One Month To Go! Devonshire Food Festival 18th - 24th November 2013



There is now just one month to go until the third annual Devonshire Food Festival, with a whole range of dinners and demonstrations taking place from Monday 18th November - 24th November. Taking place at The Devonshire Arms Country House Hotel on The Bolton Abbey Estate, it promises to be a real foodie feast for all involved!

The week will include a variety of live chef demos, light-hearted lunches, afternoon teas, Michelin star dinners, and Chef vs. Chef Events - where two chefs compete against one another to win diners' votes.

Chefs confirmed for this year's culinary extravaganza include new Burlington Head Chef Adam Smith, who has joined Devonshire Hotels & Restaurants from The Ritz, Swinton Park 3 AA Rosette Award-winning Head Chef, Simon Crannage, Head Chef at The Devonshire Fell, Oliver Adams, and 'Great British Menu' contestant and local chef, Stephanie Moon.

Lunches and dinners will be taking place every day throughout the week, each one hosted by a different chef showcasing their talents to a dining room full of hungry guests waiting to sample the delicious dishes on offer that day.

The Chef vs. Chef Lunches will take place on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in the Burlington - where guests can sample a mystery menu without knowing which chef it was prepared by. The winner of the light-hearted challenge is whoever's dish receives the most votes from diners after the lunch. Guests can also meet the chefs behind their dishes with an informal meet and greet session afterwards.

Dinners throughout the week will comprise of a six-course tasting menu from a different Michelin-starred chef each night in the Burlington, including menus cooked by Cinnamon Club Head Chef Rakesh Ravindran, Head Chef at Anthony's Restaurant Anthony Flinn, and Montagu Arms Head Chef Matthew Tomkinson to name a few.

After the tasting menu is served, the chef will be welcomed front of house to meet the guests who have sampled the dishes for an informal chat amongst the tables and a question and answer session.

A special afternoon tea will be prepared by Adam Smith on Sunday 24th November.

Lunches are priced at £39 per person and include a welcome drink. Dinners are priced at £59 per person and also include a welcome drink. Guests wishing to make a night of it can book a stay at The Devonshire Arms Country House Hotel from just £99 per person.

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
