OaSH OF THE WEEK PARTYTREATS


WITH BOOTHS SUPERMARKET


EASTER is fast approaching and is the time for feasting at Booths Supermarkets - with inspir­ ing party recipe ideas, a fresh look at local ingre­ dients, and a fantastic in-store competition to win a fabulous feast for 20 family and friends at Cumbria's beautiful Holker Hall. The company also has some great additions


to its popular “By Request” pre-order service for specialist foods, making Easter easier and more exotic than ever. Booths customers order from a range of rare


items, as well as the best of the region's local pro­ duce, with orders a,vailable for collection in no


! more than four days from the date of order. I New in the range this Easter are gourmet of lamb, dressed lobster, poached salmon joint, green lip mussels from New Zealand and ready- cooked whole crab claws.


■ Unusual spring vegetables include Swiss chard, mooli, kohl rabi and sea kale, and you can now get even more exotic fruit such as the rambutan, tamarillo and pitahaya, as well as baby pineapples from “By Request”. Booths h ^ also announced that it is now only


stocking certified free range and organic eggs in all its stores.


Here is an idea on how to make Easter eggs for grown-ups. EGGS BENEDICT


9 Split and lightly toast a muffin and top with blanched baby spinach, flakes of moist smoked haddock, crisp rashers of bacon, a poached organic or free range egg.


\


9 Thickly coat with fresh, creamy JoubEre Hollandaise Sauce and eat at once.


For starter ,why not t ry ... ASPARAGUS and GOAT’S CHEESE TART


It's easy. YoU'U need ready-made JusRol puff


pastry rolled out to a rectangle to fit your bak­ ing sheet. Spread the pastry with soft goat’s cheese leaving a 1cm border. Top with lightly- oiled asparagus spears, lengthways. Brush the border with beaten egg and bake in a hot oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden. Serve hot or warm. For main course try this gloriously seductive


and aromatic dish. I t is a perfect marriage of saffron, fennel and orange.

SAFFRON SCENTED CHICKEN STEW Ingredients


O 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs cut into


two or three. 9 Olive oil 9 5 garlic cloves 9 3 shallots, chopped 9 1 fennel bulb, chopped 9 1 leek, chopped 9 1 stick of celery, chopped 9 1 carrot, diced 9 1 tbs of fennel seeds 9 A good pinch of saffron, soaked in a little warmed cooking wine 1 small glass of pastis


9 2 glasses of dry white wine 9 200ml of JoubEre chicken stock 9 2 tbs of sundried tomato paste 9 500g of potatoes, peeled and quartered 9 3 sprigs of fresh thyme, and 2 4 bay leaves 9 Strip of fresh orange peel Method


1. Heat the oil and cook the chicken a few pieces at a time, until golden. Remove the chicken from the pan and reserve. Sweat off the garlic, shallots, fennel, carrot, leek and celery together until soft. Should take about 10 minutes. 2. Add the fennel seeds, pastis, \irine, paste, herbs,, saffron, orange peel and stock and bring to the boil. 3. Add the potatoes, return the chicken to the pan and simmer slowly until the potatoes are tender. Remove the herbs and orange peel. Serve with fresh aioli.


IF we were to look at all the world’s grape varieties, put together in a book in order of amount of total plant­ ings around the world then cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay would encom­ pass chapters. With its tiny yields and


unreliable ripening the viognier would rate a cou­ ple of sentences. However, i t is the most


fashionable white grape variety a t th e moment, considering i t was once near to extinction. Back in 1965 there were only eight hectares planted because many Vignerons left the hard work of steep terraced slopes to work in the indus­ trial towns of Vienne and the like. The likes of George Vernay have helped turn this situation around and his wine is seen as the benchmark for good Con- drieu. You can expect to start


at the £15 mark for a bottle of Condrieu which is 100% \nognier, move to the tiny single Appellation of Chateau (Irillet, and you can start at £30 for a bot­ tle.


Viognier produces full-


bodied golden ivines, some­ times high in alcohol, always hauntingly tantalis­ ing on the nose. The wine is

Weekendpilis Speech contest


SIX members of Clitheroe Speakers’ Club took part in a recent speech contest. Organisers commented it


was a great evening with “laughter all th e way”, which made it a difficult task for the three judges. The winner was Mr

judge, presented the tro­ phies and Mr Clarke will go forward to area confer­ ence in November. The next meeting will be

Loud applause accompanies pianist Liz’s return to school


RETURNING to her Ribble Valley roots, classical pianist Liz Stoddart gave a spell­ binding performance at Clitheroe Royal Gram­ mar School. I t was the last concert


of this season organised by Clitheroe Concerts Society and proved a resounding climax. A former pupil of the


grammar school, Liz (pic­ tured) now lives in Scot­ land but travelled to stay with her mother, who still lives in Clitheroe. Former classmates will remember her as Liz Morton. Her performance was


loudly acclaimed by an appreciative audience. The recital displayed excellent technique and


her rendering of two Beethoven Sonatas, “The T em p e s t” and “The Moonlight”, were heard in the first half of the con­ cert. Pieces by Rachmaninov


and Chopin, a f te r the interval, were brilliantly played and beau tifu lly expressive. Loud and per­ sistent applause resulted in Liz playing two encore items, much to the delight of the audience. Many local friends,


including her first piano teacher, Jean Hartley, and former school friends came to hear Liz, who dedicated the concert to the memory of her father, Mr Jim Morton. He died last year and is


well-remembered by many people in the town.


A talk on a little-known area


THE Millom poet Norman Nicholson’s poem "Sea to the West" provided the title for the illustrated talk by Mar­ garet Curry to Clitheroe Nat­ uralists last week. Like the poet she has a


deep affection for the west coast of Cumbria, which showed through her colourful and imaginative pho­ tographs. Her talk and pic­ tures covered the area from Morecambe Bay to the Sol­ way Firth, and demonstrated the social and industrial his­ tory of the region from the


a r r iv a l of Irish monks in Heysham through the rising and declining industries of fishing, iron mining, ship building and tourism along this sea coast. Some of the memorable


stories and. scenes were those of the rock cut graves near the old chapel a t Heysham and the detailed photographs of the art-deco Midland Hotel in Morecambe, which is being lovingly restored to its early 20th Century glory. Although the main attention was directed to people, monu­


ments and buildings, there were also stunning pictures of orchids and the natural beau­ ty of the lonely beaches in th e i r various moods, the canal basin in Ulverston and the striking cliffs a t St Bees. Famous names were evoked


by reference to Eric More­ cambe, Laurel and Hardy, P au l Jones and William Wordsworth - quite a selec­ tion. Margaret held attention n o t only through her pho­ tographs, b u t by her quiet humour and unusual anec­ dotes, not least th a t of the
