Noble Rot 16 George Reynolds uncovers some mythical gastronomic texts Images by Tom le French ROTTERS’ LOST COOKBOOKS* * NB No actual chefs were involved in the making of this article 16 Noble Rot Noble Rot 17 ere at Noble Rot we are – From Bollock to Arsehole Hof course – connoisseurs of the by Fergus Henderson most delicious restaurant dishes A true labour of love from the high priest of modern British food, this book should rightfully take its place alongside Nose to Tail Eating as one of the and finest wines, but love to turn our movement’s most important texts. And indeed, the interest generated around its launch was sizeable – only to subside mere weeks later as home hands to cookery, too. In this issue we cooks ran aground on some of the most challenging recipes the medium had seen. The signature mordant Henderson wit is on full display, but somehow had originally intended to run a list of could not entice people to attempt sow’s teat braised in Sauternes, soused bull’s pizzle, or a very different take on the St. John classic, a glass of favourite cookbooks compiled by the usual Madeira and a slice of seed cake. The occasional bold supper club pops up roster of celebrity chefs, but after a period from time to time proposing to take some of the tome’s most intimidating assemblies, but it truly takes a genius on Fergus’ level to make his of soul-searching we realised that we’re infamous spotted dick (“not that kind”) anything more than actively disgusting. not fucking Buzzfeed, and that you, our beloved Rotters, deserve so much more. The Toast Cookbook So, having over the years heard whispers by Nigel Slater about a number of mythical cookbooks – Writing The Toast Cookbook – an ill-advised tie-in to Nigel Slater’s 2003 memoir – was a written by the good and great of contractual obligation revealed to Slater just 36 hours before it was due for delivery to his gastronomy, but otherwise practically publisher. The need to fill the stipulated 200 pages in as little time as possible may explain forgotten by history – we scoured Britain the slightly superfluous nature of some of the dishes (there are separate recipes for peanut to try and find the lost legends that butter on toast, raspberry jam on toast and PB&J on toast, each occupying a double- you almost certainly will not have on your page spread; in addition, after pouring out his childhood’s most painful memories just a few shelves. Not all of them contain recipes months earlier, Slater’s heart is clearly not in this exercise. Curt introductions (“I ate this you’ll actively want to make for yourself once on holiday; I liked it”), combined with increasingly disinterested instructions (“It’s just toast; you just toast the bread, in a toaster”), – but all have a story worth telling. And make for not just one of the least essential cookbooks ever written, isn’t that the point of any good cookbook but one of the most depressing, too. in the first place? 18 Noble Rot Noble Rot 19 The passage on cauliflowers is essential reading, but unprintable in a family publication such as this Actually, I Hate Pomegranates by Yotam Ottolenghi This short, self-published work was hastily pulled from shelves by Ottolenghi’s team just days after it hit the market. The dominant theory is that by the publication of Jerusalem, Yotam had had enough. In the foreword, he explains: “I like eating that Mediterranean/Middle Eastern stuff from time to time, but no one likes anything that much. Sometimes a man just wants a pie and a pint, you know?” As well as featuring recipes for the dishes the author actually likes to eat, the author is unstinting in his criticism of what he considers unfairly overrated ingredients such as Persian limes (“shit”), Za’atar (“edible asbestosis”) and rosewater (“like rimming a granny”). The passage on cauliflowers is essential reading, but unprintable in a family publication such as this. Antony Worrall Thompson – With Attitude! by Antony Worrall Thompson As the rap/hip hop craze went mainstream in the 1980s, food media churned out more than a few well-intentioned but disastrously executed attempts to cash in. This is perhaps the worst-executed of all, exhibiting both cynicism and blatant lack of cultural sensitivity. Dishes like Pimp’s Brioche and Antony’s Wiggity-Wiggity Waffles are bad enough; the sight of Worrall Thompson, on the tie-in TV show, referring to some pan-fried scallops as “these sweet little bitches” is one that will unfortunately live even longer in the memory. 20 Noble Rot Noble Rot 21 Let’s be ‘Aving Ewe by Delia Smith When the Mutton Marketing Board noticed a concerning drop in sales in the summer of 2006, they turned to the only celebrity chef that could arrest the slide. The resulting collaboration is notable particularly for its monomaniacal attempts to substitute ovine products into recipes where they surely do not belong: Coq au Vin (Except It’s Made With Hogget); Lamb and Eggs; a very ahead-of-its-time Mutton Tonnato. A cover featuring a heavily made-up Delia in a sheepskin coat led to predictable headlines, and was swiftly replaced. Jamie’s 30 Second Meals by Jamie Oliver 2013 saw a bizarre arms race between two of the UK’s most celebrated celebrity chefs, as Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver traded blows over who could promise home cooks dinner on the table in the shortest possible time. Oliver started the craze with his Fifteen Minute Meals, before Ramsay shot back with Top Ten in Ten just months later. Oliver’s Fastest Ever Dinners promised three courses in an average of three minutes each; the conflict escalated after Ramsay tweeted “Oi, Speedy Cuntzales – this is how you sell a book!” at Oliver after Three Stars in Three Minutes (which disclosed recipes for replicating a full dégustation menu from Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in just 180 seconds) stormed to the top of the charts. Oliver’s follow-up, Me Two, bombed, and many thought the race was over with Gordon in 60 Seconds, released just in time for Christmas. Somehow, though, Oliver managed to slice the time in half, offering turbo-charged meals such as Speedy Supermarket Ceviche to a delighted public. In early 2014, Which? conducted research concluding that the average time to cook any of these meals was still a little over 45 minutes. 22 Noble Rot Noble Rot 23.

  • The Vital Link Guide
    Sporting Legends Real Fast Life Fiction Tense Thrillers The Vital Link Guide Humble Pie Gordon Ramsay Introduction The launch of a fourth set of Quick Reads titles on World Book Day in March 2008 provides another great opportunity to introduce less confident adult readers to the world of books. This is particularly important during the 2008 National Year of Reading which has adult literacy learners as a priority audience. The response to the books published since the launch of the Quick Reads initiative in March 2006 has been enormously positive. Thousands of people have discovered an enjoyment of reading for the first time. Tutors and other professionals have recorded an increase in learners’ confidence, motivation and acquisition of literacy skills. The Vital Link encourages practitioners to integrate reading for pleasure into their work with adult literacy learners through partnership with the public library service. Support from the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills has enabled us to provide tools to link the Quick Reads into regular teaching practice and into more informal contact with adults who are improving their literacy skills. As part of this work, The Vital Link has created resources to support use of the Quick Reads. These provide a ‘way in’ to using the books in a range of settings through ideas for discussion and extension activities. We have included suggestions for other reading materials, printed and online, and curriculum references for the main learning points. The resources for the Quick Reads published in 2008 are available to download as individual PDF or Word files from www.vitallink.org.uk.

  • Celebrity Chefs As Brand and Their Cookbooks As Marketing
    Celebrity Chefs as brand and their cookbooks as marketing communications This paper discusses how consumers understand and interpret celebrity chefs as brands and utilise the cookbooks as marketing communications of the benefits and values of the brand. It explores the literature around the concept of celebrity, identifying it as something which is consciously created with commercial intent to such an extent that to suggest celebrities become brands is not hyperbole (Turner, 2004). It discusses the celebrity chef: how they are created and their identity as marketing objects (Byrne et al, 2003). It discusses common constructions of the meaning of cookbooks as historical and cultural artefacts and as merchandise sold on the strength of their associated celebrity’s brand values (Brownlee & Hewer, 2007). The paper then discusses its findings against two research objectives: first to explore the meaning of celebrity chefs for consumers and second to suggest a mechanism of how this meaning is created. Using narrative analysis of qualitative interviews this paper suggests, that consumers understand and consume the celebrity chef brand in a more active and engaged way than traditional consumer goods brands can achieve. It also suggests, as a development from tradition views of cookbooks, that those written by the celebrity chef brands are acting as marketing communications for their brand values. Defining Celebrity Celebrity is much written about by social theorists (Marshall, 1997; Monaco, 1978) and as such there are many taxonomies of celebrity which Turner (2004) and discusses at some length in his work Most interesting for this work is the concept of the Star (Monaco, 1978), fame is achieved when their public persona eclipses their professional profile in the ways of Elizabeth Hurley or Paris Hilton.

Introduction Celebrity is much written about by social theorists (McNamara, 2009; Ferri, 2010; Lawler, 2010) and as such there are many taxonomies of celebrity, which Turner (2010) discusses at length. The concept that celebrity is a ‘cultural formation that has a social function’ (Turner, 2010:11), and the contemporary significance of celebrity itself remains a key topic for debate (Couldry and Markham, 2007). Celebrities are considered as role models for millions of people, especially younger citizens (Couldry and Markham, 2007), who are the focus of this study. Pringle (2004:3) suggests that ‘celebrity sells’, and outlines the extent to which society becomes influenced by these figures due to their prevalence in everyday life. Becoming well-known public figures, where they have adversaries as well as fans (Henderson, 2011) celebrities have attracted significant literature, which is split on their benefit and detriment to society (Couldry and Markham, 2007).

  • NIGELLA LAWSON in CONVERSATION with ANNABEL CRABB Concert Hall, Sydney Opera House, Wednesday 20 January 2016
    MEDIA RELEASE Friday 20 November 2015 GP tickets on sale Friday 27 November SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE PRESENTS NIGELLA LAWSON IN CONVERSATION WITH ANNABEL CRABB Concert Hall, Sydney Opera House, Wednesday 20 January 2016 The woman who put the pleasure back into food, Nigella Lawson, will bring her trademark wit and warmth to the Sydney Opera House this summer in the latest in a series of sold-out appearances by contemporary culinary stars, including Yotam Ottolenghi, Alice Waters and Jamie Oliver. Lawson will take to the Concert Hall stage on 20 January, 2016 for an evening of conversation with the woman who puts the politics into food, the host of the ABC’s Kitchen Cabinet Annabel Crabb. Lawson’s Sydney Opera House appearance coincides with the launch of her first book in three years, Simply Nigella, which – as its title suggests – encapsulates Lawson’s joyfully relaxed and uncomplicated approach to food. Her debut cookbook, How to Eat: The Pleasures and Principles of Good Food, and television show Nigella Bites made Lawson a household name. She has since become a prominent figure on the Food Network, Foxtel and Channel 10. Lawson was named Author of the Year by the British Book Awards for How to Be a Domestic Goddess: Baking and the Art of Comfort Cooking – hailed as the book that launched a thousand cupcakes – and was voted Best Food Personality in a readers’ vote at the Observer Food Monthly Awards in 2014. Ann Mossop, Head of Talks and Ideas at the Sydney Opera House, says “Nigella Lawson has charmed us all with her approach to food and cooking, and we cannot wait to welcome her to the Concert Hall stage with Ideas at the House favourite, Annabel Crabb.

  • A Message from Mark Price - Waitrose MD Celebrating International Picnic Day the History of Cocktails
    Food & Wine June 2013 The Journal of The International Wine & Food Society Europe & Africa Committee Free to European & African Region Members - one per address - Issue 115 A Message from Mark Price - Waitrose MD Celebrating International Picnic Day The History of Cocktails © Brittany Ferries 1 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE Dear Members, Writing to you at three monthly intervals certainly brings home how quickly they pass. For Eve and me this period has seen relocation from our home of 39 years to something smaller, albeit within sight of the previous property. We were pleased to be able to find time to attend events of both the Manchester and the Merseyside & Mid-Cheshire branches, including their respective Annual General Meetings. I write this near the end of April and we are looking forward to attending a Liverpool branch event for the first time. Terry Lim and friends are to be congratulated on building that branch into a viable entity in a short space of time. Congratulations are also due to the Zurich branch for organising a very successful break in the Lake Maggiore area this April. That leads me to mention news of some other areas where prospects are being nurtured. Experience has taught us that a promising start is no guarantee of getting sufficient members for a provisional charter to be granted but Latvia and Athens are two possibilities. So also is Munster and in that connection, if you have friends who live in or around Cork who might be interested in joining a branch in that area then please pass details to Katie Wilkins (contact notes appear next to the Editorial) so that they can be notified of developments.

Since then, the amount of food available from farms inspected and approved to RSPCA welfare standards has increased dramatically. We cannot say that high welfare farming – to RSPCA welfare standards – is the norm, but things are steadily moving in the right direction. These days, most food retailers sell some Freedom Food labelled products. It might just be eggs from your corner shop, beef and lamb from a farm shop or chicken from one of the big supermarkets. But if you hunt for the Freedom Food logo, you should be able to find it – and if you can’t, ask for it! The Freedom Food logo on a pack or counter ticket is only found on meat, poultry, eggs, milk or salmon from animals looked after at each stage of their lives to RSPCA welfare standards. Some producers may claim to be high welfare, but if it is not carrying the logo, it hasn’t been reared on farms inspected to RSPCA welfare standards and subject to our rigorous traceability and audit system. About Freedom Food When you buy the high welfare ingredients to make the recipes in this book, you will be directly helping to improve farm animal welfare.
