  • There’s nothing a Rum Baba (or two) can’t heal 💛 My Sicilian holiday didn’t go exactly to plan (think doddgy accomodation, a full day of thunderstorms, crazy taxi taxi drivers and two days of ‘menu turistico’, including the worse risotto I have ever had). Things eventually got better, so I quickly adopted the ‘Sicilian Sweets Diet’, that is eating my body weight in rum babas, cannoli, cornetti and insane amounts of ice cream sandwiched between the fluffiest of brioches. Also found *that* restaurant in G.Naxos (see stories) 🍝🍷 #italianholiday #siciliangetaway #rumbaba
  • AD| Celebrating the end of summer with a seriously jammy cheese & wine session powered by @jamshedwine 🧀🍷Think ripe brie, juicy figs, wholemeal crackers and bacon jam paired with a glass of intensely fruity full bodied Shiraz🍷 #seriouslyjammy #cheeseandwine #summertreats
  • If you’re looking for inspiration for this #fishfriday here’s an idea: pan fried wild Sockeye salmon, couscous with minted peas and caramelised chicory. I first cooked this dish last year, but every once in a while I keep repeating it, as it’s super easy to make and truly delicious 👌 👩🏻‍🍳To make this recipe, simply pan fry a beautiful piece of salmon in a hot pan and carefully turn it on each side for a couple of minutes. Meanwhile, add some boiling water over a bowl of couscous and let it rest. Cut the chicory in half, lengthwise and gently cook it with butter on a low heat until it begins to caramelise. Blanch a cup of fresh peas, then add them to the couscous and season with salt, mint and olive oil. Enjoy! 🍴🍷😉 @leapwildfish #wildsalmon #sockeyesalmon #easydinner
