There’s only one pairing I could focus on this week given that I was in Piemonte and that is white truffles. What was the best match? Incredibly hard to say!

For some reason I always think of beef with nebbiolo and other wines like Bordeaux and rioja with lamb but this combination at one of Bristol’s best restaurants Bulrush the other night was stunning.

The last few days I’ve been eating and drinking my way around Piedmont - the perfect time of year as the region’s fabled white truffles are in season.

Bookending my first meal on the opening day of the new @josephinebouchon Marylebone with fellow fan @thaneeprince with a fabulously wobbly Camembert soufflé and oeufs à la neige. Pork belly with charcutière sauce and pommes purée with an indecent amount of butter in between. The kind of food you just can’t make at home. Or maybe could but wouldn’t. Felicitations @claudebosi1 . . . #josephinebouchon #frenchfood #souffle #camembert #oeufsalaneige #porkbellyFollowing a well-established tradition of cooking with my mate @fionasims when I go to stay with her on the IOW. This time from @noorishbynoor’s spectacular new book Lugma. We made the charred courgettes with saffron, kefir and sticky onions, bottom of the pot chicken and rice and sunrise clementines with hibiscus and orange oil. Quite a lot of work - more project cooking than quick’n’easy which it’s why it’s great to cook with someone else - but the flavours were incredible. If you’re a paid subscriber to Eat This, Drink That it’s my giveaway this month (see link in biog) . . . #lugma #noormurad #cookingwithfriendsHappy Easter all with this charmingly decorated tree in the back streets of Deal. Plus some last minute wine recs in this week’s Friday 5 for those of you whose family have already drunk them out of house and home …Always knew @juliet49londonrdstroud was going to be my kinda restaurant from the oysters to the gloriously fresh asparagus with broad beans and stracciatella, textbook steak tartare and allumettes and tarte tatin. @ellypear cracking up over her TWO chocolate desserts. Me in seventh heaven with chips and roasties. Such a great place @williammrees and a lovely, lovely team Follow on Instagram
