  • 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.

  • Cooking with Leftovers Why Avoid Food Waste? We All Generate Food Waste – at Home, in School, at Work and on the Un…Everywhere
    Cooking with Leftovers Why avoid food waste? We all generate food waste – at home, in school, at work and on the un…everywhere. early all this food is thrown in the bin, and while some is composted most ends up in the landfill! About 1/3 of all the food we buy gets thrown out! On average, wasted food costs each Irish household €700 a year. For some Irish households this can be over €1000! The food we throw away is a waste of valuable resources as it is expensive to buy and expensive to dispose of. Food has a high carbon footprint as energy is used to grow, harvest, transport, process, package, prepare and sell it. The main types of avoidable food waste are: · Bread · Apples · Potatoes · Salads · Meat and fish · Yoghurts and milk · Spreads and dips Lovely leftover recipes Scrumptious Starters Cheddar Cheese & Bacon Scones Vegetable Soup with Ginger Magnificent Mains Braised Chicken Thighs in Chunky Vegetable & Tomato Sauce Leek & Bacon Pie with Potato Topping Spicy Salmon Fishcakes Decadent Desserts White Chocolate Bread & Butter Pudding Mini Apple & Mixed Berry Crumbles Scrumptious Starters Cheddar Cheese & Bacon Scones I adore these scones as a bread option for a dinner party but also as lunchbox fillers. You can have as much fun and variation as you like by playing around with the ingredients to change the flavour.

  • Support What Hens Do Naturally, Free Range Egg Farmers Tell Chefs and Bakers
    Support what hens do naturally, free range egg farmers tell chefs and bakers. Mary Berry, Jamie Oliver, Rick Stein and Raymond Blanc are among 50 celebrity chefs and high-profile bakers being asked by free range egg farmers to help end Britain’s obsession with large eggs. The British Free Range Egg Producers Association (BFREPA) says hens naturally lay a range of sizes and wants more shoppers to try a box of medium or mixed weight eggs rather than large. The organisation’s chairman, James Baxter, has written to high-profile chefs and bakers to ask them to throw their weight behind the campaign. In the letter he asks them to publicly support BFREPA’s message that bigger isn’t always better. He also asks for references to the size of eggs used in recipes to be removed wherever possible. “We are a nation of food lovers and that is driven on by the fantastic chefs and bakers we have in this country,” Mr Baxter said. “Free range eggs are a staple of British diets but shoppers have become obsessed with getting the biggest egg they can. “Egg size can be affected by a number of variables such as the weather, diet and light levels – as farmers bird welfare is our number one priority and we want to allow hens to lay what comes naturally. “We hope that these letters will resonate with chefs and bakers who are in positions of influence but, more importantly, care deeply about how food is produced.” Retailer promotions and a perceived sense of added value from consumers continues to drive demand for large eggs, but BFREPA says there is often very little difference between the sizes.

  • Jamie Oliver
    Jamie Oliver Jamie Oliver has hit the big time in a big way. He is famous worldwide as an extremely successful chef, cookbook writer, restaurateur, and media personality. His numerous TV programmes have been broadcast in over 100 countries including the US, Australia, Brazil, and Japan, and the accompanying cookbooks have been translated into 30 languages. Since 2004, he has given a great deal of time and energy to improving unhealthy diets in schools both in the UK and the US. His rise to fame and fortune came early and swiftly. By the age of eight he had already started cooking at his parents’ pub. It was an easy way to earn a few pounds of pocket money! After two years in catering college, and a short time in France, he started working in restaurants. He worked under three famous chefs in London before he was spotted by a TV producer at just 21 and his life changed. Headway Fourth edition Upper-Intermediate Student’s Book Unit 6 pp.46–47 © Oxford University Press 20 14 1 Even though he had hardly any experience, he had a lot of enthusiasm for cooking, and was very natural in front of the camera. His first TV programme featured him zipping about London on his scooter buying ingredients and cooking for his friends, all to a rock and roll soundtrack. The recipes didn’t involve complicated cooking techniques and used plenty of fresh ingredients and herbs. It attracted a completely new audience that previously had no interest in food programmes. Jamie Oliver became an overnight success.
