Roast lamb rack, Hassel back pumpkin & salmoriglio
Even my mother, who worked most of the time, still prepared a lamb roast on a Sunday evening. It’s quite something I’ll never forget, and often something I try to replicate for my family. There’s something about the lamb on the table which is intrinsically part of white Australia’s food culture, and @cheftomwalton is only adding to it. With succulent cutlets, flavourful vegetables and drizzlings of zesty herbs, this dish is only bettered with a glass of Domaine Naturaliste Syrah. Enjoy.

Cabbage Gratin w Munster cream, Bacon Breadcrumbs & Crushed Apples
As the weather is turning a little cooler, it's time to start thinking of those types of dishes which will warm you and make you feel all fuzzy inside. This dish is robust on the flavours and robust on the fuzzy feelings, perfectly paired with this week's Lagrein from Hoffer. Thanks Tom.

Pan Fried Ocean Trout with Spinach & White Wine Sauce
What I enjoy so much about Tom's recipes is his ability to match the food with our Weekly Drops. I guess that's the beauty of a good chef. And with all this rain, there's a chance you might be able to catch some Ocean Trout from your back door stoop.

Chicken Ballotine
This week, Tom is stepping it up on the prep list, but like all things which take time, the benefits are sublime. A ballotine is a staple French number, and with a Chef Tom Walton tilt to it, it’s even better. The perfect combination with our Weekly Drop wines this week.

Roast mushrooms with tomatoes, pine nuts & polenta
This week sees us matching red wine with summer meals. Not sure how Chef Tom Walton keeps doing this, but he’s absolutely nailed the match of our cabernet from Roustabout with an easy, yet fulfilling, mushroom and polenta. A big enough meal to fill you up, yet light enough to eat on a summers’ evening, and so damn tasty.

Bouillabaise
Bouillabaise was my first ‘a-ha’ moment when cooking. For me, it was always a dish which seemed incredibly complex and impressive and beyond any possibility of creating unless I was a world class chef. Turns out, it’s not, and you don’t have to be. And especially if Chef Tom Walton is at the helm. Simply follow this incredibly simple and oh so delicious recipe to create a wonderful example of French Provincial cooking. What better way to spend a warm, summers evening with a bottle of Famille Perrin White Rhone blend.

Francesinha – The Ultimate Portuguese Sandwich
This week’s recipe is Portuguese feel good food. Flavourful and fun, the Francesinha is the ultimate powerhouse sandwich. Chef Tom Walton’s take makes it easy enough to fill a table with them and you and your friends can dismantle them while watching the Aussies dismantle the Poms.

Chicken involtini with polenta, prosciutto & sage butter
Cooking and eating is in the heart of every home. When you take a little time to prepare a meal and enjoy it with all your friends and family, it brings us back to the very essence of what makes us human. And when it’s as delicious as what Chef Tom Walton creates, you couldn’t feel more human or happier. Our delicious wines simply add to that feeling even more.
