The surprise match of the natural wine dinner I went to last week at Bar Battu was not a wine but a perry - 'sydriculteur' Eric Bordelet's sparkling Poire Granit.

Satisfyingly hearty, sweet-flavoured leek and potato soup with exemplary soda bread at @hugh__corcoran’s highly controversial The Yellow Bittern yesterday. Why controversial? Because Corcoran says -despite only opening at lunchtime and only taking cash - diners don’t spend enough. My take in full in this week’s Friday 5 but it’s refreshingly different and I liked it.

Lovely to have my book The Wine Lover’s Kitchen reissued by @rylandpetersandsmall. It’s a collection of recipes for cooking with wine including this seductively spicy Moorish duck casserole with cinnamon and olives which you can find on my matchingfoodandwine website along with a quirky but excellent recipe for red wine spaghetti (cooked in red wine, believe it or not) The perfect present, dare I say, for any wine lover who enjoys cooking.
AD (I guess it’s an ad as I’m plugging my cookbook but hard to keep up these days)

Back in the UK and missing my Mexican breakfast - in this instance chilaquiles from @ivoiremx a popular café just round the corner from the apartment we were staying in leafy Polanco in Mexico City. Mexican breakfasts were a revelation - see I need to up my game now I’m home.
