A 10 MINUTE drive through Colne on a damp Wednesday night found yours truly at one of the area’s newest restaurants. Tams at Crosshills occu­ pies the site of the former Silk Cottage and has been trading since the turn of


people - Paul Cunliffe, of Nelson; Tarl Caple, of Burnley; Daniel Frankland, of Blackburn; and Catherine Long, of Rossendale. The play has been described as a


"dark reflection on the world as it stands" and "like seeing the world through a dark glass brightly." Performances are at 7-30 p.m. on


Wednesday and Thursday. For ticket inquiries call 07880 757188.

The first thing that cap­ tured my imagination was the menu, not only for the sheer number of dishes available, including a hefty vegetarian selection, but for this unique menu introduction! "There is an abiding and passionate love of

DISH OF THE WEEK


LAST season's sell-out success has prompted the Halle Choir to perform its annual choral offer­ ing. With a line-up which is sure to


hit the high notes it will perform some of the all-time greats,


including the "Hallelujah Cho­ rus" - a piece which often brings audience members to their feet, and Beethoven's "Ode to Joy". Owain Arwel Hughes will con­


duct the singers and Halle Orchestra members through a programme which also features Faure's "Pavane", and another Handel great, "Zadok the Priest". ©Tickets, from £6.50, are


available by ringing 0161 907 9000.


CARAMELISED BALSAMIC AND RED- ONION TARTS WITH GOAT’S CHEESE Delia’s How to Cook Book Two


IN the absence of my colleague, Marcia Morris, I have taken over the mantle of supplying Dish of the


Week. This recipe, from Delia Smith, was published recently in


the Mail on Sunday’s You magazine and my husband, Tony, has made it many times with great success. He will be making it again this weekend as a starter for our friends, John and Jackie, who will be dining with us to cele­


brate John’s birthday. And I have no intention of telling you how old John is in


case he returns the favour when it is my turn! Ingredients


(for the pastry, makes eight)


9 3oz. butter at room temperature © 6oz. plain flour O ‘


2oz. grated mature Cheddar


® 'A tsp mustard powder © pinch of cayenne pepper


O a little cold water ® 1 large egg, beaten, for brushing


For the filling


® 6 tblsp balsamic vinegar ® 21b. red onions peeled and finely sliced O 2xl00g soft-rind goat’s cheese with top and bottom rinds removed each sliced into four rounds O loz. butter ® 1 dessertspoon chopped fresh thyme O 8 sprigs fresh thyme O a little olive oil © cayenne pepper for sprinkling O salt and freshly-milled black pepper


(You will also need eight mini flan tins A'Ain. diameter, hin. deep and a Gin. plate to cut around.) Pre-heat oven to gas 4, 350° F, 180"C


Method


1. Make the pastry by rubbing the butter lightly into the flour then add the cheese, mustard and cayenne, plus enough cold water to make a smooth dough. Leave it to rest in a

Enough time was given for chat and sampling of the Tsingtao Chinese lager before the main courses arrived. First came aromatic crispy duck which was prepared at our table and came complete with pancakes, hoi sin sauce, cucumber and spring onions and was delicious. Our other selections were sizzling fillet steak Cantonese style, chicken in honey and lemon sauce, and pork szechuan style with Yeung Chow fried rice. Of the main courses, the sizzling steak was the favourite with the chicken dish being

Coffees were included in the set menu price and by the time we had reached them we were


both pleasantly full. There is a lack of Cantonese/Chinese


restaurants in the area and that in itself makes Tams a worthwhile choice. Coupled with a relaxed atmosphere and wide variety of dishes, it certainly deserves your attention. LEE-JOHN BANKS

to cutting eight rounds. 3. Line the greased flan tins with the pastry, prick the bases then place on a baking sheet and cook in the centre of the oven for 15- 20 mins, or until the pastry is cooked through,


but not coloured. 4. Allow them to cool and store in an airtight container until


needed. 5. To make the filling, melt the butter in a heavy-based medium-sized pan, stir in the onions, balsamic vinegar and chopped thyme. Season and let everything cook very gently without a lid, stirring regularly for about 30 mins, until the mixture has reduced down, taken on a lovely glazed appear­ ance and all the excess liquid has evaporated. Let the mix­ ture cool. 6. Bake the tarts by brushing a little beaten egg over each case - this helps to seal it - and return to the oven for five minutes. 7. Spoon the onion mixture into each case, top with a slice of goat’s cheese and a sprig of thyme dipped in olive oil. Sprin­ kle with a little cayenne and bake for 20 mins. Serve with a mixed leaf salad. DeliciousI


pagne reception with canapes, the evening is followed by a com­ parative tasting of six styles of Champagne. This is in the form of a tu to red ta s t in g . Each of these wines will be served with a canape which should help to enhance the flavours found in the wine, or vice versa. The styles on offer are Ultra


Brut, Blanc de Blanc, Rose, Vin­ tage, Prestige Cuvee and finally a Riche, and include such houses as Laurent Perrier, Perrier Jouet, Pol Roger, Veuve Cliquot, Mumm and Heidsieck. Such an o p p o r tu n i ty to t ry so many styles of Champagne with matching food is a rare treat not to be missed. The evening is then followed by


a dinner - main course and sweet - served with two different addition­ al Champagnes, and again ones which should complement the food served. Full details can be obtained


from Northcote Manor on 01254 240555; the price is £50 per per­ son.
