Bye Edinburgh. It’s been a blast . . . #edinburghfestival #augustBack at my favourite Edinburgh restaurant @the_palmerston last night for a predictably superb meal. In random order, starting with the roast hake, bacon and agretti (they’re particularly good on fish), melon and cucumber salad with feta, cured trout and crème fraiche crostini and goats curd ice cream with roast strawberries and almond crumble which we shared and wished we hadn’t. Lovely glass of crémant and a bottle of Trebbiano d’abruzzo. Boom! See you next year. . . . #hake #melon #trout #icecream #thepalmerston #edinburghrestaurantIt’s hard to beat Edinburgh on that rare thing in the city - a warm, sunny afternoon (though mercifully cooler than further south) . . . #edinburgh #themeadows #sunnyafternoonGot a sneak preview of @sabrinaghayour’s latest book Persiana Easy and made the creamy prawn orzo - a really simple storecupboard recipe for two. (The dill I added just cos I had some knocking around in the fridge was unnecessary. It really doesn’t need any adornment) #sabrinaknowsbest What would I drink? A Pinot Grigio you might be surprised to hear. It gets a bad rap but it’s really good with a slightly spicy seafood pasta dish like this.
