The GRAY GOOSE bar served the main IHF cocktail throughout the evening - Le Grand Fizz - proof that vodka and gastronomy are inextricably linked. Achieving the standard of taste in a cocktail is an art, a fine piece of jewelry. Mixology requires the same skill and dedication as a chef in the kitchen.

The organizers remained true to the spirit of the Moscow Gastronomic Festival and invited the guests of the Dessert Ball to continue experimenting with flavors. Christian De Nadai from Four Seasons Moscow created a special recipe for desserts, where he directly used coffee as an ingredient and coffee as a flavor vapor. The result was a surprisingly harmonious combination: “Avocado with airy vanilla” and Nespresso Lounge Origin Guatemala and “Coffee ganache with ginger and coriander” accompanied by Nespresso Ristretto Origin India. The Nespresso Professional coffee bar treated guests to the perfect espresso, cappuccino and latte, while Italian mineral water Acqua Panna and S.Pellegrino accompanied the exquisite desserts.

Rich Juice at the Dessert Ball for the first time presented the innovative Rich Crystal bottle, created in collaboration with one of the most famous industrial designers in America, Karim Rashid. Juice no longer requires glasses: Rich Crystal and a bright straw are the perfect presentation that emphasizes the multifaceted taste of Rich.

The festival is over and we all need to be patient and wait for the next Moscow Gastronomic Festival, for new amazing discoveries from the work of chefs and pastry chefs!

So many desserts in one place and at once? It is impossible to resist, it is unrealistic to try, and willpower refuses to work.

What's happened "Dessert Ball"? This is the official closing ceremony of the XI Moscow Gastronomic Festival, which took place in Moscow, when you could go to restaurants, try tasting sets and give your own ratings. And also the opportunity to try the “calling card” of the restaurant at an affordable price and form your own idea about the cuisine and the restaurant.

At the “dessert ball” the winners are announced, awards are presented, drink Nespresso coffee and Martell cognac (even those who were driving couldn’t resist a small cocktail, just shhh!).

Imagine a room in the Atrium of a hotel Baltschug Kempinski, full of desserts and only desserts? Now remember that Halloween is coming soon and complete the picture with pumpkin-skeleton desserts.

What do I personally remember from desserts? Tartlets with chestnut cream from Christian Lorenzini and desserts from the Bank restaurant.

I didn’t try even a tenth of everything there was! But the next morning I had heavenly pleasure in the form of “bird's milk” from Grand Cafe Dr. Zhivago” and I want to repeat it!

In turn, Visa's innovative solutions enable financial institutions to offer their customers a wide range of financial instruments, including debit, prepaid and credit card products.

Grand Marnier

Grand Marnier is an unusual combination of cognac with the taste of wild green oranges from the Caribbean islands. The original bottle with a satin red ribbon and wax seal has remained unchanged for 130 years, reflecting the rich history of the drink, traditions and attention to detail of the creators of the House of Grand Marnier, creator Louis-Alexandre Marnier-Lapostolle, who embodied an incredible idea, combining the noble taste of cognac with the best French lands with the tartness of wild green oranges from the Caribbean. The combination of time-tested classics and the exotic gives the character of Grand Marnier strength, courage and sensuality and challenges stereotypes.

Cocktail Grand'O: A new twist on Grand Marnier mixed with freshly squeezed orange juice and soda. Orange juice is a classic cocktail ingredient, but when combined with Grand Marnier, it brings out the full flavor and tartness of wild green oranges from the Caribbean. French cognac adds depth, complexity and length of flavor to a drink. Soda is refreshing and brightening.

S. Pellegrino

S.Pellegrino - the water of haute cuisine, has been present on the best tables of 120 countries around the world for 110 years. The basis of this success is high quality, unique style and the embodiment of Italian elegance. It was these values that united S.Pellegrino with the famous Italian textile brand Missoni and led to the creation of a joint project - an exclusive limited series of bottles “S.Pellegrino meets Missoni”. The designers of the house of Missoni interpreted the characteristics of water and dressed the S.Pellegrino bottle in a sophisticated outfit with the famous Missoni zigzag.

S.Pellegrino and Missoni invite you to meet the easily recognizable Missoni style in the best restaurants of New York, London, Paris, and, of course, Moscow, only in autumn 2010.

Live in Italian! Live and enjoy life the Italian way!
