Calf's kidney and Côte Rôtie

Calf's kidney and Côte Rôtie

Posted on July 6 2009 at 14:55

My match of the week for last week has to come from the sublime WIMPS lunch I had at the Ledbury which members can read about here. It was hard to decide which the best pairing was but I think the calf’s kidney and 1998 Gilles Barge Côte Rôtie just shaved it.

Easy Sunday lunch for 2 based on @meatpeter’s sublime sugar pit bacon chops with new potatoes, cauli cheese and asparagus. So so good . . . #sugarpitbacon #cauliflowercheese #sundaylunch #giftIdyllic short break @tillinghamwines for friend’s big birthday. Perfect weather too. . . . #englishwine #wine #vineyard #tillinghamNever the best idea to head for a bar after a massive supermarket wine tasting but if the bar is your son’s @hawksmoorrestaurants and your companion your successor at your last job (@hannahcrosb) why resist? May account for the fact that my Ultimate Old-fashioned is a tad blurry though Hannah’s champagne cocktail is perfectly in focus, note. Good to catch up with @aleeshahansel too. I even managed to catch my train 🙌@ellypear @essexeating, @ppopss and I had afternoon tea yesterday rather than going out (cos still 5 days to payday) and as you can see it was an absolute feast. Elly was road-testing a Mother’s Day cake with a lemon, mascarpone and white chocolate frosting (see her recent reel) and Dan made a pitch perfect leek tart. The less said about my scones the better. Followed a new recipe which turned out more like a cobbler. At least I provided some very drinkable pet nat. (💯 yes to wine at tea time!) All in all a great afternoon with the added bonus of #cake for breakfast Follow on Instagram
