All I want for Christmas is…Chocolate.


All I want for Christmas is…Chocolate. The Chocolate Festival returns to
Southbank Centre 14-16 December

4 July 2012

Like the very best Advent calendars, The Chocolate Festival will be packed
full of surprises, gifts and chocolates.  Exhibitors include Rococo,
Valrhona, Original Beans, William Curley, Damian Allsop, Paul Wayne Gregory,
Sir Hans Sloane, Paul A Young, L’Artisan Du Chocolat and many more.

Visitors will not only have the opportunity to eat and shop (indulging in
treats such as chocolate chilli, chocolate beer, chocolate macarons, fudge
and chocolate cakes) but can chat to some of the UK’s top chocolatiers and
learn about different aspects of chocolate, including health benefits, uses
and how to taste like a professional. 

A series of free tutored tastings, talks and demonstrations will be
available in the Chocolate Cookery Theatre, coordinated by renowned chef and
culinary expert Valentina Harris. The Spring Chocolate Festivals held in
London and at spots around the UK this year had over 100,000 visitors, and
it is expected The Christmas Chocolate Festival at Southbank will be even
more popular.

A full list of all events and exhibitors will be announced on The Chocolate
Festival website

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
