Jelly Belly Offers Sweet Recovery At The Brit Awards




Never mind the G&Ts, after the exhaustion of the BRIT red carpet and Awards on Wednesday night,  everyone wanted a yummy jelly bean rush!  The Jelly Belly jellybeans Sweet Recovery bar at the Brit Award's party was so popular that it had been pretty well emptied within 45 minutes of the party starting. " It was crazy" said an observer "but delicious!"  



Following the colourful theme of artist Damien Hirst who had designed this years' Brits trophy statue, 90,000 Jelly Belly beans were shipped in for the Sweet Recovery bar.

They were displayed in their iconic bean machines and the give-aways were blister packed like authentic pill packets - suitable for a hangover perhaps?  Sweet recovery indeed.

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.

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 ad…

The Ultimate Pancake Recipe from the Brand New Mountain Café Cookbook: A Kiwi in the Cairngorms

The ultimate pancakes recipe is available from brand new cook book, The Mountain Café Cookbook: A Kiwi in the Cairngorms, published this month by Kitchen Press.
The recipe is adapted by Kirsten Gilmour, chef and owner of the iconic Mountain Café in Aviemore, from one passed down to her from her grandmother.
Kirsten said:
“This was originally my nana's pikelet recipe, which I think she adapted from a copy of her mother's Edmonds Cookery Book. I loved making these with her. She would stand and supervise while I stood on a chair flipping away. My granddad and I would then sit at the kitchen table stuffing in hot pikelets with lashings of whipped cream and raspberry jam.”
The Mountain Café Cookbook: A Kiwi in the Cairngorms is the debut cookery book from chef and café owner, Kirsten Gilmour. Gilmour draws on her Kiwi roots to turn out contemporary dishes with an antipodean love for fresh and bold flavours.
