There were many great pairings to pick from in Chablis last week but the one I’m going for is a cheese I was relatively unfamiliar with: Soumaintrain

Hard to see where the beetroot stops and the bowl begins with this delicious beetroot borani I rustled up from a bunch a neighbour kindly donated from her garden. The recipe comes from Sam and Sam Clark’s book Morito but you can find it online on the @thehappyfoodie website. Topped with crumbled feta, walnuts and dill it’s guaranteed to win round beetroot haters. @sams_moro @moritotapas

Is there anything better than finding a bread table at a restaurant where you’re allowed to go and choose your bread and butter? Genius idea @josh_eggleton @theponychewvalley. The garden was absolutely gorgeous too.

It’s not always the show-off dishes that make a great restaurant but getting the small things right so well done @asador44 for the bread - well actually the best ever sourdough toast both at dinner and at breakfast), the perfectly cooked side of broccoli and the stellar apricot ice cream and sangria sorbet. Also the comfiest bed and the loveliest staff. And no, it wasn’t a freebie. 💯worth your money if you fancy a night away.

Made the first but what certainly won’t be the last of the recipes from @sami_tamimi’s glorious new book Boustany which is about vegetable-based cooking inspired by his homeland of Palestine. It’s the crushed broad beans with goat’s cheese and preserved lemon salsa. Although he makes it with frozen broad beans and peas which makes it a brilliant storecupboard standby I made it with fresh given both are in season - just the perfect taste of summer. Seems so very wrong that his compatriots can’t eat food like this, and in many cases struggle to feed themselves and their families at all.
