Last night, I've tried my first pesto and it came out so well :)
Recipe: blend together fresh basil, pine nuts/walnuts/cashew depending on availability, add olive oil, Parmesan and lime. Blend it 'till it's smooth :)

Last year, Fashion TV Czech & Slovak in collaboration with Institute of Esthetics Medicine and National Institute of Oncology organized prestigious event taking place in Slovak Philharmonic – Reduta called Fashion Sparkling Charity Night 2013. The main aim of the whole event was to help women fighting and suffering the breast cancer and make them feel beautifully again. During the night, VIP guests had the possibility to view fashion show by worldwide known Indian designer Rashmi Kumari who introduced her new collection called C’est Moi.
Early in the evening, the guests started arriving
and were greeted by Fashion TV Czech & Slovak CEO Ms. Gabriela Drobova and
her partner. Afterwards, they followed into the lounge where they enjoyed
Laurent Perrier champagne and delicacies by Kogo. The exclusive program was
later accompanied by gourmet experience, wines, cognac, and 4-course menu
consisting of:
·
homemade duck pate with apricot chutney, thyme-nut muffin, cranberry
reduction
·
mushroom cappuccino with truffle oil and milk foam
· slow roasted pork
tenderloin herb crust accompanied by pumpkin gratin, onion marmalade and beer
crocket
·
chocolate mille-feuille with mango dip, wine jelly and caramel
The gala dinner was hosted by Leos Mares and before
midnight the organizers received a surprise performance by local a cappella
group called Fragile.
As early mentioned, main goal was not only gather
together to celebrate this wonderful cause but mostly financially support the
event by donating the money which will help the women who suffered breast
cancer and want to gain their self-confidence back. During the night, guests
also auctioned one of the bottles of Laurent Perrier’s limited edition,
additional funds were given by one of the sponsors and the rest came from the
tables sale.
One of the highlight of was a fashion show by
worldwide known designed Rashmi Kumari who is currently based in Dubai and who
brought to Bratislava her new line called C’est Moi. This talented designer has
won variety of awards in past years. Few pieces from her collection were also
lately purchased by Latino diva Jennifer Lopez. Rashmi Kumari’s collection
introduced 30 evening gowns which were also auctioned the next day; with no
doubts we will see the ladies wearing some of them at next season’s
balls.
After the official part, guests switched to the
lounge music, enjoyed each others’ conversation and sipped the champagne.
Organizers managed to collect over 35.000 EUR over the night which will be
given to the women fighting the breast cancer disease. Fashion Sparkling
Charity Night 2013 organized by Fashion TV Czech & Slovak proved that the
beauty, fashion and gastronomy is a perfect combination for an increase in
charity awareness.
