He’s a culinary renaissance man. Chef Jeff Fournier — owner of 51 Lincoln, consulting chef at Townsend’s, abstract artist, and rooftop gardener — also plays the role of personal chef to diners indulging in his five-course tasting dinner at 51 Lincoln (51 Lincoln Street, Newton, 617.965.3100). Fournier chats tableside with his guests to create a personalized, improvised menu made up of the day’s freshest ingredients, then heads into the kitchen to work his magic. Chef’s tasting dinners are available by reservation Tuesday through Thursday and cost $55 per person ($75 with wine pairings). So what if you have to leave the house to find a man who’s attentive and knows his way around the kitchen? We could get used to this.
for your Benefit
There’s nothing like a Botox commercial to turn you off from the sun’s rays. We love that all-natural beauty is all the rage, but a little faux glow never hurt anyone. For a tan without the crow’s feet, slather on Benefit Talk to the Tan, a sheer, sunless facial tint. The streak-free color washes off easily with a gentle cleanser. You can’t say that about leathery, wrinkled skin, can you? Pick up a 1.7-ounce tube-of-tan at Macy’s (450 Washington Street, Boston, 617.357.3000) for $26.
