Steak is a natural partner for red wine, but is there a definitive “best” red for steak?

Wine and pepper

Like salt, pepper has a pronounced effect on wine, often making reds taste softer and lusher than they otherwise would. Unlike salt though, you also find peppery flavours in wines such as Northern Rhône Syrah and Austrian Grüner Veltliner.

Extraordinarily delicious light, airy papanasi (Romanian cheese dumplings) with cream and wild blueberry jam @casabunicii.timisoara tonight. Surprisingly good -if you don’t have too sweet a tooth - with the elegant Bordeaux-like Cuvée Űberland 2021 from @cramelerecaseu which echoes the blueberry notes. #presstrip . . . #dumplings #panasi #blueberryjam #romanianfood #romanianwine #timisoara #winepairing #cramelerecaș #adSpot on from #davidbowie. Reposted from @wisesagesMore cooking from @noorishbynoor’s Lugma this weekend, my current favourite cookbook. This roasted broccoli salad with lime and chilli dressing and Bombay mix was sensationally good. Best ever way of eating broccoli. . . . #lugma #broccoli #salad #bombaymixThe scrambled eggs with purslane and paprika from @edentravels beautiful new book #greenmountains (see how the cover shines!) I actually used rocket as Caroline recommends cos it’s hard to track down purslane but it was delicious. And 3 veg in a plate of scrambled egg (it also included onion and green pepper) makes it virtuously healthy too. . . . #eggs #brunch #vegetarian #healthy Follow on Instagram
