Weekend links.

Hey gang - how was your week?  I had an insanely busy Wednesday (the gif this week comes from the launch of the Louvre Abu Dhabi rooftop terrace) and made it over to Garden for the Flavours of Peru menu on Sunday night.  This weekend is my birthday, but we're keeping it pretty low key, and getting together with friends for a chill evening (with champagne and caviar, natch).

• Italians responding to restaurants is the hilarious Twitter account you need to follow.
• Have you been to an 'Ed Sheeran restaurant?'
• Do you have an unusual cookbook?
• What is said in the kitchen and why it matters.
• Just because I like deviled eggs (and now I want some).
• Seven famous television kitchens.

Next week I'm filming my next episode of What's Cooking UAE and as of now, have no reviews lined up (which is fine by me).  I've made a lot of progress on my novel and hope to pass 30K words this weekend. What are you up to?
