Wine and food play an integral part in the dining experience of most people. There is  something about this combination of wine and food that sets the ambience to a level that is not easily achieved otherwise. This skill in the

combination of good food and wine, with the right company culminates to a level in life that many people miss because they get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Basic / Basiese Vinaigrette

Vinaigrette Lifestyle C / Leefstyl CWe make every effort to equip people to embrace this skill in their everyday living. The normal everyday preparation of food will become something looked forward to. Do yourself a favour and visit our Wine & Food Specialists section, where you will find some simple, yet delicious recipes and tips to cook up a storm. Cooking classes are available and the relevant information will be provided. This will enable you to entertain your close friends by preparing the ultimate meal and also join in the fellowship.wine-and-food-specialists Lifestyle C / Leefstyl C

Put your imagination to work and you can create your own romantic miracle by selecting some exotic recipes, colourful flowers, candles, and a few friendly smiles. By doing this, you will be transforming a simple dinner invitation into an extraordinary dining experience made just for you and your loved one. Dream up something you can prepare a day or even some hours ahead of time, concentrating on your partner’s wine and food preferences, and get down to work. This also means that you do not have to be a professional chef to create an extravagant meal that would make your partners mouth water for more of your cooking.

Take the time of the year into consideration if you really plan on making a lasting impression. Serve cold meat and salads with iced drinks, whether it’s lemonade or orange juice during the warmer seasons and cooked meals with red wine and hot chocolate when the air is a little chilly during the winter months. To create an even more memorable occasion, take the time to prepare the meal together.

wine-and-grapes Lifestyle C / Leefstyl CExplore the kitchen and all the ingredients that come with it and you will be amazed at just what you can come up with when your creative side, unknown until now, takes over and starts preparing the most unbelievable feast. Do not be afraid to learn from one another, as this is the only way that you will become confident in the kitchen. So far we have mentioned the foods that you will be preparing, but let us not forget about the complimentary wines. Especially cheese and wine, that go together for more reasons that meet the eye.

They are both products of fermentation (Fermentation is the process in which bacteria convert glucose into alcohol). Wine is made from fermented grape juice while cheese is made from fermented milk. For this reason you can see that not only wine and food go hand in hand, but wine and cheese go together like peanut butter and jelly. We can see wine and food as two inseparable components to having the perfect meal.

The combination of wine and food does not stop here. Keep in mind that the expert’s advice of the best wines to go with cheese to be those that are light and have a fruity taste. We are advised to pair crisper and fruiter wines, when having white fresh cheese compared to rich or even light and zesty wines with fatty cheese. Salty cheese can be enjoyed with sweet wines, while soft cheeses are complimented by fruity red wines.

wine-and-food Lifestyle C / Leefstyl CInstead of taking wine with the cheese, there are many who would rather prefer to take pleasure in combining champagne and brie, which is a soft, creamy white cheese. Not to mention that according to medical research, wine is absolutely beneficial to one’s health, when used moderately, off course! Studies have shown that the moderate intake of wine actually decreases the risk of suffering from coronary disease as well as the chances of having a stroke.

Having wine with our mealtime, gives us the advantage of fighting the negative effects that fatty foods may have on our digestive system. Again we stress the fact that you should consult your physician prior to changing or adapting your diet in order to facilitate the intake of any alcohol, especially if you are taking medication due to some sort of medical condition. Go on a wine and food adventure when preparing your everyday meals and you will see that they compliment each other like you never realized before.

Mayonnaise

Ingredients

  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup light olive oil
  • 1 – 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar or lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Bring the egg and mustard to room temperature in advance.
  2. Mix egg and mustard with a stick blender (or mixer) and add the oil slowly in a thin stream. The mayonnaise should set promptly. Continue to mix until all the oil has been added and the mayonnaise has thickened.
  3. Add vinegar/lemon juice. Mix some more and season with salt and pepper and perhaps more vinegar or lemon juice.
  4. Let the mayonnaise rest in the fridge for a while before serving. The flavor develops further after a-while and the mayonnaise thickens further.

Tip!

Use lemon juice or white wine vinegar if you’re going to serve the mayonnaise with seafood. Use red-wine vinegar for roast beef and other cold cuts, but not balsamic vinegar. It’s commonly sweetened and colored and will discolor the mayonnaise.

As a child I was taught by my grandmother that one egg yolk can bind as much as a whole quart (liter) of oil. In other words: if you want to make a bigger batch, just increase the amount of oil to 2, 3 or more cups. But don’t forget to increase the amount of mustard, spices and acid.
