It’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 #theatrelandThe sunny mornings these past few days have been such a joy not least when the sun has been streaming through this weeks’ flowers (from @arena_flowers and #paidfor). It was a treat to myself I started during lockdown - I get them once a fortnight - and it is the best thing I’ve spent money on this year. These are #amaryllis (amarylli?) and they were so large that they filled two vases (swipe for the other one). If you live on your own - or with a partner who isn’t into buying flowers* - it’s the BEST thing you can do for yourself even if it’s just a bunch of daffs. . *although you could always mention that it would make your day 😉 . . #flowers #freshflowers #sunlight #nofilter #selfcare #happiness #wellbeingRunning down the freezer in preparation for Christmas I came across a pack of lamb mince and had a sudden irresistible craving for moussaka. Wouldn’t remotely claim that mine was authentic but reckon I’ve just about nailed the topping, a base of thick white sauce (half whole milk, half yoghurt) + 2 eggs which achieves a nice set custardy texture. And not too much cheese - grated pecorino rather than Parmesan, ideally, and mainly on top. Cinnamon as seasoning always and baked aubergines rather than fried these days though I don’t think you get *quite* as much aubergine flavour coming through. Less oiliness though. Anyway I’m up for further refinements from fellow moussaka fans. Hit me with your tips! . . . #lamb #moussaka #aubergine #eggplant #sundaynightsupper #homecooking #comfortfood Follow on Instagram
