With a career styling for major brands, including Vogue and Vanity Fair, Jacqueline Lemieux-Bokor uses her talents to honor beloved dogs in her new book Remember Me As Sunshine, Love Notes From My Dog.

This is a pet sympathy book to honor and memorialize a beloved dog. A collection of dog poems I’ve written channeling our Vizsla, Boris, are matched to the unique personality of every treasured senior dog photographed. Each spread features black and white dog portraits, in colorful pages with still lifes, made from flowers, rocks and butterflies that you would find on a walk with your dog.

This book makes an incredibly thoughtful gift for the people in your life who either loves, or has loved and lost a dog.

It is filled with beauty and stunning images of older dogs that will capture your heartstrings.

Why you should check out this episode:

  1. Personal Tragedy and Transformation: Jaclyn's journey, marked by personal tragedy with the loss of her beloved dog in a house fire, transformed her outlook on life. This event led her to deeply reflect on her purpose and compelled her to create something meaningful that could offer comfort to others experiencing similar grief.
  2. Connection with Community and Nature: Through her experience, Jaclyn emphasizes the importance of community support and connection with nature during times of loss and hardship. Her book aims to capture the essence of these connections, portraying older dogs with soulful stories and emphasizing the beauty of imperfection and the bond between humans and animals.
  3. Symbolism and Personal Touch: Jaclyn's book is meticulously crafted with personal touches and symbolism, reflecting her own journey and the profound bond she shared with her dog, Boris. Each element, from the black and white photography to the inclusion of forget-me-nots and personalization options, is designed to evoke emotion and provide a tangible way for readers to honor their own beloved pets.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
