Today WordPress prompts me with this question: Do you or your family make any special dishes for the holidays?
To which my answer is : Ofcourse We Do.
Food and Wine Pairing
An important step in anyone’s wine journey is when you experience for the first time, the magic of the food and wine pairing. For me this happened in the very first wine event I attended, which was about ten years back in an Italian Wine Dinner at Hotel Westin Gurugram, India.
Amongst the many dishes their Italian chef had prepared, one was the succulent sea bass. After a few chews on it, just as I took a sip of the paired Chardonnay, a delicious magic occurred on my palate – it was such a pleasurable culinary sensation that I can’t forget. The pairing of the rich and cheesy sea bass pairing perfectly with the opulent Chardonnay wine was so delightful that in an instant it revealed to me as how divine a good food and wine pairing can be.
As a family, another revelation happened once we realised that we can make dishes which can pair nicely with wines, at home itself. And since then we have been doing that regularly. Some of these are also documented in my earlier posts and I share a couple of those here. Hope you like reading these.
