Shugborough Hall Craft, Food and Garden Show
Thanks to everyone who came to say hello at this wonderful show.We were very lucky with the weather, just a bit of a downpour Sunday afternoon but it didn't dampen any spirits.
Nigel cooked up a beautiful tuna steak wrapped in bacon with mediterranean tagliatelli and a white wine dressing followed by caramalised bananas with a toffee sauce and fresh strawberries in a sugar basket.
Hope to see you all again at Newby Hall this weekend.

Basic Flapjack Recipe
Nigel uses this recipe to make all the flapjacks for his stand at food shows and festivals around the country. Give it a try and maybe experiment with your own flavours and combinations and if you find a fab one let us know so we can try it too.
600g Oats
450g Soft Brown Sugar
450g Unsalted Butter
180ml Golden Syrup
Optional Flavours:
Just add the following to the basic recipe:
Vanilla - 2 tbsp vanilla essence
Sultana - 200g sultanas
Date & Walnut - 100g chopped dates and 100g chopped walnuts
Apricot - 200g chopped moist apricots (dried)
For other flavours try experimenting with ingredients such as raisins, chocolate chips, ginger, banana etc
Method
1.Grease a baking tray and line with quality thick foil. Pre-heat the oven to 160ºC.
2. Melt the butter in a saucepan, once melted add the sugar and gently warm.
3. Remove from the heat and stir in the oats, golden syrup and your chosen flavour ingredients. Mix well and press into the baking tray using a palette knife or spatula (having been dipped in water to reduce sticking to your utensils).
4. Bake for approximately 20 minutes to a golden colour but not brown as if you leave it too long it will be too hard to cut.
5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool wrapped in foil to retain moisture. Once cooled, remove foil and using a large cook's knife cut to the desired sizes.

Strawberry Fruit Fool
Serves 4
STRAWBERRY FRUIT FOOL
Ingredients
Strawberry Puree
250g ripe strawberries
25g sugar
Fruit Fool
250ml whipping cream
½ teaspoon vanilla essence
25g sugar
Custard
8 egg yolks
25g sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
½ pint milk
Method
Place the strawberries (keeping a few back for decoration) into a pan with the sugar and bring to the boil, allow to simmer, cool down and blend with a hand blender. Pass through a sieve to remove strawberry seeds and refrigerate.
To make the custard separate the egg yolks from the whites (the egg whites can be used for other recipes such as meringues or clarifying consommé). Combine the egg yolks, sugar and vanilla together. Place the milk into a pan and bring to the boil. Once the milk has boiled remove from the heat and whisk into the egg, sugar and vanilla mixture. Strain the mixture back into the pan to ensure there is no egg shell etc, place back on the heat, stirring continuously for 2 minutes (do not allow to boil as it may curdle and resemble scrambled egg). Once the custard has thickened without boiling and coats the back of your spoon with a thick consistency, transfer to a bowl and chill.
When all the ingredients are cold, combine two thirds of the strawberry puree with the custard, whip the cream, sugar and vanilla to a stiff peak and fold into the puree and custard mixture.
To present your fruit fool, pour the remaining fruit puree around the inside edge of a tall wine glass, chop a few remaining strawberries and place at the bottom of the glass and using a spoon or piping bag fill the glass two thirds full with the fruit fool mixture. Refrigerate for one hour and for service decorate with fresh strawberries.

Hi Sarah, that's a really good idea. I'll make sure we get some classes like that into the schedule. Cooking is such a fabulous pastime to do together whatever the age range and children make wonderful students because they have no pre-conceived ideas of how food should look or taste, they'll have a go at anything. Posted February 19, 2008 |
It would be great to have cookery classes for parents and children together. There are classes for adults and classes for children but there doesn't seem much for both. I know my 7-year-old son would love to cook with me but it's difficult at home with my three other children. Plus I'm not a great cook to start with so I could definitely use some help!

Hi Jenny, thanks for your comment and you're absolutely right, all students should be given the opportunity to be inspired to take control of their own future. If you'd like to email myself or Nigel maybe we can work out a way to help your students. Posted February 18, 2008 |
i work as a tutor in an inner london college and the students i work with have never been out of london and are on a very low income
i think it would be a very good thing if the cookery school was not only available to people who can afford it but to enthusiastic young people who would like to work in the catering industry but oare on low income we have a allocated sum of money to take the students on holiday , but i think it would be great to take them to a cookery school where they could see what they could become if they worked hard
yours sicerly
