Entertaining family and friends at home becomes more appealing than going out for dinner and braving the elements. But sometimes it can be challenging coming up with new and exciting recipes that are not only tasty and impressive, but also simple to prepare.
To help inspire you to try something new each season, we’ve teamed up with Sarah Kiryshin (recipe developer, content creator and culinary personality who lives and breathes food and wine) to create four seasonal recipes that either use, or can be paired with, an Edenvale wine.
The first recipe in the series is Sarah’s Tempranillo Braised Beef using Edenvale Tempranillo Cabernet Sauvignon, the perfect winter warmer for your next night in. And if you happen to be ging dry this July, or loving Twenty Twenty Free, you won’t feel like you’re missing out on anything thanks to the inclusion of Edenvale’s alcohol-removed wine!
So why not try making the recipe below and let us know how you went by sharing it on Instagram and tagging us on @edenvalewines - we’d love to see your creations!
