If you're having a late summer barbecue this weekend here is one of the most delicious - and surprising recipes - from my book An Appetite for Ale. I love serving them because no-one has the faintest idea they have beer in them.

Ad: 3 of the courses at today’s spectacular Albariño lunch @bar44tapas Cardiff. Citrus-cured wild sea bass with olive oil and fennel seed crackers, red prawn stuffed baby cuttlefish with a rich inky bisque sauce and a lovely cheese plate featuring the award-winning Olavidia cheese. I knew that Albariño went with seafood but there were so many other insights - raw fish, citrus, salty crackers, rich shellfish (a good match for an older wine) and CHEESE! White wine with cheese is so often better than red. . . . #seabass #rawfish #cuttlefish #seafood #cheese #albariño #whitewine #winepairing #foodandwineWas so intrigued by the garlic-stuffed chicken with pistachio, sour cherry and herb pilaf that @rebecca_woollard posted as part of the @thegfw challenge the other day that I made it for friends last night (with a @pipersfarm chicken - part payment for our recent collab) and must say it was TOTALLY delicious. You basically roast the chicken over a pan of uncooked rice which you mix with full cream milk and chicken stock (yes, weird, but it works) then fork through the cherries nuts and herbs. I also made the @ottolenghi test kitchen sprout and kale salad with it from Shelf Love (leaving out the hazelnuts and extra Parmesan cos we had chicken and enough nuts in the pilaf) which went really well with it along with a bowl of yogurt with some harissa paste spooned through (a @sabrinaghayour idea). Too much going on to take pix so am ‘borrowing’ @katewhitaker01’s shot and regramming it. You can find the recipe on the @deliciousmag website. Do make it! . . . #chicken #roastchicken #rice #pilau #pilaf #instafood #foodstagram #foodphotography #regramIt’s easy to get a fixed idea in your head about what you should pair with a particular ingredient or dish - blue cheese and port for example - but if you think about the other ingredients on the plate it can take you in a totally different direction. This hugely tasty salad @bullinn_totnes included radicchio, walnuts and sharply flavoured pickled pear along with the local Beenleigh Blue with the result that it was a great match for a crisp fruity white (and turned out to be my #matchoftheweek) Click on the link in my biog to find out more. . . . #salad #cheesesalad #bluecheese #beenleighblue #radicchio #pear #pickledpears #whitewine #winepairing #foodandwine #instawine #winestagram #totnes #ipaidforthisBookending our meal @joeallenlondon tonight, an impeccable Jerry Tomas Manhattan and a ‘broken’ apple pie with Bakewell ice cream which @fionasims and I virtuously shared. (Tbh that was all we had room for.) Didn’t feel that different from when we used to go in the 80s, down to the tinkly piano. (They have six pianists on rotation) Perfect place to go pre- or post-theatre if only for a drink in the bar.#guest . . . #joeallen #cocktails #manhattan #applepie #coventgarden #london #theatreland Follow on Instagram
