After laying low for a couple of years and energizing from his last One Ninety Restaurant venture, Chef Alan Hughes returns once again. But now he's taking his empire online.
"This time around I want to have a different approach with respect to my services," said Alan Hughes. "I want to scale back on the whole restaurant thing and focus on the pleasures of cooking, living, and overall artistic expression. I also wanted to reach out to a global audience. This freedom I can only achieve online."
Hence, his partnership with Mouse Media, Inc., who have developed a website that is search-engine-friendly and Web 2.0 enabled. This means Alan can upload news, photos, and videos on his site virtually anywhere in the world using any computer or mobile device. The site contains sections with recipes, news, videos, wine selections, and in 2010 he plans to roll out e-cookbooks and an online television show.
Alan P. Hughes is an outstanding chef with over twenty years of international experience in leading restaurants. He has received numerous awards, attended numerous congresses, multiple TV appearances, given lectures.
He has worked in various settings from restaurants to catering to private chef and all in between.
Alan has a unique and very simplistic approach to food; he is constantly updating himself with new tecniques, products and approaches to food; but yet, he emphasizes on letting the freshness of ingredients speak for themselves.

Ed Hale New Solo Album Debuts at #14 on College Radio Most Added Chart.
To add traction to this milestone, Dying Van Gogh Records hired Mouse Media to develop banner ads for CMJ.com. The campaign will last for three weeks and consists of flash ads, animated gifs, and e-blast creatives.
Turning the volume down low and showing a softer side has paid off for Transcendence singer and chief songwriter Ed Hale on his newest solo offering. The life or death drama and pathos and over the top emotionalism and passion that listeners are accustomed to hearing from the vocalist are still intact on the new solo set; in fact they’re even more highlighted due to the toned down and hushed atmosphere created by Hale, who co-produced the album along with fellow Transcendence guitarist (and Dreaming In Stereo frontman) Fernando Perdomo. Not only will Ballad On Third Avenue be the singer’s first album to receive airplay on commercial radio nationwide out of the gate, but the new acoustic whisper-pop collection of 11 songs debuted at #14 on college radio’s CMJ Top 200 Most Added Chart this week, the highest debut in the singer’s 20 year career. Out of 200 albums currently spinning on college radio this week it is a remarkable achievement considering Hale has not toured in several years and is a relative unknown compared to the behemoth his better known band Transcendence has become over the last ten years.
Besides a praise-worthy debut, the album also notably picked up several key taste-maker stations including WKBU of Drexel University, WONC in Chicago, IL, and Newark’s WSOU - stations that usually indicate just how well an album might fare months before the final numbers are calculated. If commercial radio follows suit and is successful for Hale’s new solo effort (his first single “I Walk Alone” will be released to Triple A stations all over the United States on August 2nd), Transcendence may find themselves attempting to transcend not only thier own past successes, but the current success of a very edgy strategy - three members of the group have all released successful solo albums this quarter (bassist Roger Houdaille fronts the indie rock sensation of the month Ex Norwegian who have taken the music blog world by storm). The success of the singer’s new solo album only adds to the excitement and anticipation for the band’s new album All Your Heroes Become Villains due to be released in September of this year.
