Wine and beer matches for Mexican food

Posted on February 7 2009 at 08:38

Mark Hix may have been knocking back the tequila on his recent trip to Mexico but if you’re not made of such stern stuff try my alternative suggestions for his Mexican-inspired recipes in the Independent today.

Not sure how I fitted in a cooked breakfast this morning @thethreehorseshoesbatcombe after a dinner of roast grouse with (quite unnecessary) chips. But I did. More to follow on the BED which was absolutely sublime. As are the very lovely Christmas decorations. Least said about the weather the better obvs 🙄 . . . . #grouse #chips #fryup #fullenglish #thethreehorseshoes #batcombe #somerset #notafreebieYou may know @essexeating for his weekly breakfasts but turns out he’s also a Comté obsessive. This is the sublime comtê tart he made to celebrate his 50th last night along with a humongous piece of Comté cheese. Think he should make himself available for birthday catering. . . . #cheese #comté #cheesetart #cheeseboard #essexeatingI love putting together my annual cookbook round up which is not so much a ‘best of’ as an attempt to match them to the right recipient. So many great books this year, some of which I just haven’t got round to acquiring but thankyou @bru.tto (what a legacy, Russell 💔) @_alex_jackson @dianahenryfood @sabrinaghayour @5oclockapron @joe_woodhouse @jennychandleruk @thesedeliciousthings @kitchenbee @paulflynnchef @fuchsiadunlop @vonbremzen for the pleasure you’ve added to my kitchen (and bedroom tbh as I love to read cookbooks in bed) You can find the post on my Substack - link in bio. . . . #cookbooks #cookerybooks #giftguide #bookloverSo women do drink beer, strong beer at that. @jennychandleruk sneakily snatched this shot of me in what she dubbed my Mrs Thatcher cardigan at @the.portcullis annual Belgian beer festival yesterday along with fabulous landlady Dee. Love the fact one of the beers we were drinking was called Cuvée des Trolls. We also got to share the impossible-to-find Westvleteren which Paul goes over to Belgium to collect in person. Doubt they’ll have any left today but they should have some of the other amazing brews. Head down there if you’re local . . . #beer #belgianbeer #westvleteren #theportcullis #pub #drinklocal #clifton #bristol Follow on Instagram
