A Little Light Eating

Sean Sellers  in Blow the Bank ,

InterWined Food
Each Friday, InterWined.com pairs one great wine with one great meal and publishes the results along with the recipe in a little feature it likes to call ‘Blow the Bank’.

Well, not this week.

Instead, I invite to visit the site of Beatrice Peltre, one of my favourite food bloggers and her Versatility in a Spinach and Sweet Potato Cake. Since stumbling onto her excellent site, La Tartine Gourmande.com, the December before last, it has quickly become one of my favourite dishes.

Over the course of the last year, I have prepared the cake many different ways on numerous occasions, substituting its ingredients with all manner of squashes and green leaves, and found it to be as amazingly versatile as its name.

My current method is to include apples and cinnamon and bake mixture in a muffin tray. And a morish dish it is too.
Wine Book Club Logo It will also no doubt make a civilised snacking companion to Vino Italiano: The Regional Wines of Italy by Joseph Bastianich and David Lynch, the first wine book selected for reading in the inaugural session the Wine Book Club as chosen by David McDuff of McDuff’s Food & Wine Trail.

For more on the Wine Book Club and details on how you too can participate, be sure to visit Good Wine Under $20 by Dr. Debs. To purchase the book in the UK will cost between £11 and £8, but you might have to wait two-to-three weeks as it is currently out of stock or on order from Foyles, Waterstones, and Amazon.co.uk. But don’t let that stop you. I won’t let it stop me.

David and Dr. Debs: The free press is entirely warranted and, when it comes to availability of books, foods, and especially wine, you can cover all of your bases.
At InterWined, we do our best to try and inform readers of where they can source the wines we drink, whether it be in London, England or New London, Connecticut. But we don’t always succeed.

Dee: You do love that Wilson’s Almond sparkler don’t ya. Sounds sickly, it’s a gold medal winner. And who am I to disagree with California State Fair?
