I love Dinner Parties, be it in my home or my friends, I find there is nothing better than sitting down with good friends over a meal, a few bottles of wine and having a good old natter. Added to this is my love of cooking and experimenting with food – and as of yet I have not managed to kill anyone!
With the (dare I say it) recession rumbling along in the background, a lot of us are turning back to ‘The Dinner Party’. This got me thinking, so with the help of our resident rep / chef - Marcus we sat down and talked food, then added the matching wines. Nearly all of the ingredients were locally sourced and in season. These recipes and wines have all been tried and tested by me:
Starter: Crab cakes with apple and beetroot salsa. We would recommend the following wines: White Burgundy, German Riesling or a Sparkling Wine
Main Course: Roast loin of lamb with a spicy rub. Lamb goes incredibly well with a red Bordeaux (Cabernet), Italian Piedmont or Rioja
Dessert: Berry shortbread cheesecake slice - my own personal favourite, served with a Vouvray or delicious Dessert Wines
In the style of Come Dine with Me, we’re introducing ‘Come Dine With Karwigs’! Have you a favourite recipe you’d like to share with us?
Why not send it in to me, I’ll post it here on our Blog, Twitter and our Facebook pages and the recipe that gets the most votes, wins a bottle of wine.
