The New York City Wine and Food Festival (NYCWFF) earlier this week embraced haute cuisine and easy cooking techniques. While celebrating good food and delectable drinks, the complete net proceeds benefited Food Bank for New York City and No Kid Hungry. The whole city transforms into an absolute food escapade throughout the week. Celebrity chefs hosted major culinary events: Lucky Chopsticks, hosted by James Beard Award-winning culinary personality Andrew Zimmerman, was filled with two floors worth of delectable Asian foods. The venue took guests to an elegant, Asian-like atmosphere. For French flair, Midnight in Paris, hosted by James Beard Award-winning pastry chef Dominique Ansel, also known for his creative cronut creation, presented guests an exclusive dessert-tasting event.
GBK’s NYCWFF Thank-You Lounge is another hot-spot. The Guittard Chocolate Company offers a delectable array of chocolates, whether dark with a fruity aftertaste or milky with a more subtle texture. Warther Cutlery is a perfect fit for any kitchen, with an easy-to-hold grip and a perfectly sharp blade. Lipper International has a wide range of functional wood-made designs to choose from. Wood is a recurring theme for kitchen décor: Boos Block beautifully brings the look back to the home with their flawless range of counter-tops and cutting-boards. The more than a century-old brand continues to present textured wood pieces that easily fit into any culinary environment. TriDerma MD presented guests with naturally made skin products that include organic alœ vera as the star ingredient to ensure healing and rejuvenating.—Lola Cristall, Paris Editor
