I’ve been experimenting in the kitchen a lot in the last week. With the highly strung Curious Mike enjoying (or trying to enjoy) a well earned break with M’am and Dad in County Down, I’ve had to fend for myself in the Kane household. So I wouldn’t be surprised if I was Look and Taste‘s most frequent visitor of late.

What I really love about Niall’s recipes is the simplicity of many of them. I get back to the house quite late and I’m always like a hungry bear, so to be able to throw something together that’s quick, healthy and absolutely delicous is paramount. And his chicken with garlic, rosemary and spaghetti ticks all the right boxes.

For this weeks wine match I’m reaching for Pinot Grigio, which is great with a variety of food because it doesn’t possess particularly prominent fruit flavours. The drier, more acidic versions are excellent with shellfish and other seafood, but for this dish we’ll go for the chubbier options for a fuller body.

The well structured and incredibly versatile Mirabello Pinot Grigio is the perfect option under €10. If you’re mad for the New World, check out the Tussock Pinot Gris, recently rated alongside the Waipara Springs Dry Riesling (a good match in itself), by our favourite mammy from England. And if you really want to spoil yourself, the best match possible comes from Alsace – Blanck Pinot Gris.

Simply – to – die – for.
