Tagliatelle of raw cuttlefish and passerina

Tagliatelle of raw cuttlefish and passerina

Having spent most of our week in Abruzzo inland we seized the opportunity to have a meal at La Barcaccia a fish restaurant on the seafront at Pescara before flying back and this clever dish of cuttlefish ‘tagliatelle’ was one of the crudi (raw dishes) on the menu.

If you’ve been inclined to dismiss trebbiano as an uninteresting grape variety, think again. I’ve seem it in a whole new light since my trip to Abruzzo last month as you can see from my recent Guardian column.

This lighted wreath which I bought in the sale at @coxandcox has been the best addition to my Christmas decs this year. When it arrived it was HUGE - I’d forgotten to take the measurements - but miraculously fitted perfectly over my bedroom mirror where it sheds a magical light over the room. A very happy - and hopefully relaxing - Christmas to you all with plenty of good books and bottles and all the Christmas films you’ve seen zillions of times before xxIs there anything better than catching up with a friend you’ve known for 30 years and haven’t seen for five and just picking up where you left off? All that was missing was the sofa @gabyallen … Great backdrop too @horsedartmoor . . . #friends #friendship #neverspoons #moretonhampsteadMaybe the best front-of-the-telly snack idea I’ve come across this Christmas: French fries with caviar and crème fraiche dip @bebebob. Which of course makes it spendy for a snack but you could pull the same trick with lumpfish roe. The schnitzel would be a bit more of a hassle to make at home but it was very very good. Add a glass (or two) of champagne and the top notch company of @thaneeprince and you have the perfect Christmas lunch. Thanks @gemmabelleats for making it happen. #guest (Small point, @bebebob, don’t want to seem picky but the traditional buckwheat blini is bitter for a reason and better than those slightly too soft, sweet crepes) *ducks* . . . #caviar #chips #frenchfries #dip #schnitzel #bebebob #londonfoodOne of the best steak tartares I’ve ever had @marmo.restaurant last night and I’ve eaten more than my fair share of steak tartare. Also an utterly dreamy plate of ricotta and cavolo nero agnolotti with pumpkin and sage butter under a billowy cloud of parmesan. (The pasta is always worth ordering but enough for two if you have other dishes so I’d share.) One of my favourite Bristol restaurants. . . . #steaktartare #agnolotti #pasta #pumpkin #marmo #bristolfood Follow on Instagram
