Which food to pair with South African chenin blanc

Which food to pair with South African chenin blanc

Posted on June 17 2017 at 05:26

You might think it odd to pick out South African Chenin rather than Chenin Blanc in general but I do think the wines are distinctive, particularly when it comes to the crisper styles which are much zestier than they tend to be in the Loire

Somehow I ended up having this Singapore crab and chips at two successive meals @therockfishuk this weekend. Don’t ask 🙄😂 #dartmouthfoodfestival #guest. . . . #crab #singaporecrab #spicy #chillies #foodfestival #rockfish #dartmouth #mitchtonks #tonksedGreat line-up of rosés at my @dartmouthfoodfestival tasting today ranging from whisper pink to near crimson and from still to bubbly. From L to R classically elegant @maiaprovence, @chateaubauduc’s deliciously fruity Bordeaux rosé @chefrickstein edition @dunleavyvineyards delicate pretty English rosé (made from Regent and Seyval Blanc - check out their crowdfunder), @bodegasmuga more substantial savoury rosado, @domainemaby’s deep, deep pink Tavel, @camillodonati’s gently fizzy cherryish pet nat and @boschendalwines immensely drinkable MCC rosé which has one of the the prettiest bottles out there (from festival wine theatre organisers @michaelsuttonscellar). Still an overall preference for the paler styles but good to get across that there are more sources of rosé than just Provence - and that you can drink it year round. (Reckon Tavel would be great with the Boxing Day leftovers and the Muga with paella and tapas!) . . . #rosé #rosado #roséallday #winetasting #instawine #winestagram #foodfestival #dartmouthfoodfestivalThree rather blurry low light pix from a brilliant meal at @andriadartmouth last night. Scallops with artichoke and guanciale, crab with apple, ginger and lemon sorrel and hake with smoked butter sauce, caviar and samphire. Great ingredients, really clever imaginative cooking and singing flavours. @susyatkins and I had been told it was good but we were blown away. . . #scallops #crab #hake #smokedbutter #restaurant #dartmouth #dartmouthfoodfestival #andriadartmouth #instafood #foodstagram #finedining Some dishes were compdFirst dive into @ruby.tandoh’s Cook As You Are with her carrot, lemon and tahini soup. I so agree with Ruby’s intro to the recipe: “I don’t know what it is about soup that inspires so much uncertainty among my otherwise kitchen-savvy friends. I know people who can make a lasagne from scratch but ask them to make soup and they freeze”. Well, not quite in my case but I certainly lack inspiration so was really pleased to find this riff on the standard carrot soup (made with a stick blender so not too boringly smooth). It’s definitely the time of year we need soup in our lives so I’m determined to do more experimenting this winter. Do share your favourites and recent soup finds. . . . #soup #carrot #carrotsoup #tahini #comfortfood #vegetarian #rubytandoh #cookasyouare Follow on Instagram
