We’re keeping it simple this month with just one wine each week matched to the main course, but that works well with the entrees and side dishes too.

Keen to try some rice wine instead of grape wine? Check out Black Market Sake’s sake pairings here.

Tenuta Sant’Anna 2020 Prosecco DOC Rosé Brut

I love this pale peach sparkling rosé with just about every dish on our Japanese menu. It has a faint floral nose and slight fruitiness on the palate but is dry with a lovely long textural finish. It’s a pleasant drop on its own, but really shines with food, especially the beef (or tuna) tataki and the sushi platter in Menu 1.

Tenuta Sant’Anna 2019 Pinot Grigio Venezia DOC

This pale gold pinot grigio from near Venice is a great match with our prawn okonomiyaki in Menu 2 … and pretty tasty with the delicate agedashi tofu too! I like the way its savoury notes dance with the deliciously smoky bonito flakes and dashi in both these dishes.

Rocca 2020 Sangiovese Puglia IGT

This soft red from southern Italy is a surprisingly good match with Menu 3. It stands up to the sweetness of the teriyaki glaze on the yakitori, brings all the different elements of the chirashi-zushi together, and meets the umami of the miso-glazed eggplant head on. I like it lightly chilled, about 30 minutes in the fridge just before serving.

Cà Maiol Chiaretto 2019 Valtènesi Riviera del Garda Classico DOP

This pretty pink drop from Lake Garda is one of my favourite rosés and works a treat with the spicy barbecue sauce in our pork (or fish) katsu sando. It’s pretty tasty with the miso soup in Menu 4 too.

We made the pot-sticker dumplings and bang bang chicken from the Chinese class the other night. Once again both exceeded our expectations. My husband keeps saying it’s better than going out to restaurants as the recipes and quality are amazing.

The whole Be Inspired experience has helped me love cooking again. I was sick of cooking the same old things - meal time is a lot brighter thanks to you Roberta.

Your recipes are something I always feel confident offering guests and also reasonable in the time to prepare. We often try your recommended wines and suppliers and enjoy your travel tales too!

Thank you for stocking our pantry with such authentic Ingredients and quality produce. We really like the flexibility of cooking over a couple of days and changing the order we cook the dishes in when we want to. And I love listening to the themed playlist while cooking.

I am absolutely loving Be Inspired! There are ingredients I have never worked with before so having the confidence to try something new is so much fun! The recipes are just amazing and the notes on what can be prep’d beforehand are a great help too. Thank you so much.

Awesome fun traveling through Emilia-Romagna experiencing first hand some of the produce I've worked with over the last couple of years cooking with Roberta's classes – the family are reaping the benefits now.

Food, wine and travel! Three of my favourite things! Be Inspired with Roberta has been a wonderful experience and given me more confidence in the kitchen. I have learnt so much, cooked things I never would have attempted without Roberta’s excellent videos, and used ingredients I have never tried before.

I'm a competent cook whose learned so much from Roberta's online cooking classes. The recipes are yummy and Roberta’s video guidance offers so many little tips to improve flavour and organise the flow of preparation. I enjoy her warmth, sense of humour, and ability to giggle at herself when she occasionally messes up.
