Made our London Broil with Mushrooms again recently - a delicious way to enjoy this lean cut of beef. Made a few updates to our recipe post, including adding this affordable French Rhone wine pairing along with the CDP we paired before. #recipes #wine cookingchatfood.com/london-b…

Dinner kept simple: takeout mushroom & olive pizza + a Flavium Selección Mencía (Bierzo, Spain). Earthy like a Pinot Noir, but more red fruit & tannins — great match for the pizza. More Spanish pairings: cookingchatfood.com/spanish-… #winepairing #SpanishWine

A pickle soup recipe in @foodandwine reminded me how much we loved the pickle soup at a beer dinner years ago. It inspired me to develop my own Polish Dill Pickle Soup recipe. After several attempts, I nailed it! 🥒🍲 Save this one for #soup season! cookingchatfood.com/polish-d…

Red wine with salmon? Yes, really. 🍷🐟 The key is how you're serving it — mushroom-topped salmon loves a Pinot Noir, while pesto preparations call for a full-bodied white. New guide with real tested pairings: cookingchatfood.com/best-win… #winepairing #salmon
