Posted: Thu Aug 30, 2012 11:17 am Post subject: Bowmore Whisky Recipes River Cottage Style |
|
|
I thought there may be some amateur chefs amongst you and that this may be of interest to you.
Bowmore whisky has teamed up with John Wright, the UK's leading foraging expert, and top chef Gill Meller, both from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's River Cottage, to launch a series of delicious seafood and dessert recipes to match perfectly with Bowmore whisky.
The Bowmore Whisky recipes include
Bowmore Dry Cured Oak and Peat-Smoked Sirloin and Crispy Gutweed
Pine-Fired Mussels with Spear-Leaved Orache
Wood-Roasted Lobster and Scallops with Wild Sorrel Sauce
Sea Lettuce, Clam, Potato and Oyster Rostis
And for those with a sweet tooth
Chocolate and Seaweed Pannacotta with Bowmore Butter Shortbread
Chocolate and Bowmore-Soaked Prune Fondant
You can find the recipes here:

| I am partial to a bit of shortbread and sometimes have some alongside a whisky, goes well with a sherried whisky i think. It would be interesting to have shortbread with whisky in it. |

Some intriguing recipes, the fondant sounds really good. _________________ "Always carry a large flagon of whisky in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake."

| I got hooked on a piece of shortbread with a whisky a few years ago when i was handed a piece at a whisky tasting and thought it would simply help soak up the whisky but i thought it went really well with the whisky. Now and again i take the notion for a piece of shortbread with my whisky in the evening. When i think about it i would do this more on a cold winters night, dont know why. |

I'll have to try that pairing. I wonder whether it would go better with a peaty malt or a milder one? _________________ "Always carry a large flagon of whisky in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake."

No recipes for Scottish tablet, it is years since i have tasted that, delicious and it can go well with a whisky when you are in the mood for sugar overload. |
