A perfect starter for credit crunch entertaining

In London the trend was started by Rowley Leigh and picked up on by Paul Merrony of the Giaconda Dining Room*. The return of hors d’oeuvres, that tasty little selection of small dishes that preceded tapas but which had fallen from favour along with many other elements of French bistro cuisine.

Didn’t get round to eating this stupendous @meatpeter Glenarm shorthorn sirloin steak yesterday so there was nothing else for it but abandoning meat-free - and alcohol-free - Monday. Cos it would be rude to eat a steak as good as this without a glass of red wine, wouldn’t it? (A 2010 @planetawinery Maroccoli syrah, since you ask) Did manage to resist making chips though 😇#meatspreemonday . . . #beef #glenarmshorthornbeef #shorthornporn #steak #sirloinsteak #meat #meatpeter #giftedI’ve got a bit obsessed with cheese straws during lockdown as they’re super-easy to rustle up if you’ve got some cheddar knocking around in the fridge so to ring the changes yesterday I stamped them out into little biscuits which seems to make them even lighter and crunchier. I reckon they could do with a bit of adornment by way of an egg wash glaze or a scattering of sesame seeds or grated parmesan but they’re pretty good as is. The recipe (which I’ll post on the website once I’ve decided the topping) makes 24-26 biscuits which sounds a decent amount but be warned. They Don’t Last Very Long! . . . #cheese #cheddar #cheesebiscuits #homebaked #homemade #instafood #foodstagramPicnic of dreams from @wilsonsbristol on a perfect summer afternoon @belmont_estate_bristol. The man himself nursing a suspected broken ankle from leaping rather too energetically up the terraced seating 🙄, the HAMPER which included divine smoked trout rillettes, truffled potato salad and a decadent strawberry and crème patissiere dessert with marigold meringue. On a proper Picnic Rug! And the wild flowers and the views over the North Somerset countryside. More great events in store apparently - check out @belmont_estate_bristol to hear about them first. #guest . . . #picnic #picnichamper #alfresco #smokedtrout #truffles #potatosalad #strawberry #meringue #chef #janwilson #wilsonsbristol #belmontestate #bristol #somersetContinuing my new lockdown habit of drinking fine wine with fast food, two superb grand cru Alsace rieslings with an admittedly pretty superior takeaway from @nutmegbristol. Mutton biryani, duck chettinadu, cauliflower sabzi and tarka dal. ❤️ Indian food. . . . #curry #biryani #chettinadu #sabzi #riesling #alsacewine #grandcru #winepairing #foodandwine wine #instawine #winestagram Follow on Instagram
