  • Recipes for Your Sustainable Seafood
    Recipes for your sustainable seafood Not sure how to cook what’s on offer at your local fish merchant? Here we recommend the fish that are sustainable to buy and suggest some recipes to try with them. Brown crab Cancer pagurus Brown crab, also known as edible crab, is the heaviest British crab. About a third of the weight of the crab is meat, two thirds is white and third is brown. It's used to make 'dressed crab' where the shell is cleaned out and used as the dish. Crab is also used to make fish cakes, crab sticks and paste. Brown crabs mature at about 10 years and averagely lives for 30 years, but some have been known to go on till they're 100! The vast majority of brown crabs in the UK are caught by potting. This is a low impact and relatively selective method of fishing, any bycatch or discards can be returned alive to the sea with high survival rates. Brown crab from the Inshore Potting Agreement Area in Devon, the Western Channel or Cornwall are the best choices for crab in the UK. Avoid eating crabs below the minimum landing size (13-14 cm in most areas of the UK) and crab claws, unless it is certain they have been removed from the animal after landing. Egg-bearing or "berried" females should be avoided at all times to allow them to spawn. (Information source: MSC Good Fish Guide) Brown crab Recipes - These four recipes from The Guardian include jungle curry with crab and a spring salad.

  • Pierre Koffmann BIOGRAPHY
    Pierre Koffmann BIOGRAPHY Koffmann occupies a unique position among chefs in this country. He is the chef of chefs, the chef all other chefs look up to. - Matthew Fort, Guardian Weekend Combining a rustic gutsiness with haute cuisine, Pierre Koffmann knows how to combine tastes and flavours like no one else. He cooks the kind of food he likes to eat; the food of the French countryside and of his grandparent’s farmhouse kitchen in rural Gascony. Pierre’s cookery books include Memories of Gascony (new edition June 2016; Mitchell Beazley), and La Tante Claire: Recipes from a Master Chef (Sep 2012; Mitchell Beazley). Classic Koffmann was published in 2016 by Jacqui Small, and won the 2017 James Beard Foundation Book Award for ‘Cooking from a Professional Point of View’. He has appeared on numerous television shows, including Masterchef and Masterchef: The Professionals (BBC), Saturday Kitchen (BBC), The Chef’s Protégé (BBC), and as judge in the BBC One daytime show Yes Chef which ran for two series in 2016-2017. After training in his hometown of Tarbes, southwest France, Pierre worked his way up at restaurants across France and Switzerland, before moving to the UK. Pierre quickly found himself working as Sous Chef for Michel and Albert Roux at Le Gavroche and within six months he was promoted to Number 2. After a quick stint at Brasserie Benoit in the City, Pierre was appointed Head Chef at the Roux Brothers’ new Waterside Inn at Bray. In his five-year tenure he helped them achieve two Michelin stars. In 1977, with backing from Michel and Albert Roux, Michael Caine and Professor Von Clan, Pierre opened his first restaurant, La Tante Claire, in Chelsea, achieving his first Michelin star the following year, a second in 1980 and third in 1993.

  • Want Some Recipes? Here Are Some Ideas
    WIMBLEDON VILLAGE FAIR SATURDAY 21 JUNE: PRODUCE IDEAS FOR WI STALL Can’t think what to make? Want some recipes? Here are some ideas Anne Harrison's Rich Scones http://www.thewi.org.uk/what-we-do/recipes/baking/anne-harrisons-rich-scones The scones of Anne Harrison, the Vice Chair of the WI and Chair of Denman College are legendary! Here is Anne's recipe for creating the perfect scones, superb with jam and clotted cream. Scones are best eaten the day that they are made. 340g (12 oz) Plain Flour 25g (1 oz) Sugar 110g (4 oz) soft Margarine 1 Egg 1 slightly rounded teaspoon Bicarbonate of Soda 55g (2 oz) Currants or Sultanas – for fruit scones ¼ pint (150ml) Milk 2 heaped teaspoons (use a large teaspoon) Cream of Tartar Method 1. Turn oven on oven to 200°C (or slightly above) or Gas mark 7 2. Put flour and margarine into a bowl, sieve in cream of tartar and bicarbonate of soda, and rub together until it resembles fine breadcrumbs 3. Stir in sugar and mix well (if making fruit scones add the fruit at this point) 4. Make a hollow in the centre – add the egg and sufficient milk to bind all together. It should be soft and springy – not firm and solid 5. Turn onto a floured surface and roll out to approximately 3cm deep, it should not be too thin 6. Cut out the scones with a sized cutter of your choice – the best scones come from the first rolling so cut out very close together 7.

  • From River Cottage to Chicken Run: Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and the Class Politics of Ethical Consumption
    From River Cottage to Chicken Run: Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and the class politics of ethical consumption David Bell School of Geography University of Leeds Leeds LS2 9JT d.j [email protected] Joanne Hollows Communication, Culture and Media Nottingham Trent University Clifton Lane Nottingham NG11 8NS j [email protected] Paper accepted for publication in Celebrity Studies, February 2011 From River Cottage to Chicken Run: Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and the class politics of ethical consumption Abstract Lifestyle television provides a key site through which to explore the dilemmas of ethical consumption, as the genre shifts to consider the ethics of different consumption practices and taste cultures. UK television cook Hugh Fearnley- Whittingstall's TV programmes offer fertile ground not only for thinking about television personalities as lifestyle experts and moral entrepreneurs, but also for thinking about how the meanings and uses of their television image are inflected by genre. In this article we explore how the shift from the lifestyled downshifting narrative of the River Cottage series to the 'campaigning culinary documentary' Hugh's Chicken Run exposes issues of celebrity, class and ethics. While both series are concerned with ethical consumption, they work in different ways to reveal a distinction between 'ethical' and 'unethical' consumption practices and positions - positions that are inevitably classed. Keywords: lifestyle television; River Cottage; celebrity, ethical consumption Introduction Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall is one of the UK's leading television cooks. He is best known for a number of programmes which since 1999 have centred around River Cottage. This began as a smallholding, and subsequently grew into a business HQ, located in rural South West England.
