Matching wine and soup

Matching wine and soup

One of the few food and drink combinations I don’t feel that happy about is wine and soup. Not all soups, obviously, but many of them.

Never miss a post!

I never used to think of myself as a feminist. I thought those battles had been fought and won but after recent events including the manhandling (literally) of a peaceful protester by a Government minister Mark Field the other day It’s impossible to ignore the fact that men will still use their physical superiority to control women when it suits them. Women of all ages should feel safe as they go about their day to day lives. Other women - and decent, responsible fair-minded men of which there are many - must stand up for them. It’s the 21st century - let’s not go backwards @untameableshrews .

So lovely to be invited to share a delicious lunch today cooked by @romygill and her remarkable dad. Thickly smothered spicy lamb chops (dad’s recipe) dal, potatoes with poppy seeds, green beans, squash and homemade mango chutney all served with perfect light chapattis cooked by Romy over an open flame. Is there a nicer way to eat than sitting round a family table? (Also got a sneak preview of her new book Zaika which comes out in September and which looks absolutely 💥💥)

Fabulous midsummer feast at @fromthetribe’s last night cooked by @ellenfauxparr in aid of @helphomlessbristol. Almost seems indecent to dwell on the food which was perfect - light and boldly spiced - but included Hanoi-style fish with turmeric and a dill and fennel salad and spicy Podina chop with mint and coriander chutney. Hot air balloons drifted over on cue. Thanks to @jennychandleruk for the picture of us all and, as always, great company. You can support Help Bristol’s Homeless at helpbristolshomeless.org.
