One of my great pleasures is wine and seafood so I thought I should post a favourite wine and food pairing for you to try.
Food and Drink Pairing
Mussels with Pastis
Mussels with Pastis. Mussels play a pretty big part in my culinary life; in my day job, we sell a lot of them. But it is eating them that really gets me excited. Today’s recipe is a homage to Jerseys location close to France and another favourite of mine Pastis. The lovely flavours of Anise and liquorice really pair up with the sweetness of the mussels.
Cask Ale Week – Cooking with Beer
As I work for a company that owns two award winning breweries inevitably I get to cook with beer, and drink the odd pint as well ( any time you want to send some promos over to taste guys ). I’m going to post links to three great recipes made with the amazing Liberation Ale*. Now you don’t have to be afraid to cook with beer, in Belgium they have made an art of using beer much as the French would use wine.
Roast Chicken and Jersey Royals with Lemon, Golden Raisins and Pine nuts
A one tray oven-baked dish that would be perfect served with a dressed green salad and a nice cold beer.
