month are from the Caves Alianca, this is one of Portugal’s largest pro­ ducers. Caves Alianca, based

DISH OF THE WEEK SPIDER’S WEB CAKES


INTRODUCE the children to cooking this half-term holiday by . helping you to make ghoulish treats for a Hallowe’en party on Monday. It is never too early to encourage them to take an inter­ est in food and learn to enjoy the basics of cooking. These spider’s web cakes are


lots of fun for small hands to help make (and eat) and are a deli­ cious Hallowe’en treats for par­


ties. Newspapers, magazines and


television are Ml of stories about what children should be eating rather than too much conven­ ience food, crisps and sweets. With this in mind Booth’s


Supermarket in Clitheroe, has introduced a new range of top- quality ready meals for children. The meals- called “Martha and Lawrence for Children” - are made by a small company in the Yorkshire Dales using the finest ingredients. The meals, which currently


comprise chicken breast in a tomato and smooth vegetable sauce, cheesy meatballs in a fresh chunky tomato sauce and mild chilli con came, were all taste tested by local children who gave them a massive thumbs up Andrew Hayes, from Martha


and Lawrence, explained how the meals came about: “My wife is Brown Owl for a local Brownie group. At their camp this year one of the mums, who is a food scientist, cooked all the meals. The children absolutely adored them - even the notoriously picky ones cleared their plates. “So we set about developing


the new meals to her recipes, and ones that have been passed down from her mother. We are using the finest ingredients possible. “We know th a t mothers are

looking for good quality, whol^ some and natural food for their children and frankly, in ready meals, there’s currently not much on the market.” Phil Godwin, Booths Fresh


Food Buyer said: “We’ve been looking for a children’s range for some time, but haven’t before been able to find anything suit­ able. The ‘Martha and Lawrence For Children’ range uses fresh produce from the local area which fits perfectly with the Booths ethos.”

People who worked there had increased the number of cars parked all day on the street from 8-30 a.m. This should be brought to the attention of the borough council, also pointing out that they had established a precedent.


Signs As there was no sign at the rail­ way station for the village cen­ tre, one should be requested from the county council, anoth­ er of those present pointed out. A councillor said he had been asked four times in a week for the public toilets. Once again there was still no sign.


Roads closed Station Road and Mitton Road would be closed in the evenings from November 21st to the 25th, from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. so that repairs to the railway bridge could be carried out. This work had been deferred because bats were there.
