I’ve written before about pairing wine with Chinese food - and so have some of my contributors but here’s a slightly different way of going about it that may help you decide which bottle to choose and make your pairings more successful.

Who 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. Hard to get Vera Lynn out of your head … . . . #stmargaretsbay #whitecliffsofdover #cliffs #sea #coast #kent*that* spider crab omelette @mountain.restaurant. You slice it down the middle and it falls open in all its glory. And the colour of the eggs …. Just amazing. More highlights in this week’s #friday5.
