The best wine pairings for anchovies

The best wine pairings for anchovies

Posted on September 1 2022 at 09:00

If you're an anchovy lover you'll probably go ahead and eat them whatever wine you're drinking but being both salty and fishy they certainly go with some better than others.

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.

One of the highlights of this week’s scoffing with my pal @fionasims was this salt cod hash aka bacalhau à brás @bardouro in @flatironsquareuk in London. Which was basically a mash-up of salt cod and matchstick fries - comfort food of the highest order. It went brilliantly well with this slightly smoky Portuguese white - Bar Douro has a really interesting list which it also sells online. I also loved this light gamay-ish red Ginga and this dinky little mushroom pie which you won’t want to share (so don’t). A terrific little bar which will make you think about Portuguese wine in a different way (no, it’s not all port and chunky reds). #guest . . . #saltcod #bacalhau #mushroompie #wine #portuguesewine #naturalwine #bardouro #flatironsquareSumptuous spread and beautiful table setting for the launch of @sophie_grigson_herself’s newTV series Slice of Italy. Can’t wait for the book to be able to make these gorgeous biscotti and wickedly good chocolate and olive oil mousse. #guest. . . . . #puglianfood #italianfood #biscotti #sophiegrigsonssliceofitalyRaw Caesar mushroom, celery and parsley salad @boca_di_lupo. Fresh seasonal ingredients, sympathetically handled, not over-fussed but still pretty as a picture.

If there’s a better bar snack in London I don’t know what it is. Srsly.
