‘NAFF’ DINNER PARTY FAVES

A cookery school in France, run by a British husband-and-wife team, is
launching a course to teach the French how to cook! The Jubilee and the
Olympics have inspired a taste for all things British in France.

CookInFrance owners, Jim and Lucy Fisher, have received numerous requests
from French clients wanting to learn how to cook British food.

Launching over the Jubilee weekend, and continuing throughout the summer, is
the British Restro (retro restaurant) Course. People will be able to learn
how to make  a contemporary take on classic dishes from each of the six
decades our Queen has reigned:

The menu comprises:

Canapés: Coronation Chicken/ Cheese & Pineapple Sticks/ Mini Quiche
Lorraine, Mini Spam Fritters


70s

Starter: Prawn Cocktail Fondue

Jim, a former policeman, was a BBC Masterchef finalist and has since worked
with Rick Stein, Tony Tobin and Alistair Little. He met his wife Lucy when
she was working in the City and instantly fell in love with her when he
discovered she was also a butcher.

They now run their own school in France and are adamant they can turn the
most inept cook into a chef in just five days.

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
