Cold roast veal with herbs and St Chinian rosé

Posted on July 28 2008 at 09:05

It’s been so hot over the last couple of days here in the Languedoc I haven’t felt much like cooking so we raided the very good local traiteur (takeaway) in Murviel yesterday for our weekend’s eating. The highlight was some beautifully cooked rare roast veal with herbs - in the style of Italian porchetta.

It’s rare to go to a wine event and be blown away by the matches at every course but my recent lunch at Murano devised by Angela Hartnett and her sommelier Marc-Andréa Lévy was as close to perfection as it gets.

Spectacular tour of @the_macallan including history, stills, oak treatment (they select and age their own wood and ship it out to Jerez) and the chance to taste some rare drams including this mindblowing 30 y o although I also really liked the Home Collection which they have exclusively on taste at the bar if you’re visiting the distillery this weekend) More on stories. . . . #whisky #maltwhisky #themacallan #whiskystills #sherrycask #30yo #guest #scottishroadtripHeading steadily north. A wheat field - or is it barley? - that might have tempted T May, the bridge at Dunkeld and the River Tay. Surprisingly hot after Fife which was only 18/19 C. Here it’s 25 and muggy though I realise that’s NOTHING compared with further south. PS yes it is barley apparently #scottishroadtrip . . . #scottishcountryside #wheatfield #river #dunkeld #rivertay #perthshireManaged to order practically ALL the starters at the lovely @kinneucharinn. The stuffed courgette flowers with ricotta and honey were particularly good as was the pickled mackerel salad. Pitch perfect seasoning on the crab too. Yammering so much I gave up taking photos but can also recommend the squid, hake with aioli and milk bun with fig leaf ice cream i snitched from my neighbours’ plates (not the ones on adjoining tables obvs) How come I’ve never heard about East Neuk? The Scots cleverly keep it to themselves. . . . #courgetteflowers #zucchiniblossoms #mackerel #crabontoast #scottishrestaurant #kinneucharinn #eastneuk #instafood #foodstagram #scottishroadtripAnnual festival treat with my son @wjjbeckett @hawksmooredinburgh. (Steak was consumed obvs but also oysters, crab, scampi and lobster and chips.) Also brilliant standup comedy (on the Fringe, not Will though he could) bookshop browsing and a LOT of walking and talking. Perfect 48 hours, v happy - and proud - mum #guest . . . #hawksmoor #edinburgh #lobster #seafood #wine #viñatondonia #fringefestival #willbeckett #motherandson Follow on Instagram
