Book dinner at Fig & Olive a sprawling new European villa on Melrose place. You’ll find 8,000 square feet of branzino, scallops and olive oil (it’s used instead of butter), so this is where you’ll want to book your next dinner party for up to 300 of your favorite expats. (New Yorkers have been doing this for years. There are three Figs in Manhattan, but this is the first one outside New York State.)

Upon entering, you’ll see a long marble bar disappearing into the horizon—start here with a bite of Zucchini Carpaccio and a Custom Dirty Martini, with three types of olives and brines to choose from. (Also: vodka.) Then you’re ready  feast at the 50-foot communal table. Or under the olive tree in the towering stucco dining room. Or out on the enclosed patio, scented with rosemary plants (and covered by a magically disappearing ceiling). Once dinner’s wrapping up head to the balcony champagne bar. That’s where your nightcap could entail a Piscine (iced bubbly with strawberries) or a Fig Mojito. – UrbanDaddy.Com

Any WIFE who runs a house, raises children and tries to make time for herself must be spinning like a top. With grocery shopping always on the to do list and an empty stomach to feed on the go, I’ve recently discovered the Juice Bar at Whole Foods Market. I’ve been extremely fond of  the “Sweet Green Garden” smoothie. It’s a mix blend of Spinach, Kale, Bananas, Strawberries, Ice and Agave, which sounds gross but tastes pleasantly sweet. So next time you find your energy running low while picking up ingredients for tonight’s dinner be sure to pick up a cup of healthy goodness. 20 Ounce Smoothie $6.99

I recently Discovered Beverly Hills Juice Company through a friend and have been going daily for the most delicious fresh pressed juice. I’m addicted to “The Big Ten” (Carrot, Beet, Celery, Kale, Spinach and Parsley) but since recently getting sick have been getting Apple Lemon Double Ginger, which was a terrific remedy. A bottle of juice will run you around 5.00 and is worth every penny.

In his quest to make the most nutritionally beneficial juice, David Otto became versed in the advantages of juicing with a hydraulic press. To press juice, fruits or vegetables are first ground into a fine pulp, wrapped in cloth bags, and then squeezed at a very high pressure by the hydraulic press. Compared to other methods of juice extraction, pressed juice has a higher nutritional content: more vitamins, more minerals, and more amino acids. Additionally, pressed juice is exposed to a minimal amount of oxidation, and therefore maintains a shelf life of a few days instead of minutes. Beverly Hills Juice presses and bottles batches of juice every morning, making pressed juice available for customers to pickup each day.

Beverly Hills Juice supports local, organic agriculture. They adapt their menu to the seasons and source most of their ingredients from local farms. They purchase the majority of our produce at farmer’s markets, where the average farmer travels 150 miles to bring her crop to market. Coconuts, bananas, ginger and cinnamon are not typically grown in California, and are sourced from organic suppliers.

Since 1975, Beverly Hills Juice has operated under a strong ethical code that promotes a healthy and balanced way of life. Their appreciation and gratitude for the earth is reflected in everything that they do. Beverly Hills Juice continually searches for the best practices that will limit their environmental impact, decrease their use of petroleum-based products, and contribute to the regeneration of the earth’s polluted resources. Some of their sustainable business practices include: Cups and Straws made from Sugar Cane Fiber, They do use bags to encourage customers to bring their own, all deliveries are made with a volkswagen TDI clean diesel car, all paper used is 100 recycled processed chlorine free and all waste generated is commercially composted.

All our food comes straight from our farms: our meat and poultry, fruit and veg from our market garden, bread from our bakery: and cheese, milk and yoghurt from our creamery. To make our soups and meals, our chefs use only the freshest ingredients, combined with simple techniques to bring out the natural flavours of our seasonal, organic produce.

When we don’t make a product on our farm, we source from artisan suppliers who share our commitment to quality and sustainability and who produce items to our recipes. We are fully transparent in that you can visit our farm to see for yourself how our animals are kept, where our vegetables are grown and how our food is produced.

Organic farming means that food is produced the way nature intended; free from GM, artificial additives, fertilisers, growth promotors and herdicides. At Daylesford, we firmly believe that organic farming is better for our health, our animals and the environment – and it always tastes better.

Our farmshop and café on Westbourne Grove is located at the heart of the Notting Hill community. The first thing you’ll notice is the fresh, seasonal produce delivered daily from our farms market garden, artisan cheese and breads from our creamery and bakery, organic meats from our animals – serviced by a real butcher; everything you need for a good value, fresh weekly shop. Our organic café is a place to eat, drink and relax with friends and family or take-away for lunch or to take home as part of your, good, fresh weekly shop.
