Food for thought

WHAT YOU NEED
1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
1 cup sliced strawberries
1 cup fresh blackberries
1 1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 peach, sliced (skin on)
1 strips lemon peel (yellow part only)
3 cups chilled Champagne or sparkling wine
3 tbsp gelatin powder
fresh peach slices and mint, for garnish

Some will go big and others might like to have just plenty of little dishes to nibble. Many people have said that tucking into a big hearty meal is not the way to go and I might like to agree. So why not try several small dishes and make time to share the food and company.

Matambre, known as the ‘Hunger Killer’, is a traditional South American recipe, developed by Finca Las Moras, the UK’s number one Argentinian wine brand. The juicy steak roulade washed down with a rich and spicy Shiraz makes for a great pairing.
