Our favorite bartender at Four Seasons Bora Bora’s Sunset Bar was Heiarii. My husband loved this specialty cocktail. It had just a bit of kick and we had never heard of infusing tequila with hot peppers, much less lemongrass. That’s the secret to this wonderful cocktail. If you can’t plan ahead, just try infusing for […]

Moorea Prawns and Pineapple Salad. As if the turquoise waters and white sand of French Polynesia’s Four Season’s Bora Bora Hotel  aren’t already enough! You’ll have to make a quick trip to an Asian market for some of the vinaigrette ingredients, but it’s worth the effort. The combination of shrimp, tomatoes, cucumbers, fresh pineapple and […]

Leave it to Wynn’s head cake artist, Flora Aghababyan, to create an over the top gingerbread house. Look a little closer and it’s a reproduction of the Wynn Resort Las Vegas, side by side with the Encore. This takes the idea of a holiday gingerbread house to a whole new level. Are those really the […]

So I must admit, my downfall is Chef Mark LoRusso’s Chocolate S’more Doughnuts at Wynn Resort’s  Botero Restaurant. Last evening, I had to introduce my “Blue Baker” to this over the top, melt in your mouth, can’t get enough dessert.
