A VERY FINE PAIR! SPICED PEAR RESTAURANT SCOOPS DOUBLE AT YORKSHIRE LIFE FOOD AND DRINK AWARDS


Chef Tim Bilton of The Spiced Pear

The Spiced Pear Hepworth is seeing double, having won both ‘Newcomer of the Year’ and ‘Chef of the Year’ at the Yorkshire Life Food and Drink Awards yesterday.

The multi-award winning, family run restaurant and tearoom – run by chef Tim Bilton and wife Adele – swept the board, with the judges describing Tim as a chef “who has been both courageous in business and in his personal life”.

“Tim has shown unstinting determination in the face of adversity and, in just over a year, created one of Yorkshire’s top ‘destination’ restaurants,” commented the judges. “While a devastating eye cancer diagnosis might have made most people take a step back, Tim instead used it to help inform other men about cancer…and despite the challenges of hospital appointments and operations, set about launching and running a new restaurant. His commitment to Yorkshire food and hospitality has been unwavering.”

Accepting the award, the overwhelmed chef said: ‘I’m so proud of everything my team and I have achieved in the past year, and to be recognised by Yorkshire Life for our hard work is an amazing end to our first year at The Spiced Pear.’

The stunning restaurant and tearoom, which opened in May 2013, offers locally sourced food, teatime treats on vintage crockery and a chic cocktail bar with grand piano. Since opening, it has been crowned ‘Readers Restaurant of the year for the North East’ by Waitrose Good Food Guide 2015, ‘Best Afternoon Tea’ in the Deliciouslyorkshire awards 2013/14, and Tim has been listed in the Northern Restaurant and Bar Awards Top 50.

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
