A re-run of an old post following a visit to Alsace, updating my recommendations on the best pairings for the region's dry and off-dry white wines.

I only have to look at how many of my matches of the week involve fish to realise that it now appeals to me more than meat. Not that I’m anti-meat by any means it’s just that the sort of wine you pair with it is fairly predictable, well-trodden ground.

Finally made it to @corkagebath for deep-fried pig’s head, charred hispi cabbage and 7 Fuentes. Really great neighbourhood wine bar. Loved it. (Paid for our food but drinks were compd). . . . #menu #foodandwine wine #winebar #pork #cabbage #7fuentes #bathI absolutely can’t wait to make these grilled halloumi flatbreads with preserved lemon and barberry salsa from @sabrinaghayour’s brilliant new book Bazaar. Which is devoted to veggies but not so you’d notice: it just seems a great selection of recipes. Perfect for Easter Monday I reckon. For the recipe click the link in my bio. #recipeoftheweek. . . . #halloumi #cheese #flatbreads #salsa #Bazaar #sabrinaghayour #foodphotography #foodstyling #regram @kriskirkham #instafood #foodstagram #vegetarianWell that’s it for this year. I feel so privileged to have been able to be here in Malaga for this historic, colourful and deeply moving experience. Yet another reason to love Spain and the Spanish. So thankyou @thaneeprince for suggesting it and for sharing your inside knowledge. And if you haven’t been add it to your bucket list. (It’s on till the rest of the week obvs just that I’m leaving today). . . . #malaga #semanasanta #holyweek #travelArroz caldoso aka ‘soupy rice’ at Marisquera los Delhunes. (Like a rather wet paella) Lovely bustling restaurant just off the beach. Rammed with locals. #malaga . . . #fish #seafood #rice #arroz #spanishfood Follow on Instagram
