• Saturday Kitchen Food and Wine matches 31/3/12

    01 April 2012

    This week James was joined by Theo Randall and the multi talented (and decorated) Cyrus Todiwala. Wines were matched to the dishes by Peter Richards and special guest Reggie Yates  faced his food heaven – Fish, Chips and mushy peas or food hell: Duck.

    Cooking first Theo Randall served up a fresh dish of Sea Bass in a lemon basil and vermouth sauce. To compliment  the dish Peter checked out an Italian soave

    first but then selected a finest Gavi which carries a crisp Italian elegance which should work well with the  understated flavours in the dish

     

    Cooking live next, Cyrus prepared a great looking country captain’s shepherd’s pie. For this typically Indian influenced version of the famous pie, Peter looked for a good red to suit this hearty dish and after considering a Jean Luc Colombo 2009 Cotes du rhone

    which would have been an ideal match for the traditional pie. Cyrus’s adaptation however called for something a little different and Peter went for the fantastic Luis Felipe Edwards Carmenere from Chile at £4.99 it’s truly a bargain

    Reggie got lucky at the end pf the show and got his fish and chips. Wine to match – connoisseur reserva sauvignon blanc 2011
