Welsh business cooks up a culinary delight with new offering


19 April 2012

A South Wales video company has turned its successful ‘Coginio’ cookery DVDs into a luxury short break for foodies who want to experience the taste of Wales on their UK short break.

Film42, based at the Culverhouse Cross media centre in the Vale of Glamorgan, is partnering with luxury four-star golf, spa and leisure hotel, The Vale Resort, to offer the food-lovers break which has proved popular with individuals, couples, hen parties and best friends alike.

‘The Taste of Wales Cooking Break’ combines luxury bed and breakfast accommodation at the Vale Resort with a fun morning of cooking, conversation and exploration of Welsh ingredients, recipes and culinary culture, brought together over lunch.  What a great idea for a UK short break.

Welsh food ambassador and broadcaster, Sian Bassett Roberts, developed the Coginio cookery course to showcase Welsh produce and recipes in a way that was accessible and fun. Coginio is the Welsh word for cookery. She said: “Welsh produce is coveted around the world, yet many people are still unaware of our culture of food and its impact on our heritage.

“The Taste of Wales break combines the cook-along style of the Coginio cookery DVDs with hands-on cooking, talks about ingredients, food culture, local sourcing and the history behind some of Wales’ best known dishes. The break is designed to offer guests the opportunity to learn how to cook some of Wales’ most renowned dishes, while having fun and eating some great produce.”

Steph Metson of The Vale Resort said: “We are delighted to be working with Coginio to offer guests a different type of experience and a taste of what Wales has to offer. The informal nature of the course and the friendly team behind Coginio have undoubtedly proved to be a big part of the attraction for guests. The cookery element of the break is great fun and the cook-along style has brought out the competitive side of some guests, leading to some great food and banter over lunch.”

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
