A PRmvTTxriiiNrT marrkpt. town in the Ribble Valley is fighting back in words


ket


and pictures. Members of the Longridge Her­


itage Committee have published a booklet entitled: "Longridge - All of Lancashire in a square mile." The pages are packed with pictures


old and new, maps, drawings, two town trails and items from the Victo­ rian press and census returns. Extremely well designed, proceeds from its sale will go to The Longridge

nership. Easy to read and informative, members of the heritage committee have told the story of how Lon­ gridge bega.n life as a small settle­ ment around St Lawrence's Church some 500 years ago and grew follow­ ing the demand for Longridge Fell stone. This resulted in a railway line and business boomed. Between 1850 and 1874, four coal-powered cotton weaving mills were built along the line with an influx of workers as Longridge became a large industrial village. As the rail­


way was superseded by road trans­ port and the mills closed, the town continued to grow, with people moving in to live in a small country town which is easily accessible to the attractive countryside beyond. The growth of the various indus­ tries is detailed, as are local land­


marks. For residents of Longridge past


and present, "Longridge - All of Lancashire in a square mile" will make fascinating reading. The booklet is on sale at


Clitheroe Tourist Information Cen­ tre and at Kaydee Bookshop, in Moor Lane, Clitheroe, priced £5.

SPROUTYCAKE with Felice Toochini


l if e has never been sweeter because yoii can now have your cake and eat it without feeling even the tiniest pang of guilt. For Felice Tocchini, the


British Sprout Growers’ Associ­ ation’s official chef, has devised a'recipe for this year’s Good Food Show called "Sprouty


Cake”. It features not just one, but


two vegetables, walnuts, eggs, cinnamon and an array of other healthy, all natural ingredients. As its name suggests, one of


the vegetables in the mixture is sprouts. Not only are sprouts packed with vitamins, including vitamin C and vitamin B9, which is better known as folic acid, they are a good source of fibre and contain at least two compounds known to" have proven cancer protective benefits. So finishing a meal or enjoy­


ing afternoon tea with a slice of Felice’s moist cake, which can be served with an optional frosted yoghurt topping,' is a virtue not a vice, but does it taste good? Before the British Sprout


Growers’ Association agreed to let i t loose on the discerning public, i t was tested on the sternest of audiences and harsh­ est of all food critics - four to 11- year-old-pupils of St Nicholas’ Primary School, Alcester.


The school was chosen


because of its proximity to Felice’s kitchen, at Fusion Brasserie, Longbarn Village, Alcester., . The children’s verdict was a


massive thumbs up. Says headmistress Mrs Sally


Staley: “We are always looking at ways to encourage pupils to eat up their vegetables and this cake certainly proved a winner”. Adds Felice: “Children make


excellent food critics because you can usually tell by their faces if they like something.


“Unlike adults, they aren’t


yet ruled by convention to feign politeness. “They will spit out some­


thing that doesn’t taste good, wrinkle their noses and then tell you it was rubbish! Thankfully, my Sprouty

Clitheroe Advertiser and Times, Julie Frankland, trav­ elled to the Good Food Show at the NEC and tasted the Sprouty Cake and told me it was delicious. So if you have a glut of sprouts here is what to do with them.


Ingredients


© 200g caster sugar 0 150 ml vegetable oil


0 4 eggs . . . 9 250g self raising flour © pinch of salt ® 2 tsp of ground cinnamon © 250g sprouts finely shredded • 250 grated carrots © 150g chopped walnuts

Chef’s tip: The cake can be served on its own, or you might like to enrich it by mixing some natural yogurt and icing sugar and pouring it over,the cake.

THINKING about Champagne usual­ ly conjures up that special occasion, but Champagne is a more serious food friendly Mne that you might think. . Centred around the towns of Reims, Epernay and Ay, the heart of the Champagne district lies at the North­ ern tip of France’s most quality wine production. Three selected grapes are used in the production - chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier. If only chardonnay is used the wine will be called Blanc de Blanc and if either or both of the two black skinned grape varieties are used then it will be called Blanc de Noir. The long and complex process starts

with a selection of only the best of grapes often from different vineyard sites within the Champagne district. The well-drained chalky soils are responsible for Champagne’s delicate flavours and overall quality. After the selection of various village wines and combinations of the three permitted grape varieties the final blend is made and bottled. The bottles are then given a “prise


de mousse” which is a yeast base. The process is long and slow, with the mini­ mum time required by law of 15 months ageing in the cellars before release, the longest period of all of France’s appellations. The process of settling the sediment


into the neck of the bottle is done by riddling and inverting the bottles, on average 25 times over a period of a month-and-a-half. Finally the plug of sediment is frozen and ejected under pressure to leave a clear wine, ready for the final dosage. At this stage the \vine- maker can adjust the style of wine made by adding \vine mixed with a lit­ tle cane sugar. TATTINGER is the direct descen­
