Chocolate is supposed to be impossible to match with wine but like any other ingredient it depends on the chocolate and how it’s used.

Frozen milk chocolate and raspberry cake with Rosa Regale Brachetto d’Acqui

One of the courses at the food and wine workshops I hosted for Irish wine importer Febvre at Drury Buildings in Dublin last week was a frozen milk chocolate and raspberry cake - well, sort of cake. More like a cross between a cake and a mousse.

It’s not always the show-off dishes that make a great restaurant but getting the small things right so well done @asador44 for the bread - well actually the best ever sourdough toast both at dinner and at breakfast), the perfectly cooked side of broccoli and the stellar apricot ice cream and sangria sorbet. Also the comfiest bed and the loveliest staff. And no, it wasn’t a freebie. 💯worth your money if you fancy a night away. . . . #sourdough #toast #broccoli #icecream #sorbet #goodfood #hospitality #asador44 #parador44 #cardiffMade the first but what certainly won’t be the last of the recipes from @sami_tamimi’s glorious new book Boustany which is about vegetable-based cooking inspired by his homeland of Palestine. It’s the crushed broad beans with goat’s cheese and preserved lemon salsa. Although he makes it with frozen broad beans and peas which makes it a brilliant storecupboard standby I made it with fresh given both are in season - just the perfect taste of summer. Seems so very wrong that his compatriots can’t eat food like this, and in many cases struggle to feed themselves and their families at all. . . . #broadbeans #favabeans #peas #dip #goatscheese #preservedlemon #boustany #samitamimiForget starters and mains! I could live on restaurants’ ‘snack’ menus these days. Here are 3 from @town.restaurant - the sage fritters, the radishes and the unholy potato sourdough with ‘house gravy’ which might have to go on my Last Supper list. More in this week’s Friday 5 (see link in bio). . . . #snacks #fritti #potatobread #gravy #radishes #townrestaurant #newrestaurant #londonfoodGreat to have an old-school aubergine/eggplant parm the other night @pazzobybianchis plus top notch fritto misto. The set lunch deal is a bargain too at £16. . . . #aubergine #eggplant #eggplantparm #frittomisto #italianfood #bristolfood Follow on Instagram
