One of the highlights of this week’s scoffing with my pal @fionasims was this salt cod hash aka bacalhau à brás @bardouro in @flatironsquareuk in London. Which was basically a mash-up of salt cod and matchstick fries - comfort food of the highest order. It went brilliantly well with this slightly smoky Portuguese white - Bar Douro has a really interesting list which it also sells online. I also loved this light gamay-ish red Ginga and this dinky little mushroom pie which you won’t want to share (so don’t). A terrific little bar which will make you think about Portuguese wine in a different way (no, it’s not all port and chunky reds). #guest . . . #saltcod #bacalhau #mushroompie #wine #portuguesewine #naturalwine #bardouro #flatironsquareSumptuous spread and beautiful table setting for the launch of @sophie_grigson_herself’s newTV series Slice of Italy. Can’t wait for the book to be able to make these gorgeous biscotti and wickedly good chocolate and olive oil mousse. #guest. . . . . #puglianfood #italianfood #biscotti #sophiegrigsonssliceofitalyRaw Caesar mushroom, celery and parsley salad @boca_di_lupo. Fresh seasonal ingredients, sympathetically handled, not over-fussed but still pretty as a picture. What more do you want? . . . #mushrooms. #celery #salad #italianfood #eattheseasons #autumnfood #instafood #foodstagram@luca.restaurant’s Parmesan fries. If there’s a better bar snack in London I don’t know what it is. Srsly.
