What a nice evening last night at the Brasserie. As well as a whole lot of fun, we certainly will repeat the Call My Bluff evening later in the year by request. Our next Wine event is Wednesday, February the 6th, when Sean Wilson, actor turned cheese maker joins me for a cheese and wine pairing with a difference.
Myself and Sean go back a very long time. In fact both he and Helen Worth, who plays Gail in Coronation Street joined me on the opening evening of Heathcotes Brasserie back in 1995. They were not only regular customers, and big foodies, but have since become friends. Sean has taken a change of direction in life and has become a renowned cheese maker, winning many awards, but he’s also now back in television with a new programme on Channel 5 called The Great Northern Cookbook, a programme for which I’ve supplied a recipe for.
As for the recipes on February 6th, I will be writing the menu this week and I’ll share it once we’ve matched the wines to go with Sean’s award-winning fromage. I will have to carefully weave the ingredients into some dishes and make sure they perfectly match the wines. Should be a great evening.
