If you're a fan of Gold Notting Hill, or you're partial to a riverside view, you'll want to get Tower House on your radar. Taking over a mid-19th century riverside home, complete with a clock tower that pays homage to Queen Victoria's coastal residence Osborne House, Tower House sounds like it's going to be a real Richmond highlight. Inside there'll be heirloom collectables and outside, a riverside garden offering views of the Thames, Richmond Bridge and Twickenham Bridge.

When Mark Barak, a former corporate executive, became a restaurateur, he decided to take better care of his employees in terms of financial benefits and health care, in order to help them, lessen its turnover rate and boost profits. That strategy is paying off at his six La Pecora Bianca's and one Mama Mezze, all in Manhattan. For a dozen years, Barak held several senior executive positions including a three-year stint from 2009-2012 as senior vice-president of international development at the NBA.

Instead, she opts to "only dress tuna with lemon juice and olive oil so you can taste the product." Whereas a creamy mayonnaise will mask the fishiness of tuna, Ray believes that olive oil and lemon juice are complementary flavors that showcase tuna's distinct flavor.

I'll admit-when Alex first suggested pan-fried cod for dinner, I wasn't exactly thrilled. "Fried cod" doesn't sound particularly exciting, right? But man, was I wrong! Here's what makes this recipe a game changer: No coating needed: Skip the flour, breading, and batter-the spice blend does all the work.
