Discover Olive Oil With European Commission's Olive Oil Expert, Judy Ridgeway At Honesty Cookery School



Honesty Cookery School (www.honestygroup.co.uk), founded by award-winning cookery book writer, Romilla Arber to assist under confident cooks and inspire the more experienced, is offering an introduction to the wonderful world of olive oil. The course, 'O for the love of Olive Oil' will be taught by the European Commission's olive oil expert, Judy Ridgeway and will take place on Tuesday 20th May from 10.30am until 12.30pm.  The course will cost £25 and will include a series of olive oil tastings.

What Judy Ridgeway doesn't know about olive oil could be stored in an olive skin, she travels frequently to the producing regions in Italy, where she meets the growers and visits the mills, tasting oils along the way.  During this two hour workshop, Judy will introduce course attendees to her vast experience and knowledge.  She will teach what to look for when tasting different oils, and provide a good background understanding about olive oil and extra virgin olive oil.

Judy Ridgway was chosen by the European Commission to define a now generally accepted vocabulary for describing olive oil and she was also the first non-Italian judge to sit on the judging panel of the prestigious Leone d'Oro Awards for olive oil in Italy. Now she is ready to share her olive oil knowledge with her pupils at the Honesty Cookery School at the specialist course on the 20th May.

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 .

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
