The best wine pairings for anchovies

The best wine pairings for anchovies

Posted on December 16 2020 at 13:00

Since Nigella devoted the best part of an episode of her current TV series and a wonderfully discursive chapter of her new book Cook, Eat, Repeat to anchovies* you may have been inclined to give one of her recipes a try, particularly the sublime anchovy elixir. But what wine should you drink with them?

Nigella makes Riesling fly off the shelves!

Posted on October 1 2007 at 10:02

According to Tesco in the UK, sales of Riesling are up 30% since TV temptress Nigella Lawson used it to make the French classic coq au Riesling - in one programme succeeding in what a generation of wine writers have conspicuously failed to do: to make this grape variety sexy.

Nothing makes me happier than the new season’s spring produce but if you feel it’s a bit early for it weather-wise try this clever recipe from @robjhowell’s gorgeous new book Root. It’s a warm dish of Jersey potatoes with peas, wild garlic and crème fraîche and I can’t think of anything I’d rather eat at the moment. Happily for us Bristolians Rob’s fabulous restaurant @rootbristol reopens for outside dining next week - Simply can’t WAIT! You can get the recipe if you click the link in my biog. I was sent the book as a review copy. Photograph by @alexanderjcollins whose very beautiful account is worth a follow. . . . #root #potatoes #jerseyroyals #peas #wildgarlic #springveggies #bristol #cookbook #robhowellThis is the loveliest book in so many ways. The writing, the recipes, but above all the look and feel of it (swipe to see the gorgeous embossed cover in detail) which explains why ebooks have never really taken off. It comes out next week so order it now so it’s on hand to inspire you during peak herb season. (I’ve already littered it with post-it notes.) That @mark_diacono is a very clever man (besides being a #lfc supporter which makes him a thoroughly good bloke all-round. But buy it even if you’re a Man U fan.) . . . #herb #cookbook #bookstagram #bookcover #booklover #markdiacono #reviewcopySitting in the sun chatting canned wine with MW @liamsteevenson. My selection of 25 is in today’s @guardiang2 with top marks to South African winemaker @aabadenhorst for his ‘Curator’ range which I’d happily take on a picnic. Some of the others not so much though it has to be said I’m not the target audience for wines labelled Babe, Hun and Kiss. A tip: even the dullest cans are improved by drinking them really cold and straight from the tin. There’s also a selection of cocktails from @richardjgodwin, spirits and mixers (from @felicitycloake) and hard seltzers from @whatsamadder.

SO light and such incredible flavour. #easter #cake #familytime Follow on Instagram
