The best food and wine pairings for Valentine's Day

Posted on February 10 2020 at 08:02

If you're planning a special meal for Valentine's Day you may be wondering which wine to pair with your menu. I've picked some favourite Valentine's Day foods and suggested some matches that should work well with them.

What's the best wine to drink with Christmas pudding?

Posted on December 14 2017 at 07:07

There is an argument that you don't need anything to drink with the classic Christmas pudding*, especially if you've sloshed brandy all over it but if you're pairing other courses of the Christmas meal you might fancy a small glass of something sweet.

Bristol PSA. Carbonara of dreams @bombolonibristol last night - just the right amount of creamy, eggy cheesiness + fabulously crispy guanciale. Good to have you back and see you so busy 😘 . . . #bomboloni #bristol #pasta #carbonara #guanciale #spaghetti #eatlocal #gloucesterroadAnd now for something completely different, gin-lovers. Not so much for what’s IN the gin but what Heston (it would be Heston, wouldn’t it?) recommends you float ON it! And it’s really surprisingly delicious. Click the link in my bio to find out more. (Yes, flagrant clickbait, I *know*!) You can buy it from @waitroseandpartners but this isn’t a sponsored post. Though I was sent it as a press sample, just so you know . . . #gin #ginandtonic #botanicals #oliveoil #hestonblumenthal #waitrose #notsponsored #presssampleI can’t believe how many good recipes there are in @sabrinaghayour’s Simply. Here’s yet another one - the maast-o-esfenaj or spinach and yoghurt with walnuts I made to go with the tepsi kebap that everyone’s making - and yes, I did too just forgot to take a picture of it 🙄. As the name of the book suggests the food is simple but so much more flavourful and interesting than you normally find with easy recipes. You’ll want it even if you’ve got her other books. (This was half the quantity in the recipe btw) . . . #yoghurt #spinach #walnuts #persianfood #iranianfood #simplysabrina #sabrinaghayour #homecooking #vegetarianIt’s not often we have a competition where YOU choose the prize but this month someone is going to be lucky enough to win £200 worth of the regional Italian food range from @sacla_uk. Yup, basically they give you a £200 voucher, you chose what you want whether it’s pesto or pasta, balsamic or biscotti, olive oil or vino. Your Christmas presents sorted or ALL for you and the fam! Click the link in my biog to enter. (Over 18s and UK residents only, I’m afraid.) #sponsored.prize but not paid to post . . . #italianfood #pesto #pasta #oliveoil #wine #sacla #competition #prize #voucher Follow on Instagram
