Volunteering at Refettorio Felix

Refettorio Felix at St Cuthbert Refettorio Felix is Massimo Bottura’s latest charitable and sustainable effort, part of the project launched at the Milano expo a couple of years ago called Refettorio through the non profit Food for Soul. Massimo combined the fight against food waste with feeding those in needs, with the help of a bunch of partners (including Lavazza and Grundig) and volunteers as well as local established charitable soup kitchens. After the italian city and Rio, the London…

A meal at H.En, Islington

A meal at H.En, Islington

Travel bites – a weekend in Copenhagen

Travel bites – a weekend in Copenhagen

I had never been to Denmark until January this year, when a business trip became the excuse to stop over for the weekend and enjoy the Danish capital with @bmcboy. Yes it was cold, but we got some beautiful sunshine too which allowed us to explore it on foot walking around for a few hours and taking in the sights and the food, of course. Kong Arthur Hotel The centre itself is spread out but indeed walkable. We chose to…
