Top wine pairings with scallops

Scallops are some of the most delicious seafood around and some of the most flattering to a serious white wine. There’s one grape variety that will almost always see you right but also some other options

Which foods pair best with whisky?

Posted on November 30 2018 at 08:16

I’ve been a bit of a sceptic in the past about pairing food with whisky. Not that there aren’t some great combinations but I find it hard to sustain for more than one dish.

Viognier (pronounced vee-on-yee-ay) is a rich, exotically fruity white wine, sometimes achieving quite high levels of alcohol so what are the ideal foods to pair with it?

Dartmouth looks gorgeous even on a stormy day. Here talking about wine and hanging out with good friends for @dartmouthfoodfestival, one of my favourite events of the year. Come down if you’re nearby! . . . #dartmouth #river #boats #coast #devon #dartmouthfoodfestival #clouds #skyVery pretty plate of cured salmon @gezelliglnd last night, topped with burnt apple and Jerusalem artichoke chips. Why has no-one thought of giving cured - or smoked - salmon a crunchy topping before? . . . #salmon #curedsalmon #jerusalemartichoke #starter #gezellig #holbornstudiosIncredible meal at @ikoyi_london last night full of brilliant colours and African-inspired flavours I’ve never tasted before - a bit like when we first encountered New Nordic. It was hard to keep up with exactly what was going on on the plate but the vivid orange and black pumpkin dish (top R) used the flesh, seeds and skins - and a spoonful of Danish caviar on top. There is no menu - you just tell them if there’s anything you can’t eat and the 7 course menu costs £75. There’s a shorter cheaper menu at lunchtime when it’s also easier to get in. Extraordinary. Go! #guest. . . . #africanfood #finedining #londonrestaurants #ikoyipropertiesforsalePickle heaven @thepig_hotel. . . . #pickles #preserves #larder #pantry #instafood #foodstagram Follow on Instagram
