OK, it’s not your typical burrito but a lighter recipe I made from @chefrickstein’s book The Road to Mexico. Super tasty and even better with this wine pairing. Link in bio. #matchoftheweek . . . #mexicanfood #chickenburritoStarting backwards the most sublime custard tart @restosune last night. Also don’t fail to order the charred flatbread, fried pigs head and oysters with kumquat mignonette and dip into the brilliant winelist including this Bacchus/Ortega blend from Natalia Harris in Sussex. New one on me but excellent. Thanks @abbiemoulton for showing me your local. . . . #winebar #naturalwine #hackney #custardtart #flatbread #oyster #bacchusHard to see where the beetroot stops and the bowl begins with this delicious beetroot borani I rustled up from a bunch a neighbour kindly donated from her garden. The recipe comes from Sam and Sam Clark’s book Morito but you can find it online on the @thehappyfoodie website. Topped with crumbled feta, walnuts and dill it’s guaranteed to win round beetroot haters. @sams_moro @moritotapas . . . #beetroot #beets #dip #feta #morito #samclark . .Is there anything better than finding a bread table at a restaurant where you’re allowed to go and choose your bread and butter? Genius idea @josh_eggleton @theponychewvalley. The garden was absolutely gorgeous too. . . . #bread #sourdough #theponychewvalley #chewvalley #somerset #josheggleton Follow on Instagram
