Chicken in Red Wine – Coq au Vin from Raymond Blanc

September 30, 2020 by Fiona Maclean 4 Comments

Coq au Vin with Entre Lunas Wine

Classic Chicken in Red Wine or Coq au Vin paired with Moon Wine! For years I’ve made Chicken in Red Wine, Coq au Vin, using the recipe Elizabeth David called Coq au Vin de Bourgogne and the second of her two recommended methods.  I generally drink French wine with it though not necessarily the Burgundy […]

Classic Coq Au Vin Recipe

November 13, 2016 by Fiona Maclean 29 Comments

Coq Au Vin –  A Classic Recipe from my Childhood: Now I’m well past my forties, I’ve become a firm believer that fifty is the new twenty.  Despite that,  I increasingly find myself spotting things that were significantly different when I was growing up.  There are certain foods which really seem to have changed in terms […]

Lunch at l’Escargot, Soho – Review

May 16, 2015 by Fiona Maclean 2 Comments

l'escargot soho

L’Escargot Restaurant and Club, a Soho classic. It seems that ‘Old Soho’ is having something of a resurgence at the moment.  Have the foodies of London finally tired of queuing for burgers?  I have a feeling that trends in the restaurant world follow trends in fashion – and both are influenced by the state of […]

Lady of the Grapes Wine Bar – Review

December 4, 2019 by Fiona Maclean 2 Comments

Fondue - Lady of the Grapes

Meeting the Lady of the Grapes in Covent Garden. Tucked away on Maiden Lane, almost opposite Rules, is a charming new(ish) wine bar with a focus on female winemakers.  Lady of the Grapes is the brainchild of Parisienne, Carole Bryon, who set the place up to help redress an inherent male balance in the wine […]

Paris Food Tour with Eating Europe

May 6, 2019 by Fiona Maclean 2 Comments

Paroles de fromagers cheeses

Hip Eats and Backstreets – a Paris Food Tour. One of the best ways to get under the skin of a city like Paris is by taking a walking tour.  For my money, the best walking tours always involve food – not just because I love to eat but because with a food tour there’s […]

The Ivy Cafe, Wimbledon

July 24, 2016 by Fiona Maclean 4 Comments

The Ivy Outside Seating

The Perfect Bistro in Wimbledon – The Ivy Cafe: Wimbledon Village is charming, chic and can be a little expensive.  I have no problem at all with pricey restaurant menus if the quality of the food warrants the cost to the consumer.  But, in those ever-so chi-chi parts of London like Wimbledon, it’s easy to […]

The Perfect Tarte Tatin – and the cheat recipe!

July 21, 2017 by Fiona Maclean 18 Comments

Tarte Tatin

Professional Tarte Tatin from Galvin Brothers vs the cheat version: Earlier this year I was invited to take part in a competition to make the perfect Tarte Tatin.  Unfortunately, I was in France at the time, but one of my friends did take part – and amazingly, he won!  Ed Benson (who I’ve known for […]

Gratin Dauphinois with the Panasonic CS-894 steam microwave

March 21, 2016 by Adrian York 3 Comments

Microwave Gratin Dauphinoise

Simple and Quick Gratin Dauphinois Recipe: The Panasonic CS-894 steam microwave has so many more features than a conventional microwave. It really does speed up the cooking process even with dishes that you might normally expect to need hours in the oven.  This year, Spring seems to be rather late, so I’m craving comfort food. […]

A Foraged Feast at Hotel Benvengudo.

May 6, 2016 by Fiona Maclean 13 Comments

Benvengudo exterior 2

Building Tradition with Terroir – Hotel Benvengudo: One of the highlights of my last visit to Provence was a trip to Brantes to go foraging with Les Aventurières du Goût .  So, I am well aware of the wealth of edible plants and flowers growing in the region. Hotel Benvengudo, though,  is a fabulous four-star hotel […]
