The best food pairings for assyrtiko

The best food pairings for assyrtiko

Posted on July 29 2021 at 08:36

There are few grapes that bring Greece to mind like Assyrtiko, the saline wonder of the Cyclades. But what do you pair with it? As often, the answer depends on the winemaking style and terroir, because there is not one Assyrtiko (I should know, I recently tried 80 of them.)

I love this Spanish twist on baklava from José Pizarro's gorgeous new book Andalucia - it would make the perfect end to a summer meal.

There is festival food and there is @baxcooka of @wearewildartichokes festival food. The legendary Friday night speakers dinner morphed into a ‘Friday night fry- up’ this year with salt cod fritters and aioli. pigs head croquettes with gribiche and - best of all - deep fried pasta with veal, leeks and prosciutto. (Swoon) And loads of other delicious stuff as well, cos …. Jane. @afoodfestival good to be back. . . . #friedfood #fritters #croquettes #croquetas #deepfried #friedpasta #partyfood #abergavennyfoodfestival #abergavennyI can see why people sometimes snort with derision when I tell them how hard I work! Today kicked off with 20+ y.o. magnums of Côte Rôtie and Vieux Donjon Chateauneuf du Pape at the @yappaboutwine Rhône tasting followed by the @champagnegossetofficiel Matchmakers competition (which was won by the talented team @fischersbaslow who cleverly discovered that caramelised celeriac is a genius match for a Blanc de Blancs - along with scallops) You’re not remotely sympathetic? Can’t blame you really but not *every* day is like this. Honest! . . . #coterotie #chateauneufdupape #rhone #yapp #champagne #gosset #winepairing #wineandfood #wine #instawine #winestagramvHad the dreamiest place to stay for @ludlowfood at @dinhamweirhouse which is just below Ludlow castle (compd but I did work for my accommodation!). Unfortunately it’s only let as a whole house normally but if you want to go somewhere with a group of friends to celebrate a wedding or a big birthday I can’t think of a better place. (It has its own kitchen - see also @jennychandleruk and @5oclockapron’s feeds) Although I had a blast at the festival - my first time - I can’t wait to go back to Ludlow out of season and explore when the streets are quieter. It’s such a stunning place. . . . #foodfestival #ludlowfoodfestival #dinhamweirhouse #view #river #ludlow #accommodation #ukbreaksThe utter, utter joy of @sessionsartsclub - such a beautiful space, so many great things to eat including this faultless petit aioli, a crispy eel and potato stack, plump little clams cooked in riesling and the lightest, fluffiest panisse I’ve ever tasted. Terrific wine list too served by the hugely engaging Molly. And a perfect lunch companion in @dawndaviesmw. Good to be back in London. . . . #sessionsartsclub #petitaioli #eel #clams #panisse #instafood #foodstagram #newrestaurant #londonrestaurants Follow on Instagram
