TASTE THE TRUE FLAVOURS OF SPRING ON A YORKSHIRE FOOD FINDER CULINARY TRAIL




Seasonal trails for 2013 include rare breed lamb, charcuterie and butchery skills, sustainable fishing and preserving, fresh cheese making and pairing with ciders and ales from across the county.

Put an early spring in your step by booking a place on an exclusive culinary trail with Yorkshire Food Finder and taste the seasonal specialties of England’s finest food producers – and the county’s top chefs.

Yorkshire Food Finder, the first guided gourmet tour company to provide access to the larder of England’s largest county, has launched a calendar of more than 30 trails for 2013 – with more in development. Traversing the spectacular scenery of the North Yorkshire moors and coast, the Dales and David Hockney’s beloved Wolds of East Yorkshire, these full- and half-day trails give food-lovers and travellers unique access to the best food in Yorkshire and opportunities to learn new skills.

More than 25 artisan food producers are represented including award-winners such as Shepherds Purse Cheeses, Wold Top Brewery, Gareth Barlow and Howardian Hebrideans, Burdass Lamb, Ampleforth Abbey, Botton Creamery, Taste Tradition, Anna’s Happy Trotters and Staal Smokehouse.

Each trail is ‘hubbed’ around a top restaurant and ends with a signature feast cooked by award-winning chef-patrons using products seen on the trails. These include Andrew Pern at The Star Inn, James Mackenzie at the Michelin-starred The Pipe and Glass, Tim Bilton at The Butchers Arms and Ben Cox at The Star @ Sancton.

For serious foodies and professionals, there are skills-based trails with opportunities to learn charcuterie, butchery, fish smoking, cheese and ice cream making, as well as cookery master classes. Other trails are less hands-on, giving guests time to enjoy exclusive behind-the-scenes access to rare breed farms, country estates, creameries, cellars and quaysides, and sample a delicious selection of regional products.

Set up in 2012 by former journalist Sue Nelson and railway man Aidan Nelson, both passionate regional food experts, Yorkshire Food Finder is a celebration of the county’s centuries-old traditions of great food production, craft, taste, landscapes and livelihoods.

Sue Nelson said: “For years, we’ve been secretly savouring the best of Yorkshire food from superb cheese and smoked fish, local charcuterie, rare breed meat, lovely liqueurs and gorgeous game. We got to know the chefs and producers and their unique stories, and wanted to share the passion they  have for Yorkshire produce with food-lovers far and wide. A Yorkshire Food Finder trail is designed so foodies can appreciate the skill and commitment required to make good food great – and savour the difference.”

Yorkshire Food Finder trails start at £95 per person including transport, tour and either lunch or dinner. Trail numbers are limited to 12 people for more intimate access and last between six and 10 hours. Bespoke trails, for private groups as well as incentive, team building and corporate entertainment can also be arranged.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

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.

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...
