New York

A short travel note: On 20 February 2007, I was in New York to see a friend of mine, Daniel Angere. Daniel has recently opened his own restaurant, Klee Brassarie, in the Meatpacking District. Ever since Sex and the City it's one of Manhattan's fashionable hotspots. After a short briefing, Daniel and I cooked a 5-course meal for our guests. And they really enjoyed it. Just as we did — such trips are just wonderful. Seeing old friends again, discovering new places, breathing in new smells... . What more do you want?
