Smoked salmon is most commonly associated with champagne but in fact it goes with many other wines as well as with beer, whisky and vodka.

Had totally forgotten about this South African seed bread until a South African winemaker @brucejackwines reminded me I used to be obsessed with it. It’s one of those incredibly easy breads that don’t require any kneading and only a half an hour’s rise. It’s made with malthouse flour with added bran, sunflower, sesame and poppy seeds and is DEElicious with cheese or with honey. Will post the recipe on the website at some point in the next couple of days.
Incidentally YOU can help Bruce and other South African winemakers by buying a bottle or two of SA wine this week. Since the domestic ban on alcohol sales was reimposed it’s been super-tough for them and their employees. They need our support.

I was going to save this hainanese chicken rice from @fatriceuk for supper tonight but it looked - and smelt - so appetising I couldn’t resist having it for lunch. It’s a delicately aromatic dish with a bit of a chilli kick from the accompanying sauce. Real comfort food.
Just one of the amazing takeaways that you can now get in Bristol - delivered direct which means they keep the hard-earned profit not Deliveroo or Uber Eats.
Ordering a takeaway might seem indulgent midweek but it’s a good way of supporting small local businesses. And it makes a proper lunch break. (Sure you’d approve @bexseal !)

So enjoyed talking about my desert island wines last night with @pierrethewinebuyer of @thewinesociety1874. The first was the fabulous Coddington Chardonnay from @kumeu_river which Is comparable to a top white burgundy. I was lucky enough to visit the winery and meet the winemaker Michael Brajkovich back in February last year and have lunch with the Brajkovich family. We drank a 2008 Hunting Hill Chardonnay which was still astoundingly fresh - with roast lamb with which it was every bit as good as a red. I bought 3 bottles of each wine when the Wine Society released the 2019 vintage in November but will be hanging onto that for a while. They still have some of the Coddington left - or did yesterday. So very grateful I got the opportunity to go there before the world ground to a halt. Michael is definitely one of my wine heroes.

Now don’t get the idea that posting pix of myself has gone to my head but I promised @thewinesociety1874 that I would remind you I’m live on their account at 6pm GMT tonight talking about my desert island wines. Well, actually more the wines that I’m finding interesting right now cos if we all posted about the wines we’d want to drink on a desert island we’d probably all chose the same thing (buckets of rosé). The dapper chap who is interviewing me is @pierrethewinebuyer and - swipe left - that’s him hard at work. What we’d all have chosen to do as a job if we’d thought about it.
Anyway do join in and ask loads of questions.
