Spaghetti puttanesca - or ‘whore’s spaghetti’ to translate it literally - is a full-flavoured pasta dish with strong, punchy flavours but which wine should you pair with it? As with other pasta dishes, it’s all about the sauce.

Mondays are generally the day when I clear out whatever’s in the fridge - in last night’s case some rather tired tomatoes and a couple of open jars of capers and olives which I turned with the help of a few anchovies and the tail end of a bunch of parsley into a pasta puttanesca. And paired with some leftover wine (yes, there is such a thing) - a delicious @olifantsberg pinotage from South Africa which went perfectly. I don’t know about you but most of the time I cook for one or two, not four which seems to be the standard recipe size in cookery books. You’ll find more recipes for two on my Substack if you click the link in my bio - I’ve just posted a good one today! . . . #pasta #puttanesca #leftovers #fridgeforage #pinotageEveryone’s talking about picky bits right now - the nibbles and dips you have before - or even instead of - a meal. But what do you drink with them? Depends where in the world the picky bits come from so I’ve written a mini guide to help you out which you can find via the Linktree link in my bio. .

Here are 3 of the 6 dishes we ordered (minor peeve - why ‘’suggest’ we needed 8-10) which were all excellent. Sea bass crudo, datterini tomatoes and spanakopita gratin with malawach (a Yemenite flatbread). Really imaginative delicious food. Convenient central location overlooking Borough Market too. . . . #crudo #tomato #spanakopita #flatbread #omalondonA fabulously retro chicken dish from a Katie Stewart cookbook my old uni friend @judithmjohn made for me last weekend which I tweaked, substituting grapes for olives.Recipe coming!
