Foodie Winter Breaks To Look Forward To In Suffolk, Derbyshire And Lancashire



     05 Dec 12
If you need something to look forward to for New Year ahead, Food Safari’s food courses combined with a weekend in the beautiful Suffolk countryside at a luxurious boutique bed and breakfast, make a memorable weekend away.

Popular Food Safari courses include game butchery and cookery, wild food foraging and cooking, bread making courses for beginners and more advanced bakers, seafood days catching lobsters and learning about oysters and smoked fish, and a nose-to-tail pork day of butchery, curing and preserving and cookery. For the first time this year these courses are also on offer in the beautiful South Derbyshire countryside and the hills of Lancashire.

In Suffolk, Food Safari has teamed up with boutique bed and breakfast, The Old Rectory. This elegant Georgian house set in beautiful grounds, just seven miles from the foodie, seaside village of Orford and about the same from stylish Framlingham, with its stunning castle. It is a modern country house bed and breakfast with stylish rooms and delicious local food. Special packages are available on two night’s dinner, bed and breakfast with a full or half day Food Safari for two people.

If you can’t get away, Food Safari also offers food courses in London including Urban Foraging in a Day, combining wild food foraging with a cookery; A Taste of the Wild - a introduction to foraging in the city. There are also regular behind-the-scenes tours and courses with Sipsmith Distillery and the London Honey Company.

Gift Vouchers for Food Safari make a great Christmas present. Vouchers are available for specific events or can be left open for the recipient to choose. Attendees leave a Food Safari day with some new skills to try in the kitchen at home, whatever they’ve made in the day and a handful of recipes. We hope to inspire people to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the food we eat.

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
