Doesn’t this frosty weather make you feel like a fondue? Mmmmmm - it certainly does me. Treat yourself to one this weekend. Here’s my recipe from Winelovers’ Kitchen (link in profile. Original photo by Mowie Kay) Couple of great tips too to stop it splitting. . . . #fondue #cheesefondue #apresski #winterfood #gruyere #cheeseJanuary has been full of unexpected feasts like this Piedmontese dinner at @trullo_restaurant, a restaurant I’ve never managed to get to until now. Definitely lived up to its reputation. Great menu, kicking off with vitello tonnato and bagna cauda and some really indulgent wines from @massolinowinery including this charmingly bright, breezy dolcetto. Some lovely barolos too. Rubbish pix - blaming the atmospheric lighting but some gorgeous little booths downstairs if you’re booking #guest . . . #vitellotonnato #bagnacauda #winedinner #redwine #dolcetto #barolo #trullo #islingtonNothing more happy-making than a batch of homemade marmalade. The smell as it’s cooking is heavenly. Problem is I end up giving most of it away. (Click the link in my bio for the recipe). . . . #marmalade #sevilleoranges #preserves #homemadeCassoulet of dreams at the @st.john.restaurant annual vignerons lunch accompanied by lavish quantities of wine and - maybe not such a good idea - ending up with armagnac from @harrisvintners (although it was delicious) #guest . . . #cassoulet #duck #beans #redwine #armagnac #stjohn #smithfield #londonrestaurants Follow on Instagram
