braised OXTAIL IN RED WINEANDALESAUCE witli Chris Bell, head chef at
Heathcotes Longridge Restaurant
FROM pastures to plate was a new experience I enjoyed last week, cour tesy of Paul Heathcote’s organisa tion. The trip entailed a visit to local suppliers for the Longridge Restaurant, followed by a peek into the kitchen to see how the locally sourced ingredients are used in the
menu. Along with a team of young chefs,
representing several of Paul Heath cote’s 11 outlets, the head of devel opment, Matt Nugent, and front of house manager Gary Scott, I trav elled to Far Cappleside Farm, Rath- mell, home of Adrian Proctor and family, who run an organic farm spe cialising in traditional breeds of beef such as Aberdeen Angus, Herefords
and Shorthorns. From there we went a little way
down the road to The Blue Pig Company, established 18 months ago by brothers Andrew and Antho-
ny Bradley and based at Mearbeck Farm, Long Preston. They are the fifth generation of their family to farm in this area. Following foot and mouth they decided to specialise in rare breed pigs. Their free range Gloucester Old Spot and Saddle backs together with the prized Blue Pig, which is a cross between the other two, happlily snuffle about in
the fields and the nursery was a sight to behold with 14 little pink pigs in one warm, straw covered pen and two little Saddlebacks in the other, with their mums course. The Blue Pig is considered to be the best bacon pig of all. The afternoon was a v is it to
Bleikers Smoke House at Pateley Bridge, where we tasted traditional
Hard act to fo l low G iv e a p e t a s e c u re fu tu r e
“Proof’; at The Coliseum The' atre; Oldham I TOOK the precaution of taking a math^ matician with me to see The Oldham (Coli seum’s production of “Proof”, by American Pulitzer Prize winner David Auburn. Not that I needed to have the clever plot
, 5 explained, but I did enjoy her discussion of imaginary numbers in the interval, which helped me to understand that mathemati cians can be as passionate and creative as wordsmiths. This mathematical creativity
is at the heart of Auburn’s play. Catherine (Emma Pike) has given up her
own possibly brilliant future to look after her mathematical genius father, Robert (Paul Webster), who is suffering from a
mental breakdown. The action of Auburn’s play follows
events just after Robert’s death, when stu dent Hal (Mark McCallum) is searching through Robert’s papers to find potentially stunning new discoveries and Catherine s sister, Claire (Fiona Battisby), returns from New York to take charge. But Hal and Claire are faced with startling news. Robert appears in flashbacks and Paul
Webster is both very funny and touchingly poignant in his portrayal of a man who has lost his way. Fiona Battisby is excellent as the pragmatic, realistic, sister who has escaped, but cannot understand the joy of maths that her sister and father share. I felt a faint echo of the great Arthur
Miller in this well-crafted play. In the forth coming film, Gwynneth Paltrow will have her work cut out to be as good a Catherine
as Emma Pike. PIPPAMUNRO
