A Krug champagne lunch at Murano: a perfect 10

A Krug champagne lunch at Murano: a perfect 10

Posted on November 7 2012 at 09:28

It’s rare to go to a wine event and be blown away by the matches at every course but my recent lunch at Murano devised by Angela Hartnett and her sommelier Marc-Andréa Lévy was as close to perfection as it gets.

Rabanadas and tawny port

Having been in Portugal for three days this week it’s no surprise that my top match this week is a port but the food pairing is surprisingly simple and delicious.

A real pleasure to interview one of my food heroes @pierre.koffmann last night about the reissue of his wonderful book Memories of Gascony. The best book you’ll find on old school French food. Talked recipes, restaurants and cooking from the heart. And potatoes obviously. You totally need your own copy. @villagebooksdulwich @thefoodheroesfamily . . . #memoriesofgascony #pierrekoffmann #cookbooks #frenchfoodWho remembers this iconic book, published in 1982 that changed the way we think about curry? Curry is the subject of my latest #welllovedcookbookchallenge, a monthly return to the books we grew up on and still love. I’ve been asking my readers to share and maybe remake their favourite curry recipe from a book that’s over 10 years old and have had some great suggestions already (see link in bio). Do tell me yours. . . . #curry #cookbook #madhurjaffreyAfter two days of unseasonably soggy weather it’s been glorious to see Tuscany in the (albeit slightly watery) sun. Especially the stunning estate and gardens of @chianticlassico producer Villa Calcinaia. . . . #tuscany #wine #vineyard #chianticlassico #greveinchianti #presstripPerfect day yesterday to see the white cliffs of Dover at first hand - for the first time, in my case.
