DISH OF THE WEEK WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO
ON a recent press trip to Italy I was fortunate enough to stay in two fabu lous hotels in Venice and Florence. The first was the Europa and Regi na Hotel, in Venice, pictured. Situat-
■ ed on the Grand Canal, a stone’s throw from St Mark’s Square, the grand hotel glowed with 18th Centu ry charm and had the intimacy of a Venetian home.
: Our party of eight enjoyed lunch on the terrace of the hotel, overlooking the canal and a view of the Santa Maria della Salute. The magnificent
: lunch included the most tender and tastiest warm octopus and artichoke salad, followed by a pasta dish with tomato and prawns, followed by asparagus and salmon risotto. After wards came the main course of grey mullet, with potato, tomato and red onion. The dessert was chocolate and coffee mousse. All this washed down with copious quantities of wine. . In the evening dinner was served in an intimate dining room and this also included a prawn and grapefruit starter, a pasta dish and a risotto dish followed by the main course of local fish. The following day we were taken into the countryside along the Brenta Riviera for a tour of three villas. Lunch was a t the Margherita Restaurant, in Mira. Here we enjoyed

a “Great Sea Salad with balsamic vinegar”. The first course was black noodles with scampi and cherry toma toes and the second course was small lobsters cooked under sea salt. Dessert was a trio of sorbets and home-made cakes and biscuits. The hotel in Florence.was the Anglo American Hotel close to the American
Embassy. Here again a magnificent dinner
was served of fish in mustard sauce, seafood and crab moneybags followed by sea bass and potatoes. So you can tell from all this food,
which also included delicious break fasts, that a diet is imperative, but
here is a recipe for risotto for you to try and capture the flavour of Italy. This creamy risotto is flavoured
with a mixture of wild and cultivated mushrooms and thyme and you could add some prawns or fish if you like. Ingredients (serves four)
9 2 tbsp olive oil © 1 large onion, finely chopped • 1 garlic clove, crushed © 7oz. mixed wild and cultivated
mushrooms, such a ceps, oyster, porci ni and button, wiped and shced'if large © 9oz. arborio (risotto) rice, washed © pinch saffron threads

Challenge of barbecued food!
THE better-than-expected weather this weekend brought with it that familiar odour of barbecue lighter fuel. This, and sometimes rather well-done
pieces of meat, can be quite a challenge for a wine. My wines of the month for May are
well up to this tough test. Ancora was a range I first tasted at
Vinitaly. The red was featured in the Val ley magazine a couple of weeks ago, but I

Mr John Prickett, auctioneer

cially opened by Mr Robert Forster, chief executive of the National Beef Association. The new purpose-built sales centre has a capacity to hold 1,000 cattle or 5,000 sheep. In the auction mart’s show and

pre-sale judge Les Thackery, Ripon, for the champion Mule hoggs with single lambs at foot from R. G. Johnson, Harrogate. S. J. and R. K. Handley, Ingle-

can highly recommend the white Ancora Trebbiano d’Abrusso, £3.99, produced by the Araldica co-op, which, utilising its state-of-the-art winemaking facilities has sourced high-quality, generously flavoured wines from central and south ern Italy. The Abruzzi region is in central Italy, between the Adriatic and the Apennines. It is very hilly, and these sundrenched slopes are perfect for growing the treb
biano grape. In this example the wine is a very fresh, dry white, with ripe peach and citrus fruit characters, nice length and a clean finish. Well chilled, it is perfect for a sunny
afternoon. Now if you want to eliminate one of
the unrequired tastes from your barbe cue, wooden wine-box lids are perfect for lighting fires, so next time you’re in, ask for some.

Finishing touches to memorial concert
THE concert in memory of Edmond Cambien is just two weeks away. Rehearsals are well
under way for what promises to be a spectacu lar show. Stage manager John
Wilkinson has appealed for a model lamp-post - the one previously used in productions is no longer available. Whether it is made of wood, cardboard or lightweight metal does not matter, as long as it can be easily utilised as a
stage prop for the song "Leaning on a Lamp Post"! There will be a draw
each evening of the three- night show, to be per formed on May 20th, 21st and 22nd a t St Mary's Centre, Clitheroe, and any prizes would be wel come. Anyone who can offer a prize is asked to contact Pat Hall on 01200 422472. Anyone able to supply a lamp-post should contact Bill Taylor on 01200 443709.
b r o w n - McDo n n e l l
RELATIVES travelled from London and Leicester to attend the wedding ceremony of Miss Maureen McDonnell and Mr Charlie Brown. The bride, front counter receptionist at
the Glitheroe Advertiser and Times, is the daughter of Mr Joseph McDonnell, of St Annes Square, Low Moor, Clitheroe, and the late Mrs Maura McDonnell. The bridegroom, a company director for
Gee-Co Precast Ltd, is the son of Mr Charles Brown, of Shire Lane Farm, Hurst Green, and the late Mrs Winnie Brown. Given away by her father, the bride
wore a full-length deep red two-piece crushed-velvet gown, with train and laced at the back of the bodice. She carried a hand-tied bouquet of
black baccara, dolce vita roses, hypericum berries, wax flower and safari sunset with
gold coiled wire. Matron of honour Mrs Heather Bate
man was accompanied by bridesmaids Lorraine McDonnell, who is the sister of the bride, Miss Kerry Johnson, daughter of the bride, and Miss Amy Brown, the bridegroom’s daughter. They wore full-length gold-coloured
two-piece gowns with deep red stoles. Their bouquets were smaller versions of
the bride’s. The couple’s daughter, Niamh Brown,
was the youngest bridesmaid. She wore a gold Bo-Peep-style dress with gold netting and a deep red waistband with flowers on
her skirt. Instead of a posy, she carried a Teddy
bear wearing a red and gold dress and car rying a story book with her name on it with the meaning inside. Best man was Mr Mark Bateman and

istrar Mr H. Bretherton, and the recep tion were held at the Moorcock Inn, Waddington. Dublin was the newlyweds’ honeymoon
destination. The bride and bridesmaids were driven

pink Cadillac. The couple will live in Clitheroe. Photo: Zoie Carter-Ingham

- ; Make sure your horse is legal
HORSE owners throughout the Ribble Valley are being reminded that there less than two'months left before the new sys tem of compulsory “horse passports” comes into force. Nationally, up to 10,000 horse-related enter
prises including veterinary practices, riding schools and other businesses have been sent leaflets and posters, reminding horse owners in England that they should obtain a horse pass
port by the deadline of June 30th, 2004. There are currently around 70 passport issu
ing organisations approved by Defra the Department of Food and Rural Affairs - to which horse owners can apply for the appropri ate document. A full list of these organisations and advice on
how to obtain a passport can be obtained by phoning the department's helpline on 08459 335577 or you may visit its website on
www.defra.gov.uk/rural/horses.
New European legislation requiring all horse
owners to have passports for their animals was introduced in 2000. The UK must comply in order to safeguard its right to continue using common horse medicines. In addition, the equine industry believes a
passport system will have other benefits. For example, it will discourage indiscriminate breed ing of horses and ponies which may be of low quality and value. A requirement of the new legislation is that a
passport must accompany a horse being sold. This means a potential buyer will be able tc
check that the identifying particulars of a horse are correct, which may lead to a reduction in the sale of stolen horses. The introduction of passports for all horses
received the support of the majority of the equine industry following a full consultation.. New legislation came into force in November
last year stipulating that horse owners should obtain a passport by June 30th 2004.
