If you’re the kind of person (like me) who puts garlic into practically everything you cook you may regard this question as an irrelevance but some dishes are much more garlicky than others.

Wines - and other drinks - to match recipes from the Ottolenghi Cookbook

Wines - and other drinks - to match recipes from the Ottolenghi Cookbook

Posted on April 19 2008 at 07:52

The book I’ve been looking forward to most so far this year has just started being serialised in the Guardian today. It’s by Yotam Ottolenghi who founded two exceptional London restaurants and is simply called Ottolenghi: the Cookbook. l love Ottolenghi's food - it’s so generous and big-flavoured, piled high on bright, colourful platters - you can't fail to be tempted by it. It also lends itself perfectly to entertaining for large numbers at home.

The poolside bar at @lidobristol is just the best kind of wine bar with a decent basic list and way above average, affordable bar food including this dish of porchetta with salsa verde and pumpkin caponata. (We drank the ever reliable Azevedo vinho verde.) One of the recommendations in my recently updated Bristol resto roundup on my Substack. (Click link in bio then search for Bristol) . . #lidobristol #winebar #porchetta #caponata #vinhoverde #eatlocal #bristolfoodGood to have the legendary @mayflowerbristol back in action again and packed out for the #chinesenewyear #bristolJust lovely to feel I was back in Mexico again yesterday @santoremedio_uk’s new restaurant in Marylebone. Particularly good ceviche but also tasty tacos, empanadas and pork pibil. #sunshineonaplate . . . #mexicanfood #tacos #ceviche #empanadas #marylebone #londonfood #newopening #guestWhen a friend brings a heaped bowlful of perfect mash to the table … To go with a big old pot of stew.

Was just in the process of switching from white to red 😉) . . . #potato #mashedpotato #mash #beefstew #winterfood #eatingwithfriends #kitchensupper Follow on Instagram
