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

Posted on February 23 2015 at 08:50

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.

When a friend brings a heaped bowlful of perfect mash to the table … To go with a big old pot of stew. (There was at one stage wine in that glass. Was just in the process of switching from white to red 😉) . . . #potato #mashedpotato #mash #beefstew #winterfood #eatingwithfriends #kitchensupperIt might strike you as ironic that as the @thepilgrm’s wine writer in residence I should be talking about not drinking rather than drinking but even if you’re in the booze business - ESPECIALLY if you’re in the booze business - you need to learn how to moderate. If you’d like to take on board those life lessons and/or find out how to transition from dry January join me next Thursday evening (23rd) when I’ll be in conversation with Laura Willoughby of @joinclubsoda. We’ll be tasting a range of the best alcohol-free drinks out there including @saichodrinks @sipsmith’s Freeglider, @botivodrinks and @bristolbeerfactory’s Clear Head Tickets are available from the events section of the Pilgrm website https://thepilgrm.com/article/how-to-drink-without-drinking-with-fiona-beckett and profits from the event will go to the mental health charity @talkclubcharity. Good subject, good cause. Do join us! . . . #moderatedrinking #sober #soberlife #alcoholfreelife #clubsoda #londonevents #londonpaddingtonAs I was felled by a nasty bug on my return from Italy I had to cancel my plans to go up to London so spent the money I’d have spent on my train ticket on a cheering bunch of flowers from @arena_flowers instead. Most of them are in a big vase in the hall but I’ve got the hyacinths in a smaller vase next to where I’m working where they’r wafting their scent through the kitchen. Why don’t we buy ourselves flowers more often? They don’t have to be expensive - just a bunch of daffs will do it. Or maybe you do? . . . #flowers #springflowers #treatyourself #selfcareBristol looking rather beautiful this afternoon in the winter sunshine. . . . #bristol #suspensionbridge #clifton #lateafternoonsun #sundayafternoon Follow on Instagram
