Summer With A Touch Of Glass



Food lovers across the North East are being invited to sample a new summer menu, where the origins of the ingredients are as clear as the plates they’re served on.

From today (June 23) the National Glass Centre Brasserie, Sunderland - which serves many of its meals on carefully crafted glass plates - will be offering a new array of seasonal dishes, made primarily from ingredients sourced within a 50 mile radius.

This includes a Gourmet Beef Burger, topped with hand-crafted, Northumberland cheese, a sandwich or salad with crab caught off the North Shields coast and a free-range omelette, carefully crafted using eggs from Northumberland’s Sunnyhill Farm.

A variety of breakfast options will also be available, including freshly poached or scrambled Sunnyhill eggs and a sausage sandwich boasting bangers from South Tyneside’s family pork butcher, Dicksons.

Patrick Lesca, chef at National Glass Centre Brasserie, said: “The North East is packed full of amazing producers, and this menu is all about showcasing those local heroes in the finest way possible.

“All of our new dishes have been prepared with pride and passion to ensure they maintain the ingredients’ freshly-picked taste and offer a true reflection of the best this region has to offer.”

The National Glass Centre Brasserie is run by 1879 Events Management, which also oversees all catering and events at the National Glass Centre and Stadium of Light, as well as offering a wide range of services for other external functions.

The venue’s new summer menu, which will be served from 10am until 4pm Monday to Thursday starting this week (June 23)  and until 9pm on Friday and Saturday from July 11, also includes a variety of light bites, grazing plates, children’s dishes and cakes, with many available to eat in or takeaway.                                                               
A separate afternoon tea will be served daily from 2.30pm until 4.30pm, with the option to add a glass of fine wine or pink champagne for those who wish to truly indulge.

Prices start from £4.50 for a main course, with a weekly-rotating menu of summer specials, such as pea, broad bean and cucumber bruschetta and pan-fried coley steak, also available at a two-for-one rate.

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
