Pairings | Fried chilli prawns with pea shoots

Wines for some tricky Chinese dishes

Posted on May 10 2008 at 08:41

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 . . .

Sorry, bit of a blitz of pictures of me this week but wine writers are not immune to #fangirl moments and I couldn’t resist the opportunity to have my photo taken with one of my winemaker heroes Jean-Louis Chave at the @yappaboutwine tasting on Wednesday. The 16th generation to make wines in the legendary Hermitage, he makes truly magnificent long lasting reds (we tasted a 1983) and, even better to my mind, glorious rich golden whites that are among the greatest I’ve ever tasted. Sadly they’re totally out of my price bracket but I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to drink them. (Yes, I did sip one or two - who wouldn’t?) #guest (obviously). . . . #wine #instawine #winestagram #hermitage #chave #winelover #rhoneLunch of joy at @qualitychop yesterday - every dish a winner including the unmissable golden crunchy confit potatoes (from their new book which was published yesterday) and a dreamy rice pudding with apple and walnuts. Gorgeous bottle of Tibouren too. @danlepard and I were two very happy bunnies as you can see from the last slightly boozy shot (#regram Dan). You can find the recipe for those potatoes of wonder on my website right now - thanks for sharing @shaunsearley.

Thanks guys! #guest. . . . #snacks #indianfood #indianstreetfood #samosas #bhaji #clifton #bristol #eatlocalthinkglobalWe’ve got a really REALLY good competition on the website this month - a six bottle case of @champagne_billecart_salmon Sous Bois, an absolutely gorgeous champagne which is vinified and aged in oak and matured for 6-7 years. It’s definitely a champagne to drink with food - think wild mushroom risotto, grilled lobster or roast chicken. The prize draw closes at 11.59pm on Sunday December 1st - click the link in my bio for how to enter. . . . #competition #prize #champagne #billecartsalmon #sousbois #instawine #winestagram #sponsoredcontents Follow on Instagram
