  • The Flavour Thesaurus
    The Flavor Thesaurus A Compendium of Pairings, Recipes and Ideas for the Creative Cook Niki Segnit It seems fitting to dedicate this book to a pair: my cooking adviser and mother, Marian Stevens, and my writing adviser and husband, Nat Segnit. Contents Introduction ROASTED MEATY CHEESY EARTHY MUSTARDY SULFUROUS MARINE BRINE & SALT GREEN & GRASSY SPICY WOODLAND FRESH FRUITY CREAMY FRUITY CITRUSY BERRY & BUSH FLORAL FRUITY Bibliography A Note on the Author Copyright Page “. lamb and apricots are one of those combinations which exist together in a relation that is not just complementary but that seems to partake of a higher order of inevitability—a taste which exists in the mind of God. These combinations have the quality of a logical discovery: bacon and eggs, rice and soy sauce, Sauternes and foie gras, white truffles and pasta, steak-frites, strawberries and cream, lamb and garlic, Armagnac and prunes, port and Stilton, fish soup and rouille, chicken and mushrooms; to the committed explorer of the senses, the first experience of any of them will have an impact comparable with an astronomer’s discovery of a new planet.” John Lanchester, The Debt to Pleasure Introduction I hadn’t realized the depth of my dependence on cookbooks until I noticed that my copy of Elizabeth David’s French Provincial Cooking had fingernail marks running below the recipes. Here was stark evidence of my timidity, an insistence on clinging to a set of instructions, like a handrail in the dark, when after twenty years of cooking I should surely have been well enough versed in the basics to let go and trust my instincts.

  • Premium Wine Club
    PREMIUM WINE CLUB August 2019 2018 Andrea Felici Verdicchio Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore - Marche, Italy Verdicchio is a white wine grape variety that has been cultivated for hundreds of years in the Marche region of central Italy. It is a versatile variety, used both for light, easy-drinking table wines, and for more complex, ageworthy examples. It is commonly lauded by critics as being one of Italy’s best white wine grape varieties, and is found in vineyards across the country. The winery of Andrea Felici is located in the Marche region. Nestled on a hill at the foot of Mount San Vicino at an altitude of 516 meters above sea level, It possesses a wonderful landscape; a green valley with tilted slopes, blanketed by beautiful woods and vines, marked by the high peaks of Gran Sasso and Maiella to the south and Mount Catria to the north. The climate is dry, with aver- age annual temperatures in the mid-50s and a constant breeze throughout the year. This is the southwest corner of the Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi appellation. The winery started estate-bottling in 2003. Today, the 10-hectare estate is run by Leopardo Felici, whose passion for and dedication to Verdicchio are immediately obvious, as is his broad knowl- edge of the wine world. Before taking over the estate in 2007, his father insisted he gain more wine experience, so Leo worked as sommelier in London at Gordon Ramsey’s Savoy and in Florence at Enoteca Pinchiorri. The winery produces only two wines: a single-vineyard bottling– “Il Cantico della Figura”– and a cuvée, “Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore.” Both wines are marked by incred- ible purity of fruit and pronounced minerality.
