Merlot has one of the widest ranges of styles of any red wine from the light, quaffable merlots of the Veneto to the grandest of Bordeaux.

Had such a craving to make @dianahenryfood’s courgette, lime and pistachio cake that I made it for pud yesterday - with a few raspberries on the side to make it more dessert-like. It’s well worth breaching the Telegraph paywall for (not a sentence I find myself saying very often). As you can see from the rather rubbish photo we made significant inroads into it! . . . #cake #courgette #zucchini #lime #pistachio #dianahenryBye Edinburgh. It’s been a blast . . . #edinburghfestival #augustBack at my favourite Edinburgh restaurant @the_palmerston last night for a predictably superb meal. In random order, starting with the roast hake, bacon and agretti (they’re particularly good on fish), melon and cucumber salad with feta, cured trout and crème fraiche crostini and goats curd ice cream with roast strawberries and almond crumble which we shared and wished we hadn’t. Lovely glass of crémant and a bottle of Trebbiano d’abruzzo. Boom! See you next year. . . . #hake #melon #trout #icecream #thepalmerston #edinburghrestaurantIt’s hard to beat Edinburgh on that rare thing in the city - a warm, sunny afternoon (though mercifully cooler than further south) . . . #edinburgh #themeadows #sunnyafternoon Follow on Instagram
