Great Taste Judges Gather And A New 'Meet The Buyer' Event At Harrogate Speciality Food Show



Diary Date June 22 - 23 

The Harrogate Speciality Food Show, the north of England's largest gathering of artisan and speciality food producers, will take place at the Yorkshire Event Centre on 22 and 23 June 2014. Open to the TRADE only, the show attracts buyers from far and wide who come to meet and place orders with producers - many launching products for the first time at the show.  Also for the first time, there will be an opportunity to watch Great Taste judges, who will be blind-tasting food and drink entered into the world's most respected food accreditation scheme.

John Farrand, organiser of the show and MD of the Guild of fine Food explains: "Great Taste is growing each year and the Harrogate Speciality Food Show provides an ideal location for our judges to gather.  Visitors to the show will be able to see just how much work goes into judging Great Taste and how our judges work in teams to blind-taste each entry.  We are also very pleased to be working with food group Deliciously Yorkshire which will be running 'Meet the Buyer' events alongside the main show area.  This presents even more valuable business opportunities for exhibitors and buyers."  

Over 150 exhibitors will be at the show which last year attracted over 1,000 buyers ranging from delis to chefs, garden centers to farm shops, hamper companies to coffee shops, restaurateurs to publicans.

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
