Adam Simmonds debuts on Great British Menu 2013




ADAM SIMMONDS ON THE BBC’s GREAT BRITISH MENU 2013

Michelin Star chef from Danesfield House Hotel & Spa, Adam Simmonds, is
about to make his debut appearance on the BBC’s Great British Menu 2013.

Simmonds, Executive Chef at Danesfield House Hotel and Spa, Marlow
Buckinghamshire will soon be seen battling it out against the culinary
forces of Tom Aikens and Matt Gillan on our TV screens, as part of this
year’s Great British Menu.

The eighth series of the BBC’s prime time culinary competition kicks off
with Adam’s heat on Monday January 28th and can be seen on BBC 2 at 7.30 pm.


Adam was one of only three chefs selected to represent the whole of London
and the South East this year, mentored throughout the competition by former
Great British Menu winner, Richard Corrigan.

This year The Great British Menu has been timed to coincide with the BBC’s
Comic Relief nationwide fundraising campaign and a well-known comedian will
be joining the regular judging panel of famous food experts, Matthew Fort,
Oliver Peyton and Prue Leith for each hotly contended heat.

The seven regional winners will compete in the final for their chance to
cook at the Great British Menu Comic Relief Banquet at the Royal Albert
Hall.

Speaking of his experience on the show, Adam says: “To say it’s been a bit
different to my day job would be an understatement! When you’re involved in
a TV programme as big as this, you have your head down at all times and you
get pulled left, right and centre.

‘It was only when I finished filming that I realised what I’d been through
and what I’d managed to achieve. The experience of competing in The Great
British menu has been priceless.

‘It was fantastic to be chosen for the show and to be up against two such
great chefs.  I feel very honored.’


The Great British Menu starts on January 28, 2013 on BBC2.

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...
