I had been meaning to try my hand at Îles Flottantes for years, but it needed a day midway through a holiday when a cookery disaster and a gazillion dirty pans didn’t matter. Anyway, here they are! The custard didn’t curdle and my caramel worked first time.

What lies beneath… Fifteenth century choir stalls in Geneva’s beautiful St Pierre Cathedral. How I love this city! I’m back presenting at the Concours de Genève. This morning was fascinating, interviewing string quartet semifinalists on their personal artistic projects.

I’m still coming down to earth after last night’s @GramophoneMag Awards. What an utter privilege too to be seated literally at the feet of our sublime Artist of the Year, Veronique Gens, as she sang.

In which a classical guitarist packs the room @OsloHackney playing Augustin Barrios Mangore, Chopin, Beethoven... Thibaut Garcia, what an artist, and what a treat to hear his @WarnerClassics El Bohemio album live.

I love this. The village of Kronberg is currently sporting a red carpet anywhere that leads to a @KronbergAcademy Festival venue.

Wow the @KronbergAcademy’s new Casals Forum sounds AMAZING. As did Augustin Hadelich, @ChambOrchEurope and Robin Ticciati just now. I’ve just arrived for the Kronberg Academy Festival - my first visit here - and clearly I’m going to have a good time.
