Something good coming to the TV.




Now last year I was take up completely with the program “Michel Roux Service” and I do not know if it is coming back this year but I hope it is. For those of you who did not know it followed the progress of a group of young people form different back grounds being trained to become front of house staff. I for one was a very big fan.

Now I find that I could be getting a lot more Roux for my television time as it had been announced that the Roux Family, that is the family, are going to be in a new program called “The Roux Legacy.”

It will be on UKTV good food Channel and have behind the scenes footage of The Waterside Inn and Le Gavroche. With interviews with both Albert, Alain, Michel Sr and Michel Jr as well.  What more could you ask for , well you will get the family working next to each other in two masterclasses  of two recipes and the show will end with Roux Scholarship as a climax as the winner is revealed.

As a Family goes, you do not get much more influential than this and I do hope that you will see a good gripping program. The Roux family name has bee at the very top of British cooking for the past forty years and the Roux scholarship is one of the most prestigious awards. So let us hope that we will get to see how it all works out.

The Roux Legacy is on from Sunday to Thursday at 8pm from January the 29th; I for one will be watching or putting it on sky plus, not to be missed.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
