Last night we had a fun five course wine and food matching dinner at Rockfish Grill in Bristol which showed the range of wines you can match with fish. Here’s a few thoughts about how we approached it for those of you who are organising a similar event.

Cuttlefish is a pain to prepare as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall points out in the Guardian today but it is particularly delicious to eat. It’s often partnered with robust flavours so you need to think in terms of equally intense flavoured wines.

Wines for some tricky Chinese dishes

When I read Mark Hix recipes in The Independent today they were so challenging that I nearly gave up but as everyone else seems to be writing about asparagus today and I’ve done a lot on asparagus recently there was no other option . . .

This is soursop - a local cactus-like fruit with a sweet creamy flesh that you can use to make a smoothie. No blender in the apartment so we just mashed it up with a squeeze of lime. Anyone else have suggestions as to what to do with it?. #holdersfarmersmarket. . . . #soursop #fruit #caribbean #barbados #marketstall #farmersmarketUnexpected shortage of flying fish which means the fabled flying fish cutter is expensive and in short supply. This lovely lady at the local fishmongers gave us her last 3 together with a tub of homemade Bajan seasoning to make our own. Salad and plantain crisps on the side. . . . #barbados #fish #flyingfish #bajanfood #fishmonger #flyingfish #barbadosLoved Barbados so much this time last year that we decided to come again. Arrived at the airport at 3.15, were on the beach by 5.30. Utter bliss. . . . #barbados #mullinsbeach #beach #sand #sea #holiday #wintersunDo you - should you - drink wine with noodles? Depends on the dish in my view. I don’t think it works with ‘wet’ noodles but with a dish like this pad Thai absolutely - why not - though there are many other good options as well as you’ll see from my latest post.
