Pairings | French wine

A classic English meal with a perfectly matched French wine

People occasionally ask me what characterises British food. Unlike French or Italian food it can be hard to pin down, there are so many different ethnic influences but last night I had a meal that was quintessentially English summer food.

Always jump at the chance of going round cheese maturing rooms (especially when the cheeses are infused with truffles) This one was on my recent Spanish trip - Queseria Campoveja in Serrada. Oh and they were sheep cheeses in case you’re wondering!. #presstrip. . . . #cheese #queso #sheepcheese #cheesemaker #campoveja #nofilterLunch today didn’t *quite* measure up to yesterday at the 1 Michelin-starred La Botica de Matapozuelos, a small village just south of Valladolid that has more than its fair share of great restaurants (See my previous post on Méson de Pedro) Fascinating to put Rueda wines through their paces with these different dishes. #compd #guest. . . . #finedining #foodandwine #matapozuelos #michelinstar #ruedaDon’t eat meat that much these days but this grilled rabbit and lamb at Meson de Pedro in Matapozuelos was just insanely good. Such a busy, bustling place too. Seats 300! . . . #openfire #barbecue #grilling #rabbit #lamb #lunch #guest #presstripGreat meal at @lacocinademanuelvalladolid last night. Delicious, imaginative food. Squid, salt cod, a lovely goat cheese salad with apple purée (really worked) and a carpaccio of bonito with piparras (pickled chillies) which went really well with the younger style of Rueda. Oh, and lovely Manuel ... . . . #restaurant #guest #squid #saltcod #bacalao #goatcheese #salad #whitewine #rueda #foodandwine #valladolid Follow on Instagram
