First dive into @ruby.tandoh’s Cook As You Are with her carrot, lemon and tahini soup. I so agree with Ruby’s intro to the recipe: “I don’t know what it is about soup that inspires so much uncertainty among my otherwise kitchen-savvy friends. I know people who can make a lasagne from scratch but ask them to make soup and they freeze”. Well, not quite in my case but I certainly lack inspiration so was really pleased to find this riff on the standard carrot soup (made with a stick blender so not too boringly smooth). It’s definitely the time of year we need soup in our lives so I’m determined to do more experimenting this winter. Do share your favourites and recent soup finds. . . . #soup #carrot #carrotsoup #tahini #comfortfood #vegetarian #rubytandoh #cookasyouareAD: Do you like cheese? Silly question maybe - let’s rephrase that! Do you take the trouble to search out and try cheeses from small artisan cheesemakers? Well @pipersfarm does which is why I’ve worked with them to recommend drink matches for their lovely cheese boxes. I say drink cos they’re not all red wine which is what we instinctively reach for with cheese. Pipers stocks some great West Country ciders too so I’ve recommended the @wildingcider Ditcheat Hill with their Cheese Feast box (along with a delicious Malbec Un Jour au Lot 46) and @piltoncider’s rich, sweet keeved cider with the Big Cheeseboard as well as a brilliant Spanish red called Gran Cerdo aka Big Pig. (Good story - read the post which you’ll find through the link in my biog!). The other pairings in the post which basically tells you how to go about pairing wine and other drinks with cheese is a WHITE wine - trust me, it works - and a sensational sweet apple liqueur called Kingston Black which I’ve suggested with the indulgent Cheese Box for Two. You can find details of all the boxes on the Pipers website and their insta account @pipersfarm. Final thing - saving the best till last - there’s a £10 discount off the cheese boxes, drinks and in fact anything else on the Pipers site if you use the code FIONA at the checkout. If you’re planning ahead, which everyone seems to be doing this year, the Christmas shop is open now. . #cheese #cheeseboard #cheeseplatters #cheesebox #cheeseandwine #cheeseandcider #winepairings #naturalwine. Paid partnership with Pipers FarmSo very lucky to have got to see the @yayoikusama_ exhibition at the Tate Modern. Was it enhanced by tasting/drinking @veuveclicquot La Grand Dame first? Quite possibly but it really was spellbinding. Kusama’s story is extraordinary too. She’s lived in a psychiatric hospital since the 1970s and is still creating installations in her 90s. Sadly it’s booked solid until the exhibition closes in March but hopefully there’s a film about her out there somewhere. Certainly read about her. #guest . . . #art #installation #lights #mirrorrooms #yakoikusama #champagne #veuveclicquotThe sybaritic life of my pals @signejohansen’s and @gomungo’s cat @shiso_the_cat recovering from an evening’s prowling in her own little cat cocoon next to the radiator. #itsacatslife. . . . #cat #catsofinstagram Follow on Instagram
