Nokx Majozi’s Fish Curry and Pumpkin Maize Meal

Nokx Majozi’s Fish Curry and Pumpkin Maize Meal

Posted on March 8 2022 at 16:03

There are so many good recipes in The Female Chef, a compilation of favourite recipes from Britain’s leading women cooks that it’s hard to pick out just one but here’s one from a chef I really admire, Nokx Majozi of the Holborn Dining Room. Nokx is famous for her pies but this is a family recipe from her homeland of South Africa.

Last week I hosted a tasting for Bristol-based spice company The Spicery in which we explored a number of different wine pairings for different styles of curry - including an Indian Shiraz!

So what do you do at a ski resort when the weather’s foggy, grey and grizzly? Bunker down in the hotel’s very glam tasting room, chat to the sommelier, *research* the local wines and eat shedloads of home cured speck from the hotel owner’s own pigs. Thanks for the tour, Juri. @hotel_campiglio_bellavista . . . #wine #winecellar #tastingroom #madonnadicampiglio #sommelier #localwine #teroldego #notafreebieSo here I am in @madonnadicampiglio. Never having skied before and not intending to start at my age. So a permanent state of après ski with the odd foray (well wrapped up) downtown for hot chocolate and vino. Follow stories for subsequent developments. . . . #skiresort #trentino #madonnadicampiglio #apresski #notverymuchsnowI don’t often post negative reviews here but I have to say this @project_malbec red is not only one of the worst wines I’ve tasted in the last 12 months but one of the worst malbecs ever - confected, flabby and sweet. It was one of the least expensive options on the overpriced @sofitellondonga wine list and one I thought should go down reasonably well among the red wine drinkers - Malbec generally being a crowd pleaser - but I wasn’t the only one in our group who left it in their glass. The irony is that the Sofitel clearly wants to position itself as a luxury brand, witness the large comfy beds and Balmain toiletries in the shower. Why the crap wine? . . . #wine #winelist #sofitel #malbec #lifeistooshorttodrinkbadwineLast night’s #nye dinner wines: a spectacular magnum of fizz from @ferraritrento and a magnum of albarino from @terrasgauda (both #gifted) plus @thewinesociety1874’s Exhibition Naoussa Xinomavro (great with a very winey beef daube and their glorious Ulysse Cazabonne Sauternes which I recommend you lay your hands on as it’s always going out of stock. Head not too sore this morning amazingly. #happynewyear and all the best for 2025 . . . #sauternes #xinomavro #sparklingwine #magnum #albariño #wine #wineandfood Follow on Instagram
