Which foods pair best with whisky?

Posted on May 16 2020 at 08:16

I’ve been a bit of a sceptic in the past about pairing food with whisky. Not that there aren’t some great combinations but I find it hard to sustain for more than one dish.

Some of the glorious orange wines I wrote about in @guardianfeast this weekend. Deep, rich, amber-hued, more like a red wine than a white, they’re great with middle-eastern and Turkish food as you’ll see if you click on the link in my bio. . . . #orangewine #amberwine #skincontactwine #naturalwine #wine #instawine #winestagram #foodandwine #winepairingLovely late summer lunch yesterday at one of my favourite London restaurants @brawn49. Pitch-perfect vitello tonnato with wonderfully tender rose veal followed by a fiery southern-Italian style spaghetti with squid. In fact the whole menu has got more Italian: our wine - a deep-coloured Vino di Anna rosato from Sicily - was too. Sunlight streaming through the windows, endlessly entertaining company from @trevorgulliver and flawless unfussy cooking from owner Ed Wilson who is one of the best chefs in town. What’s not to love? Go! . . #Brawn #Hackney #veal #vitellotonnato #pasta #spaghetti squid #rosato #lunch #indiansummerI have found the ultimate Emergency Kitten. Her name is Shiso aka @shiso_the_cat and she belongs to my pal @signesjohansen and her husband @gomungo. She is just RIDICULOUSLY cute and fluffy - just look at those tufts on her paws 😻 We just sat and gawped at her and talked about her to the exclusion of anything else which is A Good Thing when you think how many shitty things are going on in the world at the moment. Best kitten EVER. . . . #cat #catsofinstagram #kittens #kittensofinstagram #emergencykittensYesterday’s expedition to @theethicurean to pick up some pottery bowls I’d bought from their kitchen sale (see last shot) turned into a richly rewarding walk round their heavenly garden. September is always a good time to visit because of the orchards but yesterday was particularly stunning. They’re closing in a week for a refurb (exciting news to follow) so take advantage and wander round. Somerset at its best. . . . #theethicurean #barleywoodwalledgarden #wrington #bristol #somerset #garden #orchard #apples #herbaceousborder #flowers #plates #bowls #autumn Follow on Instagram
