Toulouse sausage and prawn dumplings with sweet chilli sauce and Thierry Puzelat gamay

Toulouse sausage and prawn dumplings with sweet chilli sauce and Thierry Puzelat gamay

Posted on January 20 2014 at 09:04

A pretty wild combination this week at a lovely wine bar, Magnum, we went to in Toulouse on Saturday night. The owner Jérôme’s wife, who originally came from Réunion, had made Chinese-style dumplings with the local Toulouse sausage and prawns served with a sweet chili sauce. Not the kind of thing I would normally go for but he sold it so persuasively we had to give it a go and it was fantastic.

If any day is a day for comfort food it’s a Sunday, particularly these endless gloomy February days. So what could be more cheering than @fergushenderson’s Welsh rarebit which you may have had at @st.john.restaurant. There’s a brilliant trick to making it which means you can prep the topping ahead. Oh, and obviously make sure you have a full bottle of Worcestershire sauce. The recipe, from the wonderful Book of St John, is up on the website now (click link in my bio).

Anyway I spotted this in @piccadillywaterstones on Thursday and demolished it in 24 hours. If you haven’t read it it really is PURE JOY - scintillating, insightful, human, laugh-out-loud funny. The chapter on reading, ‘On Rapture’ says it all. . . . #books #bookstagram #journalism #noraephron #bookloverIs there any better match for a great chardonnay (in this case Stephane Tissot’s 2005 Les Graviers from the Jura) than poulet de Bresse and chips? (Don’t even argue!) Thanks @twolightslondon for an EPIC dinner. #guest. . . . #chardonnay #jura #stephanetissot #roastchicken #pouletdebresse #wine #winedinner #winepairing #foodandwine #twolights #shoreditchStunning set price lunch @bianchisbristol - fritto misto and pappardelle with sausage, mascarpone and tomato ragu. £15 for any 2 courses which can include a main. (Pal had squid ink bucatini and a lovely piece of hake) Incredible value - and much easier to get in than in the evening. . . . #frittomisto #pappardelle #salsiccia #ragu #pasta #bianchis #montpelier #bristol #lunch #instafood #foodstagram Follow on Instagram
