Designed by Philippe Starck, the Spa is a perfect white paradise: temple of relaxation, just behind the Champs Elysées. Why not, reasoned Dr Courtin-Clarins, continue the benefits of the spa treatments within the Hotel? So, he got together with Executive Chef Laurent André and together they created ‘My Blend’ salads. “Salads are not my most fascinating idea of a meal”, admits chef André. “But every woman I know always asks, so I agreed on the understanding that I would create the best they’ve ever tasted. Also, while talking to Doctor Courtin-Clarins, I realized I could create a fusion of food and cosmetics, using seasonal ingredients reflecting the products used in Clarins treatments and products”. At present there’s a delicious combination of plump crevettes roses, sprinkled with truffles, goji berries, raw spinach leaves, dried beetroot and pumpkin purée, sometimes we add avocado and seaweed. Light, low-calorie and energizing, perfect with freshly squeezed vegetable juices, this salad is balanced with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants”, adds chef Laurent. “I may even order one myself!” ‘My Blend Salad by Dr Olivier Courtin-Clarins’ is available at the Bar Long, Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris, daily from 12pm – 11 pm. 39€ Le Long Bar, Hôtel Le Royal Monceau, 37 avenue Hoche, 8th M : Charles de Gaulle-Etoile, T : 01 42 99 88 00   C’est l’heure du thé at Lazare And you’re Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard having a Brief Encounter.

Born in Hampton, Middlesex, UK, Margaret Kemp is a lifestyle journalist, based between London, Paris and the world. Intensive cookery courses at The Cordon Bleu, London, a wedding gift from a very astute ex-husband, gave her the base that would take her travelling (leaving the astute one behind) in search of rare food and wine experiences, such as the vineyards of Thailand, 'gator hunting in South Florida, learning to make eye-watering spicy food in Kerala;pasta making in a tiny Tuscany trattoria. She has contributed to The Guardian, The Financial Times Weekend and FT. How To Spend It.com, The Spectator, Condé Nast Traveller, Food & Travel, and Luxos Magazine. She also advises as consultant to luxury hotels and restaurants. Over the years, Kemp has amassed a faithful following on BonjourParis. If she were a dish she'd be Alain Passard's Millefeuille “Caprice d'Enfant”, as a painting: Manet’s Dejeuner sur l’herbe !
