Which foods pair best with tawny port?

Posted on September 10 2014 at 13:52

We rarely think of tawny port as a flexible pairing for food. We serve it with stilton, obviously and with hard cheeses like cheddar, with nuts and dried fruits and over Christmas with fruit cake and mince pies but that’s usually as far as it goes.

Loved the snack plate @honeyandsmokerestaurant - the Honeys idea of a snack is infinitely superior to mine! #guest although we had an argument about this and I only accepted on the basis that Itamar would let me take him out to lunch 😂Perfect lunch with @essexeating and @carolinepeel at @sonnystores which just always delivers the goods. Apple, fennel, Gorgonzola and walnut salad, pizzetta, duck tagliolini and rhubarb and pistachio meringue all for £25*. Plus they’re open all day. One of my favourite Bristol restaurants. * the pizzetta was strictly Dan’s but we shared. So 3 courses for 25 quid. Just brilliant! . #salad #pasta #meringue #rhubarb #pizzetta #lunch #bristol #sonnystoresFinally beginning to see the value of pressure cooking. An incredibly tasty lamb curry from @catherinephipps Modern Pressure Cooking in 15 minutes (+ marinating + depressurising but still much quicker than cooking it conventionally). I miss the process of watching the dish evolve but can’t deny it’s efficient. And cheap. . . #pressurecooker #pressurecooking #lamb #lambcurry #curryMothers Day flowers (thanks @wjjbeckett and @mariaallerc 😘😘) and loads of daffs on my #mothersday walk. Really is worth going up to @ashton_court_estate at this time of year especially when the sun is shining . . . #flowers #bouquet #daffodils #daffs #ashtoncourt Follow on Instagram
