What sort of food to pair with prosecco?

What sort of food to pair with prosecco?

Posted on August 13 2021 at 07:14

Prosecco is so often drunk on its own that you may not have given much thought to the kind of food you can pair with it but if I had to sum it up in two words it would be ‘party food’

Great 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 #cookasyouareAD: Do you like cheese? Silly question maybe - let’s rephrase that! Do you take the trouble to search out and try cheeses from small artisan cheesemakers? Well @pipersfarm does which is why I’ve worked with them to recommend drink matches for their lovely cheese boxes. I say drink cos they’re not all red wine which is what we instinctively reach for with cheese. Pipers stocks some great West Country ciders too so I’ve recommended the @wildingcider Ditcheat Hill with their Cheese Feast box (along with a delicious Malbec Un Jour au Lot 46) and @piltoncider’s rich, sweet keeved cider with the Big Cheeseboard as well as a brilliant Spanish red called Gran Cerdo aka Big Pig. (Good story - read the post which you’ll find through the link in my biog!). The other pairings in the post which basically tells you how to go about pairing wine and other drinks with cheese is a WHITE wine - trust me, it works - and a sensational sweet apple liqueur called Kingston Black which I’ve suggested with the indulgent Cheese Box for Two. You can find details of all the boxes on the Pipers website and their insta account @pipersfarm. Final thing - saving the best till last - there’s a £10 discount off the cheese boxes, drinks and in fact anything else on the Pipers site if you use the code FIONA at the checkout. If you’re planning ahead, which everyone seems to be doing this year, the Christmas shop is open now. . #cheese #cheeseboard #cheeseplatters #cheesebox #cheeseandwine #cheeseandcider #winepairings #naturalwine.
