La Femme
It was one of those weeks when Gorgonzola was not to be found in KL, well not anywhere I looked at least, so I substituted Danish Blue which worked perfectly obviously. The recipe was tasty but it didn’t really look like a “dinner party dish”, more of an observation rather than a complaint…
Wine Matching:
There are some pretty strong flavours in this and luckily we were tasting powerful Shiraz-based wines that coped admirably.
