When it comes to champagne, and it is Global Champagne Day on 19th October after all, we like to quote Lily Bollinger of the House of Bollinger Champagne.

Believe it or not, Chinese New Year 2017 is only just underway, but in the SK kitchen we have already started planning for 2018! 2017 is the year of the rooster, which is apt given we have two in the kitchen. No, I don’t mean the feathered version, but our Head Chef John and Senior […]
