Culinary queen Martha Stewart is collabing with Maman on a new summer menu
This summer, there's something very French and very Martha to look forward to: a menu that represents a collaboration between Maman café and bakery and celebrity lifestyle authority Martha Stewart. It's Maman's 10th anniversary and Stewart's 100th cookbook, so it's a great time for the two forces to join.
Maman, French for 'mom,' serves coffee in toile-patterned to-go cups and their pastries on chic blue and white vintage plates if you stay in house to eat. With locations in New York City and along the East Coast all the way down to Florida (and internationally in Montréal and Toronto), the powerhouse will be serving five menu items developed by Martha Stewart's test kitchen staff and Maman co-founder Elisa Marshall—who says she grew up watching Martha Stewart's show and idolizing her.
When the season changes, a new collection of five limited-time menu items will drop—and this will happen three more times during the yearlong collaboration.
For summer, the five new items are: a tomato tart from Martha's new cookbook, her signature Red Iced Tea, a crème brûlée sugar bun which is described as a brûléed riff on Maman's famed pastry, a kitchen sink cookie and a turkey cobb sandwich.
An in-depth description of each menu item:
The tomato tart has cherry tomatoes, fontina cheese, roasted garlic & fresh thyme captured in a flaky, all butter crust.
The iced tea is made with cold steeped berry-infused hibiscus iced tea served with muddled fresh raspberries, whole blueberries & citrus wheels, and garnished with fresh mint.
The sugar bun is a sugar-crusted croissant with a caramelized top, filled with homemade vanilla pastry cream.
The kitchen sink cookie has a little bit of everything in it (like a kitchen sink): dark chocolate, coconut, sour cherries, apricots and toasted pecans.
Finally, the sandwich is made with oven roasted, antibiotic free turkey with candied bacon, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, romaine, basil leaves and Dijonnaise served on country bread.

Two new aircrafts to appear at International Ayr Show this year
The two air forces will be appearing this September. Both the French Air and Space Force and Belgian Air Force are set to appear at the International Ayr Show – Festival of Flight this September. Organisers are "excited" to confirm the French aerobatic team known as Équipe de Voltige de l'Armée de l'Air (EVAA) as the first of the international aerial displays for the airshow, and a new display for 2025. The breath-taking aerobatic display will showcase the talent of this team of highly qualified elite military pilots, including the current word aerobatic champion. The EVAA operate the Extra EA-330SC high performance aircraft capable of complex aerial manoeuvres. The two aircraft joining the airshow in Ayr will be flown by world class pilots, affectionately known as 'Souche' and 'Brice', who will deliver a two-ship display program featuring their own thrilling individual sections. This year, for the first time, there will be a static display of the Belgian Air Force Augusta 109BA Hirundo on Ayr's Low Green, allowing festival goers an up-close look at this impressive helicopter. The Augusta has been used in roles such as armed reconnaissance, observation, tactical support, medical evacuation and for anti-tank missions. As part of this unique attraction, the public will be able to meet the crew to learn about what they do and find out more about the aircraft. Leader of South Ayrshire Council, Councillor Brian Connolly said: "It's fantastic to be able to announce two new aircraft for this year's airshow – and two international acts at that! The crowds are sure to be thoroughly impressed by the highly technical display put on by the expert pilots from the French aerobatic team, and I'm certainly looking forward to it." Depute Leader of South Ayrshire Council and Portfolio Holder for Tourism, Culture and Rural Affairs, Councillor Alec Clark said: "Excitement is building for the International Ayr Show – Festival of Flight, so it's wonderful to be able to announce that two brand new aircraft are on the bill this year. I'm sure locals and visitors alike will be flocking to the Low Green to catch a glimpse of the Augusta up close and meet the crew!" CEO of The Skylab, Geoff Coxon, said: "I'm absolutely delighted to have the Belgian Air Force attend our airshow. We are aware that as a seaside display, we do not have the ability to get aircraft on the ground so the public can get access to the aircraft as other airshows are able to do. And as the airport is too far away to have a static event whilst the airshow is happening, we decided to almost bring the airport to Low Green so everyone will be able meet and chat to the Augusta helicopter crew. "It is a privilege, and honour, to have the French Air & Space Force join us this year, and we are one of only two displays that EVAA will attend in the UK in 2025. It illustrates how our airshow is now regarded as one of the best In the UK where international teams want to come and display." The event will take place on Friday, September 5 and Saturday, September 6 at Ayr's shorefront - with activities and attractions throughout the Low Green.

Restaurant introduces new £12 fine for customers making common dining mistake
A restaurant has left people divided after announcing a major change that would impact customers who had pre-booked a table. Chef Olivier Vincent, of Restaurant l'îlot in Amboise, France, revealed that they'd be issuing fines to customers who turned up to eat with a different number of people than stated on the booking. A 15 euro (£12.75) charge per person would be added to the bill for more or less people than the restaurant had been expecting, if no advance warning had been given. The chef claimed they'd been experiencing ongoing issues with the wrong number of people turning up and a breaking point came after a frustrating message exchange with a diner who kept changing the number on the booking and then turned up on the day with an entirely different number of people. In a statement (translated from French) on Facebook about the new rule, Olivier explained: 'The l'îlot restaurant announces a change. From now on, if you do not come to the number of guests for whom you have booked, 15 euros will be charged per person. Missing or in addition. Thank you for understanding.' The caption of the post simply states: 'Without warning obviously…..' Olivier told the Mail that the charge could easily be avoided by people calling the restaurant to let them know about the change in numbers before arriving, especially as most have 'their phones on them 24/7'. Hundreds of people commented on the social media post to share their thoughts on the fine, with some claiming the restaurant is 'right' to do this, but others suggesting the charge is 'problematic' as it doesn't account for emergencies. Aurelie Civrais said: 'I understand the background of the message, but the form may not be the right one. 'Emergencies exist. You are not going to give yourself great publicity. Even if the abuse exists, you go a little hard. Imagine an emergency doctor who can't join his family for a meal, or someone who has a family emergency.' Raphaël Coppeland felt similarly, saying that the way the restaurant had gone about making the change was 'problematic'. He posted: 'Your approach is problematic even if you're right down the drain, especially if unreported absences or last-minute modifications impact your revenue and organisation. 'The announcement seems to blame the customers, which can create a feeling of frustration or injustice. It doesn't take into account the unplanned or the forgetfulness, which can actually happen. 'Some customers may interpret this as a lack of trust or an attempt to 'force' consumption, rather than a necessary management and in the face of such a policy, some customers may prefer to turn to more flexible establishments or perceived as more welcoming.' He urged the business instead to 'think twice' about what they were doing. While Ývøuñ Åy said he was 'cautious' of the restaurant's very 'commercial' decision, commenting: 'Convoys do not always arrive at the same time, and especially, those who deserve to honor their reservation are not solidly responsible for the lack of tact (or even cases of force major) of others.' But Olivier simply responded to criticism, saying: 'We're not happy about getting to this point. It's a fact.' Many people were fully supportive of the new charge, including a fellow restaurateur named Morgan Bonnard. She posted: 'Totally agree with you. This type of situation is sadly becoming prevalent. Between ghost bookings, last minute cancellations, and customers arriving very late hoping to be served anyway, it's become a real puzzle. 'For a small establishment, every table matters. A service isn't just about the dishes that come out, it's about careful organisation, a team in the kitchen, precise timing — and when it derails due to reckless behavior, the lack of profit is very real.' Laurent Roussoulières pointed out: 'When you book a plane ticket, train or something, you get a part refunded but a part remains with the company, it's exactly the same, in fact, it's not that much that you probably don't take that kind of transport. On a table of 4 not honored with an average ticket per person of 35 euros we are on a dry loss of 140 euros for traditional type restaurants. On gastronomic we table more on an average ticket of 60 euros minimum excluding wine and drink is 240 euros of dry losses, 60 euros for 4 it's just common sense in my opinion. 'Being a cook, seeing an empty table all a service while it's booked, it's head-breaking… Because we also place orders based on reservations, especially on small structures.' And Laurence Meunier added: 'I think it's quite normal, people just have to warn early enough, it's a lack of living skills, that's what reservations are for. 'You have guests you count eight people, two don't show up without warning, you've done the groceries and cook accordingly. Personally next time I don't invite them. That's how he earns his bread he loses two places, so I completely understand his approach.' According to Google, Restaurant l'îlot serves 'inventive gourmet plates prepared in a down-to-earth restaurant with an open kitchen'. It's garnered a 4.7 out of five rating, with hundreds of five star reviews for the food. One claimed they served the 'best dinner in France', while another praised the establishment for being 'friendly and welcoming'. Others thought the flavours in the dishes really 'sang' and the meals were 'amazing. This comes after diners in the UK recently shared their upset over rising service charges. While we're using to seeing a 10 or 12.5% charge on our bills, some restaurants have quietly raised this to 15% and it's been claimed by experts that it could go up to as much as 20 or 25% in future, in line with American tipping culture. More Trending A number of popular restaurants have already started adding a 15% charge to bills so it's not difficult to see how this could quickly increase. In London, European restaurant The Wolseley has a discretionary 15% service charge as well as a mandatory £2.50 cover charge. Similarly, Fallow in St James's Market, a popular brunch spot, adds a 15% service charge to bills and a £1 charge to be donated to support the UN Women UK.

Snoop Dogg's dog dies
Snoop Dogg's dog dies His beloved pet has passed away Snoop Dogg (Image: Getty Images ) Snoop Dogg's dog has died. The Drop It Like It's Hot hitmaker was given French bulldog Juelz as a 43rd birthday gift from Wiz Khalifa in 2014 but now his beloved pet has passed away. Snoop shared a video of Juelz in the front seat of his car, soundtracked by Weldon Irvine's 'Morning Sunrise' and wrote on Instagram: ""Rip @juelzbroadus [crying emoji]Thank wiz for giving him to me.(sic)" The 53-year-old rapper then shared a second video, which featured a montage of Juelz with Snoop and his family and friends over the years, with Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's 'See You Again' playing over the top. He wrote: "Miss my dogg @juelzbroadus (sic)" Juelz had his own Instagram account, which had thousands of followers and documented his adventures with his famous owner over the years. Meanwhile, Snoop - who has another French bulldog, Frank - recently admitted he is keen to open a food stall at Celtic Park, the Scottish home of his favourite soccer side Celtic. Article continues below He told Scotland's Sunday Mail newspaper: "There has always been the opinion that food at sports stadiums is never good but that ain't got to be the case. "People know that Snoop is a cook and I would love to bring a pop up burger to a sports stadium to show fans that food at stadiums can be good. "It's got to be Celtic Park man, I mean where else am I going to bring it. "The secret to a good burger is the love in the preparation. The ground beef has got to be mixed with some secret spices, then add a good quality cheese and some maple cured bacon. "The Celtic fans are gonna love it, and to make sure they are just right, Snoop is going to be serving them himself." But Snoop has no interest in offering his food to Celtic's great rivals rangers. Article continues below He said: "Am I going to bring my burgers to Rangers as well? Nah, I think we will give that a miss!" Snoop revealed back in 2012 that he wanted to buy shares in Celtic after watching the Parkhead side beat Barcelona in the Champions League in November that year. At the time he said: "I got a lot of interest in soccer. It's not a new thing for hip hop stars to invest in sports teams but it is a new thing for hip hop stars to invest in soccer teams...I see how passionate Celtic fans are about their team and I could see myself making an investment if any of the board wanted to sell...I want to bring a bit of Snoop to things."
