Jasnières, Gorwydd Caerphilly and apple, pear and ginger jelly

With the icy weather it’s been a week for staying duvet-wrapped indoors as much as possible so I haven’t encountered my usual range of stimulating food and wine matches but this was a top one, facilitated by my friends Todd and Jess of cheesemongers Trethowan's Dairy.

I can see why people sometimes snort with derision when I tell them how hard I work! Today kicked off with 20+ y.o. magnums of Côte Rôtie and Vieux Donjon Chateauneuf du Pape at the @yappaboutwine Rhône tasting followed by the @champagnegossetofficiel Matchmakers competition (which was won by the talented team @fischersbaslow who cleverly discovered that caramelised celeriac is a genius match for a Blanc de Blancs - along with scallops) You’re not remotely sympathetic? Can’t blame you really but not *every* day is like this. Honest! . . . #coterotie #chateauneufdupape #rhone #yapp #champagne #gosset #winepairing #wineandfood #wine #instawine #winestagramvHad the dreamiest place to stay for @ludlowfood at @dinhamweirhouse which is just below Ludlow castle (compd but I did work for my accommodation!). Unfortunately it’s only let as a whole house normally but if you want to go somewhere with a group of friends to celebrate a wedding or a big birthday I can’t think of a better place. (It has its own kitchen - see also @jennychandleruk and @5oclockapron’s feeds) Although I had a blast at the festival - my first time - I can’t wait to go back to Ludlow out of season and explore when the streets are quieter. It’s such a stunning place. . . . #foodfestival #ludlowfoodfestival #dinhamweirhouse #view #river #ludlow #accommodation #ukbreaksThe utter, utter joy of @sessionsartsclub - such a beautiful space, so many great things to eat including this faultless petit aioli, a crispy eel and potato stack, plump little clams cooked in riesling and the lightest, fluffiest panisse I’ve ever tasted. Terrific wine list too served by the hugely engaging Molly. And a perfect lunch companion in @dawndaviesmw. Good to be back in London. . . . #sessionsartsclub #petitaioli #eel #clams #panisse #instafood #foodstagram #newrestaurant #londonrestaurantsBeyond proud of my son Will - and his brilliant team - for finally opening the long awaited @hawksmoornyc tonight. It’s been a lonnng haul but what strikes me looking at the pix over the last few weeks is what fun they all look as if they’re having. Hawksmoor has always been a joyous place but the new NY outpost looks very special. And that BUILDING - OMG. Can’t WAIT to go! . . . #hawksmoor #hawksmoornyc #newyorkrestaurant #newrestaurant #proudmom #proudmama #proudmum Follow on Instagram
