Chef Brown did a live demonstration of fine cooking in the Aston Martin Residences Kitchen, featuring Gaggenau appliances and Bulthaup cabinets, for everyone in attendance. The design of the Aston Martin Residences Kitchen by Marek Reichman, EVP and Chief Creative Officer at Aston Martin, brings together a balance between the tropical South Florida outdoor climate and the warm indoor kitchen space.

"The equipment is fantastic," said Chef Brown, as he began the demonstration. He prepared and served dishes including Fresh Salmon Confit with Garden Herb Salad (the appetizer at Prince William’s wedding), 10-Hour Slow Roasted Pork Belly (the main course at Prince Harry’s wedding), and Sticky Toffee Pudding with Clotted Cream (a favorite of Her Majesty The Queen). The classic Miami sunshine lighted the Downtown Miami sales gallery of the British carmaker's branded luxury tower.

“The Aston Martin Residences Kitchen further harnesses the expression of Aston Martin’s design DNA and architectural excellence,” said German Coto, CEO of G&G Business Developments. “Gastronomy will play an important part of the family living experience at Aston Martin Residences, whereby the kitchen often forms the soul of the home for loved ones and friends who come together socially and culturally to share their passion for food. A shrouding of radiance, purity and warmth ensures the kitchen environment is both intimate and inviting for both casual cooks and the most seasoned gourmand, who can enjoy today’s top-of-the-line appliances and amenities with relaxing confidence. The Aston Martin Residences Kitchen pays homage to the Art of Living and our commitment to its indelible imprint of impeccable design.”

Chef Brown moved to Miami less than two months ago, after spending over 15 years in some of the UK and Europe's best restaurants, where he worked with culinary icons like Jamie Oliver and Robert Clayton. He has started to infuse South Florida with contemporary and upscale English cooking, which he excels at and delighted the guests during the event.

“I’m delighted to mark my debut in Miami by this most unique collaboration with Aston Martin Residences,” he said. “I chose a series of classic British meat and fish dishes that have been served and enjoyed as favorites of the royal family for generations. I pride myself on engaging the audience with a traditional culinary experience by cooking with authentic ingredients used in recipes taken from England’s southern counties, Victorian London and the Cotswolds region in particular, where the heritage of Britain’s royal family belongs. I also wanted to demonstrate the true character and essence of English culture and how you can really feel at home with your own comfortable style of cooking in the brilliance of an Aston Martin Residences Kitchen.”

Nicknamed "The Island of Love," Seychelles has also played honeymoon host to George and Amal Clooney plus Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade among other famous faces.

An Island Oasis in the Indian Ocean

Located 1,133 miles northeast of Madagascar, this island chain boasts some of the world's most beautiful beaches and exclusive hotels.

Arriving by private jet, after somehow keeping their destination a secret for weeks, the newlywed couple landed on the secluded North Island. Consisting of only 11 luxury villas, Prince William and Kate Middleton found themselves nestled among pearlescent sand, coconut palms, and lush green takamaka trees.

Each private villa faces Anse d'east Beach, showcasing the breathtaking ecological beauty of the coast and lightly chopping Indian Ocean current.

Private Beachfront Villas

Guests staying in these secluded dwellings tucked away just behind the tree line, enjoy a large master bedroom, second bedroom, and changing room with en-suite bath.

There are three ways to rinse off from a day at the beach. Indoor and outdoor showers provide convenience, while the handcrafted Balinese natural stone baths offer a chance to soak the stress away.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge would not have had to see another soul unless they wanted to–even when going for a swim. A private plunge pool and lounge is a part of this premium villa experience.

A Unique Barefoot Luxury Experience

Staying on North Island is always all-inclusive, and there are several additional spa treatments available that can be personalized to the needs of each guest. Escaping to this beach allows nature to clear the mind while the body is properly pampered.

Vacationers who tire of lounging under graceful punka fans can take a picnic on the beach or observe the many species of birds that call this island home. Every villa also gets its own golf cart for easy island exploring. There is also a certified dive-center on site for anyone who elects to do some world-class scuba diving.

Premium Service in an Environmentally-Friendly Setting

It is impossible not to feel special staying at a place like this. The service and dining are unparalleled. One recent traveler to the island, who vacationed with his family in a villa, remarked, "our butler was great, always one call away, always ready to be of service in any way he could."

Guests that stay here seem to especially enjoy the little things that make North Island special. There are friendly sea turtles that greet newcomers outside the villas, and fresh water bottles are placed everywhere by unseen staff throughout the day.

It comes as no surprise that Prince William and Kate Middleton selected the "3rd Best Hotel in the World" according to Condé Nast Traveller Readers in their 2014 awards. This ultimate lover's paradise starts at $8,600 per night.
