I’m sure you’re enjoying a bowlful or two of strawberries at the moment. But what to drink with them?

A totally delicious strawberry pavlova recipe from top pastry chef James Campbell. It's quite complicated but would be a fantastic dessert to serve on an occasion you really wanted to blow your guests away.

I’m conscious that wine is getting a bit neglected in this flurry of frugal posts so here’s a couple I’m rwally excited about. One was last night’s 2012 Gros Noré Bandol, a deeply coloured velvety red from Provence which ages spectacularly well (bit indulgent for a Monday night I know but I had a wine-loving friend over. At least that’s my excuse!) The other is the Pinot Meunier in this line-up of Aussie wines from @thewinesociety1874. It’s a grape more commonly found in champagne and other sparkling wines but has here been used by winemaker @mac_forbes_wines to create an utterly delicious fragrant light red or dark rosé - whichever way you want to look at it. I loved the Syrah too. You can find my write-up about them in the link in my biog. (The Blind Spot wines were press samples. I bought the Bandol - and wish I’d bought more!) . . . #wine #winelover #winestagram #instawine #redwine #rosé #bandol #pinotmeunier #blindspot #australianwine #thewinesocietyI’m not sure I ever enjoy marmalade more than the first time after I’ve made a new batch. Today it’s on the easy seed bread I made the other day (I froze half so had fresh bread to start the week) with glorious @ampersanddairy butter of which I still happily have a couple of packs. Made myself a proper cup of coffee (from @hasbean ana sora beans) to celebrate. I’m halfway through the #givingupstockingup challenge now (marmalade oranges don’t count cos a) they’re fresh fruit which I’m allowing myself and b) you can only buy them at this time of year) but I’m already realising this could easily go on for another month. Can I do it? Not sure I can or at least not with a bit of relaxing of the rules. But I should. Incidentally if you want to make my marmalade - or rather my mum’s - you’ll find a link to the recipe in my biog. . . . #sevilleoranges #marmalade #sevilleorangemarmalade #preserves #homemade #breakfastBit of a break from the #givingupstockingup challenge - Sunday lunch @bar44bristol which was really delicious and incredibly good value. We went for the overnight roasted lamb shoulder with chorizo Yorkshire pudding, jamon fat roast potatoes and Manchego cauliflower cheese. Hispi cabbage and carrots on the side. Classic British roast with a Spanish twist. . . . #sundayroast #roastlamb #roastpotatoes #cauliflowercheese #yorkshirepudding #eatlocal #clifton #bristol #bristolfoodWhen did you last make a quiche? A good while ago in my case and had forgotten what a great receptacle it was for fridge odds and ends. This was based on a chunk of @jennychandleruk’s Stilton (I’m giving her a good slice back in return), a couple of slow-cooked onions and some lardons and cream that needed using up. (Swopsies are permitted during the #givingupstockingup challenge) Swipe to see the extra-frugal bonus - a few biscuits rolled out from the offcuts which makes it worth making an interesting pastry - plain flour, rye flour and walnuts in this case. Brushed them with beaten egg and sprinkled them with some black sesame seeds - onion seeds would have been even better. Had a couple with a pear and some of the rest of the Stilton as a snackette. . . . #quiche #tart #bluecheese #stilton #biscuits #frugalfood #fridgeforaging #lovefoodhatewaste #loveyourleftovers #nospendchallenge Follow on Instagram
