Pairings | Iced vodka and lemon sorbet

A Valentine's dinner for lazy lovers

A Valentine's dinner for lazy lovers

Posted on February 10 2016 at 06:56

Whatever you get up to on Valentine’s night (and truly, I’d rather not know) my guess is you’ve got better things to do than spend it slaving over a hot stove. So this is an unashamed cheat’s menu for you to romance your loved one with the absolute minimum of effort. Needless to say, buy only the very best ingredients.

Back to New Zealand for a mo - two dishes that to me represent the typical vibrancy and colour of Kiwi food: cold smoked salmon with golden beets and nectarine @the_hunting_lodge and duck with carrot, sweet potato and quinoa @tantalusestate on Waiheke island. (The salmon went with an Albariño and the duck with a peppery syrah.) A real feast for the eyes. #guest. . . . #salmon #duck #sweetpotato #carrot #colour #cheflife #waiheke #thehuntinglodge #tantalusestate #wine #winepairing #nzwine #presstrip #colourpop #orange #instafoodWhat happens when you get the @guardianfeast team to cater their own office party? A feast, obviously. A small snapshot of what we ate including an absolutely wonderful aubergine and tahini dish from @ottolenghi (for which he actually apologised because it was aubergines. IMAGINE!), a lovely crunchy red cabbage and nashi pear (I think) salad from - dunno - @we_are_food? - and these insanely good pistachio eclairs from @drraybakes. Also FAB barbecoa pork tacos from @thomasinamiers, clever vegan Caesar salad and some sort of wickedly chocolatey cake from @cheftomhunt, rum baba from @felicitycloake and a mega catch-up with @rachelaliceroddy. You can find all of them in the @guardian every Saturday if you didn’t know 😉. Thanks @lusher_food for making it all happen. What a treat! #braggingrights . . . #partyfood #aubergine #eggplant #ottolenghi #salad #eclairs #pistachio #feast #guardianfeast #instafood #foodstagramIf your mind’s turning to fizz for Valentine’s Day tomorrow be sure to enter this month’s comp to win a case of @nicolasfeuillatte rosé champagne. No, of course you won’t get it by #vday but who says romance begins and ends on February 14th? And you can find it at Asda, John Lewis and Majestic if you can’t wait to see if you’ve won it. Click the link in my profile to find out how to enter. (PS macarons are a good pairing 😍) . . . #valentinesday #champagne #rosechampagne #nicolasfeiullatte #competition #prize #sponsoredSo many great memories from the last two weeks in New Zealand - the amazing #centralotagopinotcelebration, first ever visit to Nelson and Waiheke, new discoveries in Marlborough which is constantly evolving, brilliant food, lovely people. Thanks @nzwineeurope for making it all possible and to all the wineries involved for your time and hospitality.
