of a beautiful spa destination, and it is of course where the water is sourced. The idyllic town of Evian is located on Lake Geneva and has been quite popular for centuries for being a spa destination with both royalty and celebrities looking to breathe in fresh air and to look after their mind, body and soul. Escaping busier cities, Evian is a welcome change of pace with its open spaces, the breathtaking lake and clean air.
