Pairings | Rib-eye steak

In search of the perfect steak wine

In search of the perfect steak wine

Posted on August 28 2012 at 11:54

This report on a steak and wine tasting I did at Hawksmoor Spitalfields back in 2007 is now over 10 years old but the advice still holds good. It's quite a long read though so for more concise steak and wine matching advice head to The Best Wine Pairings for Steak.

Finally beginning to see the value of pressure cooking. An incredibly tasty lamb curry from @catherinephipps Modern Pressure Cooking in 15 minutes (+ marinating + depressurising but still much quicker than cooking it conventionally). I miss the process of watching the dish evolve but can’t deny it’s efficient. And cheap. . . #pressurecooker #pressurecooking #lamb #lambcurry #curryMothers Day flowers (thanks @wjjbeckett and @mariaallerc 😘😘) and loads of daffs on my #mothersday walk. Really is worth going up to @ashton_court_estate at this time of year especially when the sun is shining . . . #flowers #bouquet #daffodils #daffs #ashtoncourtFirst visit to @casa.restaurant.bristol the reincarnation of @petersancheziglesias Casamia. Hard to describe - part Italian, part hipster Shoreditch (the brined and smoked pork chop - apols for the really rubbish photo), it’s a much more casual restaurant than its predecessor. Some standout dishes showing really impressive technique. Some crisp little balls filled with molten Parmesan (swoon), a perfect dish of charred squid with peperonata, garganeli with fennel sausage and pangrattato (really good) and a sumptuously buttery dish of cabbage and bacon (but expensive for a side at £11). Textbook tiramisu too. Top notch cooking but almost New York pricey so a bit out of reach for a regular night out though the restaurant was rammed with twenty- and early thirtysomethings. Maybe they do deals? Worth investigating …. #guest . . . #pasta #squid #cabbage #bristolfood #bristolrestaurant #bristolI’ve got so firmly labelled as a wine writer over the last few years that some of you may not know I started off writing about food and have actually written a number of cookery books so it’s great to have been given the opportunity by @decanter to come up with 4 recipes for their Rioja guide this month. Smoky lamb chops with patatas bravas in the main picture, some rather addictive mushroom tapas in the second, inspired by a bar in Logrono where that’s the only thing they serve. All four super-easy and paired with different Riojas. . . . #decantermagazine #rioja #lambchops #patatasbravas #mushrooms #tapas #recipes #foodandwine #winepairing Follow on Instagram
