Bulletin avayii&tft©: "Aunt Sammy's Eadio Recipes." **# This morning, while I was thinking about roast turkey dinners, and what a lot of work it is to prepare holiday meal s, I was reminded of the big feasts which were served in the days of old, when knights and lords and ladies lived in merrie England, Do you know that they used to celebrate Christmas for two weeks, or more? The biggest feaSt of all came on Christmas day, when the feudal chieftain enter- tained all his friends. The boar's head was the main dish on the menu. All £ the "best people" served a boar's head at Christmas time. It was always carried to the banqueting hall on a gold or silver platter, by a special servant, amid the flourish of trumpets, and strains of minstrelsy. Next in importance to the boar's head was a peacock. The skin and feathers were first carefully removed, and the peacock was roasted. When it was done, the bird was sewed up again in all its gorgeous plumage, its beak was gilded, and itvasi/sent to the table. Only noble hands could serve this splendid dish. It was brought into the dining hall by the most distinguished and beautiful. • lady guest. She was followed by the rest of the ladies, and they entered the hall to the sounds of music. The dish was placed before the master of the house, or his most honored guest, who, no doubt, was'/ skillful with the carving knife, as he was with, the lance,' in joust or tournament.

Kate trained as a Sports Massage Practitioner working with Olympic and Paralympic gold medalists. Working with athletes’ means food and nutrition has always been a hot topic of conversation and she’s always had a passion for cooking and baking. It was actually one of Kates clients who was in despair over her child, who refused to eat any vegetables or even much fruit. “I made some chocolate brownies with spinach, spinach being such a nutrient dense vegetable. My challenge was to make the vegetable the biggest ingredient, after a lot of trial and error we came up with a winning recipe, and not only were they demolished by all children and parents, they were asking for more.” A few years later and after lots of pressure to bake more and more cakes, brownies and slices, Kate decided to give up working as a sports massage practitioner and work on her cake business full time. Kate can often be seen at prestigious food festivals or giving baking demonstrations at events. Blackberry Cottage has won numerous awards.

  • WEEKEND KITCHEN RECIPE SHEET 29Th November 2015 Hannah
    WEEKEND KITCHEN RECIPE SHEET 29th November 2015 Hannah Miles My Great Grandma’s Christmas Pudding Recipe Making Christmas Puddings is one of my family traditions – as I am sure it is in many other families. When the whole family is together in September or October, we make the Christmas Puddings in my Great Grandma’s crock pot, each of us taking a turn to stir three times with eyes closed and make a wish. Christmas Pudding wishes always come true! There are many traditions surrounding Christmas puddings. They are meant to be made on Advent Sunday, four weeks before Christmas, which is often given the name “stir up Sunday”, a reference to stirring the puddings. In times gone by, families would return from Church that day, all stir the pudding (from East to West in honour of the Three Wise Men!) and children would sing “Stir up, we beseech thee, The pudding in the pot; And when we get home We'll eat the lot.” A coin was hidden in the pudding before cooking and its finder when the pudding was eaten would supposedly receive great wealth. In my family, we still put silver threepenny bits in our pudding that have been passed down through the generations. Other traditional additions to the pudding include a ring to foretell a marriage, a thimble for a lucky life (or that the finder would remain a spinster or bachelor forever depending on which tradition you believe), a wishbone to bring good luck and a small anchor for safe passage. Make sure that any items you place in your pudding are pure silver as alloy metals can react with the brandy and fruit and will ruin the pudding! We use the same recipe now that my Great Grandma used.

  • Christmas Food
    CHRISTMAS CUSTOMS: Christmas Food A Medieval illustration showing the consumption of frumenty. Christmas pudding developed from this 14th century porridge which was made from beef and mutton combined with raisins, currants, prunes, wines and spices. Frumenty had a soup-like consistency and was eaten on Christmas Eve to line the stomach, before the consumption of much richer food over the Christmas period. By the late 1590s, cooks were adding eggs, breadcrumbs, dried fruit and spirits to create a thicker mixture more like plum pudding. By 1650 it had become a staple Christmas dessert. Baked goods representing 300 years of mince pie history ( front row 1670 to 1720; back row 1861 - 1871. ) The original pies were made from minced meat - usually shredded mutton or veal but tripe could also be included. A range of other ingredients might be added, from raisins and prunes, to dates, mace, cloves and orange peel. Despite being savoury, some of the pies were also glazed with sugar. During the 17th and 18th centuries, specially shaped pies became a way of showing one’s wealth and social status, as only the rich could afford to employ the best pastry-cooks. By the 19th century roast beef pie fillings were popular, laced with rum, brandy, port and candied peel. It was from this rich sweet-savoury mix, that our modern shortcrust pies developed. According to Medieval custom, if you eat a mince pie on each of the 12 days of Christmas, you will have happiness for the following 12 months. It is also traditional on Christmas Eve for children to thank Father Christmas by leaving him a drink and a mince pie, plus carrots for his reindeer.

This will be the last newsletter before Christmas and I sincerely hope 2021 will see the finish of this terrible pandemic. I am sure you will agree, it has altered our lives so much especially not being able to meet our friends at the Centre. Writing this letter to you over the last 9 months or so has been a life saver to me, as it has given me something to do and contributed to reducing the boredom at this terrible time. So, thanks to everyone, who has sent me news throughout the year and I would also like to add my heartfelt thanks to Chris Rash, who works wonders with the design of this letter. Also, to Liz and Debbie, who send it out as an email and by post. So have the happiest Christmas that you can and keep well. So, I look forward to hearing from many of you again next year. So some seasonal information! The History of the Christmas pudding.….………….……… Christmas pudding originated in England. A traditional pudding is dark in colour and usually soaked with brandy or other alcohol. The origin of the Christmas or plum pudding goes back centuries and is steeped in tradition. The very first version of the pudding originated in the 14th century. The British made porridge called “frumenty” made of beef and mutton with raisins, wines, currants, and spices – quite a collection of tastes! At that time pudding tended to be more like soup and was eaten in the time of Christmas preparation.
