Cooking with wine doesn’t have to mean a fancy sauce or a hearty stew but can transform fresh fruit like plums into a deliciously rich dessert.
This is an adaptation of a recipe I first made 19 years ago with shiraz which you don’t see much of these days but can make with any full bodied red.
The secret ingredient? Star anise and cloves which makes it taste like mulled wine.
All you need is a drizzle of cream - or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Going out for supper on a Monday night always seems a bit of an indulgence but exactly what you need to kick off the week, particularly when it’s suddenly autumn. And good to find @1yorkplace_bristol in top form.

Potato beignets with anchovy mayo, whipped smoked cods roe with radishes, fried oysters with harissa, a gorgeously gooey burrata and lobster linguine, all shared which kept both the calorie intake and the cost down!

Really good wines by the glass too including a delicious glass of @weingutchristophbauer gemischter schatz, a field blend of different grape varieties.

So lucky to have this round the corner. Congrats @freddybirdfood and team for creating such a consistently excellent place.

As soon as I spotted that @mark_diacono had a recipe for pasta with runner beans in his glorious new book Abundance I knew I had to make it and it absolutely does my favourite summer vegetable justice. I also added - cos I agree with Mark it’s not quite the right recipe for Parmesan - a little air-fried halloumi which adds a bit of pleasingly salty cheesy crunch. And washed it down with a glass of Albariño.
Well done, Mark. A really lovely, hugely readable book. Shall be making many more recipes from it.

The Belgians take their charcuterie seriously down to an entire section in the supermarket. Fun to make a charcuterie board back where we’re staying. (So much cheese we had to put that on a separate board!)
Also great mustard (and great chocolate, waffles and beer obvs)
