A great recipe to make for any Bastille Day celebrations you might be having from Pierre Koffmann's fabulous Memories of Gascony, one of my all-time favourite cookbooks.

I’m having a bit of thing about Portuguese wine at the moment - it’s so great with food and such brilliantly good value. Especially on restaurant wine lists where it’s invariably underpriced in comparison to better known wine producing countries and regions

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve had these two dishes - an EMBARRASSINGLY large number - but that’s what happens when you find a restaurant you love and keep going back. The scallops in Sauternes butter and the guineafowl and chips @littlefrench_bristol - both dishes you’d be hard pushed to find as well cooked in France these days, sadly. All enjoyed safely outside at a suitable distance from my excellent lunchtime companions @xantheclay and @romygill. ❤️ you @freddybirdfood! . . . #scallops #sauternes #guineafowl #chips #frenchfood #bistro #littlefrench #bristol #lunch #eatlocal #shellfish #seafood #scallopswerecompdI’ve never been much of a one for doing jigsaws but laid in a couple during lockdown in case I went crazy with boredom (which strangely didn’t happen). Started this rather lovely @eeboopieceandlove Frida Kahlo one with my stepdaughter last week and finished it once she went home. Felt quite irrationally triumphant. Think I may be hooked! . . . #jigsaw #puzzle #fridakahlo #challenge #downtime #familytimeWho knew that there was such a thing as a swangage? I certainly didn’t and should have tried them but my eye was drawn by the gorgeous greengages on the left - one of my favourite summer fruits. Will eat the riper ones raw and make a compote with the rest but might go back and buy some more (from @regthe_veg) to make jam. I once made one in France, where they’re called reines-claudes, with a few drops of vanilla essence and a dash of dark rum and it was amazing. What do YOU do with your greengages? . . . #greengage #swangage #plums #reinesclaudes #inseason #summerfruit #clifton #bristol #regtheveg #shoplocal #vegetarian #veganI meant to post this last month 🙄 but this is the last day to enter our current competition to win this fabulous @trethowanbrothers cheese hamper and a case of rare and limited edition @littlepomona ciders. It’s a prize I frankly wish I could win myself (although I do buy Trethowan’s Pitchfork cheddar regularly and bought a case of the Little Pomona Hard Rain quince which is just divine when it was released. It’s worth joining their club so you’re first in the queue for their new releases.) Anyway just cos the comp is almost over doesn’t mean you can’t buy their cheese and cider for yourself, right? We all need to support small producers at this time and these are two of my favourites. . . . #cheese #artisanalcheese #cheddar #caerphilly #cider #ciderkin #hardrain #somersetfood #cidercountry #localproduce #shoplocal #competition #prize #cheeselover #ciderlover #littlepomona #trethowanbrothers Follow on Instagram
