Butternut squash and barrel-fermented Chardonnay

Butternut squash and barrel-fermented Chardonnay

Posted on November 27 2006 at 22:21

Even if you're not a fan of the blockbuster style of Chardonnay still favoured by many producers you have to admit it meets its match in butternut squash. Why? Because the rich sweetness of the squash kicks the sometimes over-exuberant tropical fruit and vanilla-scented oak into touch and magically transforms them into an elegant, refreshing glassful.

Great 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 #bristolfoodYou can’t really see the crab but this was an absolutely cracking dish of bucatini cooked Malaysian style with crab, garlic, soy and crispy chilli oil from @julielincooks terrific new book Sama Sama. (The chilli crisp puttanesca). Lots of similarly inventive and enticing recipes. Check it out next time you’re in a bookshop. . . . #samsama #pasta #bucatini #crab #chillicrispThe loveliest of salads (fennel, peas, broad beans and pecorino) followed by boudin noir with spring veg (an unlikely but brilliant combination) last night at @cave.bristol. Top use of in season ingredients by @charliehearncooks. . . . #cave #winebar #bistro #gloucesterroadbristol #bristolfood #salad #boudin #springvegetables #eattheseasonsThe utter joy of Hockney’s paintings of the English and Normandy countryside showing in all their glory @fondationlv. Well worth the trip to Paris - not that I need much encouragement #theycantcancelspring #davidhockney #parisart Follow on Instagram
