Time for a summer jamboree
ADVANCE planning a barbecue can be temperamental, for chef- owner Jonny Nicholson of The Sail Loft in Southwold. We love a good barbie in this
country, almost as much as our Aussie friends do down under, but, and a big but it is, unlike their lovely sun-kissed Antipodean oasis, we cannot rely on the good ol’ British weather. Would you with any certainty, or is that sanity, confidently say to friends, “yes, come over for a barbecue three weeks on Saturday”, even if it was the height of summer. If you are that brave, I would wager you would still have the local takeaway on speed dial or made a restaurant
reservation
just in case, until you’ve seen the forecast the week before? However, there

like eating al fresco when the skies are blue and the sun is beating down (with factor 50, a big floppy cricket hat and a huge pitcher of iced Pimms to hand). Like the boy scouts, it’s all about preparation, coming up with a menu that is just as lovely whether rainy or sunny, indoors or out. So I suggest if you are advance planning a cook-out on the lawn, rather than the ubiquitous array of grilled meats and seafood, pick a one pot ‘wow factor’ dish that happily cooks on the barbecue but is easily finished in the kitchen, should the heavens open. One of my good friends
is an avid pyrotechnic, a hint of
I'VE got lots to tell you this month, so let's get started by sharing our good
that Leiston
red sky at night and out comes the tongs and apron. In his case, he uses a Kadai firebowl, which essentially is a huge metal cauldron on a stand in which you burn seasoned logs in (you can use charcoal). A great centrepiece for guests to sit around (if a children- and pet- free zone), much like a chiminea crossed with a barbecue, it makes a real talking point. And whilst the wood is burning down to embers,
guests can
have fun knocking up their own flatbreads, cooking them over the flames using a khara (basically a holey grill plate on a long pole, like an old bedpan). Of course, this generally ends up in hilarity, burnt offerings and free cabaret. Whatever your barbecue,
gas, charcoal or log-fired, one really flexible dish, come rain or shine, that you can rely on, is jamabalaya. If you love its Spanish cousin, paella, you will love this Creole version from the southern part of the United States but this cooks much quicker and easier plus it doesn’t stick. Basically, it’s a spicy pilaff recipe and you can mix ’n’ match to suit what you have to hand and what you particularly like eating. I tend to stick with the classic combination of chicken breast, chorizo and fat prawns. More authentically it would be chicken thighs on the bone but as it cooks so fast and over a high heat, I prefer it to be in boneless and skinless chunks. As with all
Film
Theatre has recently received a Certificate of Excellence from Trip Advisor. We absolutely love seeing such wonderful comments about our venue, which really does make all our hard work worthwhile. See for yourself, or even leave your own review at:
www.tripadvisior.co.uk. We've been welcoming some big crowds to our venue, to enjoy the array of fine films and terrific live shows. We've also been really busy moving forward with our foyer refurbishment and we hope to have everything completed in time for our summer season, with blockbuster films including Rocketman, Toy Story 4, Spider- Man: Far from Home, The Queen’s Corgi and the eagerly awaited live action version of The Lion King all coming to our screen in the coming weeks.
Our foyer improvements will also include the introduction of a Visitor Information Point, or VIP for short - quite fitting don't you think? Visitors will be able to pop in and obtain information on what's on, accommodation, where to eat and drink and all manner of attractions that Leiston and district has to offer. Our big film for July, which is already receiving some great reviews is on screen at the Film Theatre from the UK release date of Friday 28th June - Thursday 18th July and is the romantic feel-
good film, Yesterday (12A), from director Danny Boyle and starring Himesh Patel, Lily James and Ed Sheeran. The film tells the story of a struggling musician, whose fortunes turn when he wakes after a cycle accident to find that The Beatles have never existed! Cloning their songs as his own, he becomes an overnight singing sensation. Extensively filmed in Suffolk and Norfolk, with locations including Southwold, Lowestoft, Halesworth and the Latitude music festival. Tickets now on sale at: www.

For the Cajun seasoning, Bart or Schwartz do good versions but if you use a lot of it, you can easily make your own recipe for this spice blend, just look online. This is a three pan dish in the kitchen for ease (apologies for the washing-up!). On the barbecue with just a paella pan, you will need to brown the meat first and remove; then fry the vegetable mix before adding the rice ingredients to simmer together; adding the meat back in at the end with the raw prawns, before cooking through. 400g long grain rice; 1 litre good chicken stock; 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning; 2 tsp minced garlic;

Few bay leaves (fresh are best) Stir
altogether in a heavy
saucepan over a high heat, cover and bring
to a simmer before
cooking on low for 15 minutes whilst you cook the vegetables and meat. Good Suffolk rapeseed oil;
1 large red onion, peeled and roughly chopped; 2 tsp minced garlic; 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning; 1 large red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped; 1 green and 1 red bell pepper, deseeded and cubed; 1 large courgette, ends removed and cubed; 300g frozen broad beans, defrosted; 6 large tomatoes, destalked, deseeded and cubed.
Cook these vegetables and the meat stage below simultaneously. Heat up a good layer of oil into a deep sauté pan, add the onions, garlic and chilli. Stir-fry over a medium heat until starting to soften and colour. Stir in the Cajun seasoning and the other vegetables (except the beans). Keep cooking, covered, stirring every few minutes, until softened. Add in the beans and cook for a few more minutes. 1 whole chorizo sausage (spicy is best), halved lengthwise and sliced; 4 large chicken breasts, cut into thumbnail chunks; 300g large raw prawns, defrosted.
In a wide frying pan, heat up a
glug of oil over a high heat, when hot, add the chorizo and stir-fry for a minute or two. Add in the chicken, stir to coat and leave to brown for a couple of minutes. Turn over to brown the other side for two more minutes. Stir every minute and when chicken is firm, add the prawns and stir-fry until cooked. To serve: 1 large lemon, cut into wedges Small bunch of flat leaf parsley, leaves shredded 4 spring onions, finely shredded Combine the vegetable pan and the meat pan contents with the fluffed rice. Stir well together, adjust the seasoning (sea salt, black pepper and Cajun), squeeze over the lemon juice and scatter with the spring onions and the parsley before serving.
