Now that winter is firmly upon us it's time to head for the kitchen and knock up a rich beef stew or casserole and leave it simmering for hours.

How about having a New Year's Eve beer dinner for a change?

How about having a New Year's Eve beer dinner for a change?

Posted on December 29 2016 at 07:06

If you haven’t already made your plans for New Year’s Eve why not invite over a few friends and treat them to a beer dinner instead of one based on wine? It’s a great way to open their eyes to the great range of artisanal beers that are now available.

You may know @essexeating for his weekly breakfasts but turns out he’s also a Comté obsessive. This is the sublime comtê tart he made to celebrate his 50th last night along with a humongous piece of Comté cheese. Think he should make himself available for birthday catering. . . . #cheese #comté #cheesetart #cheeseboard #essexeatingI love putting together my annual cookbook round up which is not so much a ‘best of’ as an attempt to match them to the right recipient. So many great books this year, some of which I just haven’t got round to acquiring but thankyou @bru.tto (what a legacy, Russell 💔) @_alex_jackson @dianahenryfood @sabrinaghayour @5oclockapron @joe_woodhouse @jennychandleruk @thesedeliciousthings @kitchenbee @paulflynnchef @fuchsiadunlop @vonbremzen for the pleasure you’ve added to my kitchen (and bedroom tbh as I love to read cookbooks in bed) You can find the post on my Substack - link in bio. . . . #cookbooks #cookerybooks #giftguide #bookloverSo women do drink beer, strong beer at that. @jennychandleruk sneakily snatched this shot of me in what she dubbed my Mrs Thatcher cardigan at @the.portcullis annual Belgian beer festival yesterday along with fabulous landlady Dee. Love the fact one of the beers we were drinking was called Cuvée des Trolls. We also got to share the impossible-to-find Westvleteren which Paul goes over to Belgium to collect in person. Doubt they’ll have any left today but they should have some of the other amazing brews. Head down there if you’re local . . . #beer #belgianbeer #westvleteren #theportcullis #pub #drinklocal #clifton #bristolThere are pictures of Russell Norman all over instagram - everyone is so shocked at his sudden and untimely death. Everyone has a story to tell of his warmth and kindness. He lived and breathed hospitality. So here’s a taste of his genius, the £5 negroni he served at the wonderful @bru.tto. Not just ANY negroni of course - the gin was one he’d developed with Luca de Vita from Alla Testiere and the amaro Select rather than Campari. He could have charged at least double that for it but he didn’t. You sat down with it and all was right with the world. Except now it isn’t. He will be and already is so very much missed.
