People occasionally ask me my favourite cheese - an impossible question but Vacherin Mont d’Or is certainly up there in the top 5.

One of the most iconic dishes of Brazilian cuisine is Moqueca, an aromatic seafood stew made with red dendé oil and coconut milk and served with rice and farofa (of course) for extra crunch plus an optional drizzle of chilli oil. This was the version at @jiquitaia at lunchtime today in São Paulo and very tasty it was too. . . . #moqueca #seafood #fishstew #brazilianfood #jiquitaia #saopaulofoodSome terrific Brazilian food at lunchtime @manimanioca today. Fish wrapped in banana leaf with a bean salad and delicious small sweet chillies, farofa and plantain purée, another great salad (Gorgonzola, apple and candied walnuts) and lascas de polvilho which are super delicious giant puffed up crackers made with manioc flour. And - big surprise - a glass of Brazilian orange wine from @era.dos.ventos made from trebbiano. . . . #fish #bananaleaf #farofa #salad #lascasdepolvilho #manioco #saopaolo #jardim #brazilianfood #brazilianwine #orangewineFascinating trip to @vinicolagoes to see how they make winter wines from vines that are basically tricked into having a harvest during the dry but still warm winter rather than the summer, an innovative way of getting round the semi-tropical climate in some regions of Brazil. Will be writing more on this. #brazilianwine #presstrip. . . . #vineyard #vines #winesofbrazil #harvest #winterwines #instawine #winestagramFantastic meal and some terrific wines @tenutafa. Perfect salad with cheese, pancetta, figs and walnuts - great with their lightly wooded alvarinho followed by the most amazing dish of pork, linguiça toscana, beans and shredded greens with their touriga nacional. AND a dish of beef and rice to go with their top wine GOAT which stands - tongue in cheek - for Greatest of All Time. The two young winemakers who own it started making wine in a basement and are still only 26 and 27. The chef @luandamiano, like most of the people they work with, is a mate. Great story. #brazilianwine #guest. . . . #salad #pork #beans #alvarinho #brazilianfood Follow on Instagram
