Wine (and other) pairings for peaches and nectarines

Posted on August 11 2018 at 06:17

Being surrounded by peaches and nectarines at the moment has reminded me what a brilliant match they are for a glass of dessert wine. And, surprisingly, even for a red!

A Middle-Eastern inspired barbecue for eight

Here's a barbecue with a difference from my book Food, Wine and Friends. The centrepiece is a spiced, butterflied leg of lamb served with a delicious Turkish-style bulghur wheat salad called Kisir. Finish with grilled nectarines or, if you prefer to have your dessert prepared ahead, some refreshing wine jellies.

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 . . . #womensrights #feminism #empowerment #nonviolence #quotesSo 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 💥💥) . . . #indianfood #lambchops #dal #chapatti #homecooking #sundaylunch #fatheranddaughter #familyStunning roses outside Bristol Cathedral yesterday evening. I ❤️ this time of year. . . #flowers #roses #summer #bristol #june #flowerstagramFabulous 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.
