The most perfect Provençal-style summer tart from Alex Jackson's evocative book Sardine, named after his former London restaurant although you can now happily find him at Noble Rot Soho.

Before we finally plunge into winter here's a late autumn supper menu from my book Food, Wine and Friends that combines the best of autumn’s produce with a couple of convenience products.

Before and after. There is something very happy-making about putting up the Christmas tree. Thanks @eventsbychantal for the help and @regthe_veg for delivering it to my doorstep. . . . #christmastree #christmaslights #decorationsUnless you have some iberico (or ordinary) pig cheeks in the fridge you may have to plan this amazing recipe from @sherrymonster44 and @bar44tom ’s brilliant new book Tapas y Copas ahead. It’s cooked with Pedro Ximinez sherry and you can find the recipe through the link in my bio. Picture by @matt_inwood. Treat yourself! . . . #pork #ibericopork #porkcheeks #sherry #pedroximinez #tapasycopas #px #bar44Gloriously creamy Gorgonzola from @thaneeprince’s neighbourhood deli @dagiovannadeli for a fabulous indoor picnic yesterday (see next shot for the full spread) Thane is a great cook but appreciates the fact that you don’t need to be the one who makes the food, simply to know how to put a delicious meal together and where to go for good ingredients. (Living near Essex Road helps!) it’s a win win situation, less work for the host, supports your local indies and your guests actually get to chat with you rather than watch you getting flustered over the food. (Not that Thane would ever get flustered). There were also three ages of comté (this happens when you visit a food writer) and a bottle of one of my favourite natural wines Hurluburlu. Oh and the MINCE PIES from @jolene_colebrookerow were AMAZING. . . . #lunch #picnic #cheese #gorgonzola #comté #hurluberlu #bread #easyentertaining #foodwithfriendsMany delicious things to eat last night on @launcestonplace’s festive tasting menu including this gorgeous dish of roast celeriac and pecorino and these wicked little deep-fried potato stacks which came with the main course venison. Also a lovely Xmas tree. We were in the private dining room but the main dining areas are incredibly pretty. Good for a romantic night out. (There’s also a good value set lunch) #guest. . . . #celeriac #potato #deepfried #finedining #tastingmenu #kensington #londonfood #londonrestaurants Follow on Instagram
