Winners Of Whole Foods Market Great Plates Competition Announced!



Ten winners have been chosen in the Richmond Great Plates competition to celebrate the opening of the new Whole Foods Market in Richmond on 8th October 2013. Organised by local charity School Food Matters, the competition was open to all Richmond students who were asked to design a plate reflecting the theme "Things I can grow and eat".

From nearly 700 entries, the judges selected the ten final winners from a shortlist of 100. "There were some stunning designs from children ranging in age from four to 15 years old", said Larry Hadley, Store Manager at Whole Foods Market Richmond and judge. "Carrots, peas, cabbage, and strawberries were all popular choices and the winners made them come to life in very imaginative ways." Larry was joined on the judges panel by Zac Goldsmith MP, local chef Paul Merrett, Blue Peter Gardener, Chris Collins and editor of Richmond & Twickenham Times, David Rankin.

The winners are:

Tabitha Ellis (11 years) from Lowther Primary School, Arjan Singh (5 years) from Chase Bridge Primary School, Barnaby Honeywill (10 years) from Radnor House, Michael Collier (15 years) from Clarendon School, Lucie Doggett (6 years) and Caitlin Petson (8 years) from Bishop Perrin CE Primary School, Rose Saied (9 years), Dixie Liddell (8 years), Isaac Barton (8 years) and Lauren Lauchlan (9 years) from Hampton Junior School.

Each winner will see their designs made into real plates and featured in store as a piece of permanent decoration from October. In addition Carlisle Infant School, Hampton Junior School, Bishop Perrin CE Primary School and Clarendon School have been awarded a prize of a year's supply of organic fruit and vegetable plants for their school's allotment for submitting the most entries.

Zac Goldsmith MP said, "The judging was extremely difficult because of the hard work children had put into their designs, and because the quality was so high. I want to thank everyone who took part, and congratulate the ten winners. Whole Foods Market will begin life in Richmond with uniquely colourful walls!"

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. 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
