Vinsobres with wild boar stew and chestnut polenta

Vinsobres with wild boar stew and chestnut polenta

You’d expect a Southern Rhône red to go with wild boar but in fact it was the chestnut polenta that made the match with this former Côtes du Rhône ‘cru’ so successful

Olive oil vanilla and pistachio cake with Muscat de Rivesaltes

It was a tough call to single out the best pairing from my meal at Galoupet in Knightsbridge last week but as I haven't featured a dessert for a while this just shaded it.

If any day is a day for comfort food it’s a Sunday, particularly these endless gloomy February days. So what could be more cheering than @fergushenderson’s Welsh rarebit which you may have had at @st.john.restaurant. There’s a brilliant trick to making it which means you can prep the topping ahead. Oh, and obviously make sure you have a full bottle of Worcestershire sauce. The recipe, from the wonderful Book of St John, is up on the website now (click link in my bio).

Anyway I spotted this in @piccadillywaterstones on Thursday and demolished it in 24 hours. If you haven’t read it it really is PURE JOY - scintillating, insightful, human, laugh-out-loud funny. The chapter on reading, ‘On Rapture’ says it all. . . . #books #bookstagram #journalism #noraephron #bookloverIs there any better match for a great chardonnay (in this case Stephane Tissot’s 2005 Les Graviers from the Jura) than poulet de Bresse and chips? (Don’t even argue!) Thanks @twolightslondon for an EPIC dinner. #guest. . . . #chardonnay #jura #stephanetissot #roastchicken #pouletdebresse #wine #winedinner #winepairing #foodandwine #twolights #shoreditchStunning set price lunch @bianchisbristol - fritto misto and pappardelle with sausage, mascarpone and tomato ragu. £15 for any 2 courses which can include a main. (Pal had squid ink bucatini and a lovely piece of hake) Incredible value - and much easier to get in than in the evening. . . . #frittomisto #pappardelle #salsiccia #ragu #pasta #bianchis #montpelier #bristol #lunch #instafood #foodstagram Follow on Instagram
