Even if you don’t like blue cheese, I urge you to give this recipe a try. The herbs, mixed lettuces and sourdough croutons balance it in a heavenly fashion. You won’t be quite sure what you’re eating, but you’ll know you like it. Trust me. Wine notes: with its lively flavours of blue cheese, herbs, nuts and bitter leaves, this salad requires a full-bodied yet subtly textured wine.

A good Caesar salad is a beautiful thing. The trick is to balance salt, acid and fat. Once you have the dressing down, the riffs are endless. Fried capers are one of my favourite ways to elevate a simple dish. For a milder dressing, use vegetable, rapeseed or grapeseed oil. Salads can be the most layered and flavourful of dishes. I start with a strong base – crunchy vegetables or leaves – then add a soft element, such as mozzarella or boiled egg.

Bottarga is a delicacy of cured mullet roe with a vibrant orange-yellow colour. I grate it on top of almost anything to give it a decadent umami punch. You can mix any leftover bottarga with lemon juice and olive oil to make a simple sauce for spaghetti. Wine notes: the fresh flavours of asparagus, pea shoots and bottarga marry well with the crisp acidity and citrus character of a Loire Sauvignon Blanc, such as Menetou-Salon Morogues 2022 from Domaine Pellé.

"When we sat down to work on the collection, we dreamed up our fantasy tableware," shared the annoyingly chic Mayer.

You know when someone asks what your favorite movie is and then all of a sudden you forget every movie you’ve ever seen? Well, thats kind of like me with gift guides. Perhaps an unnecessary analogy, but put in place to prepare you for the swarm of material headed your way. I think this is my definitive list, but, then again, I’ll probably be awoken in the dead of night by a missing item or two. Then will come another. This one was worth all the brain fog, though.
