fol low ing a mysterious absence of several years, the Man of Steel comes back to earth in the epic action-adven­ ture “Superman Returns” - a soaring new chapter in the saga of one of the world’s most beloved superheroes. While big, bad, old enemy Lex Luthor


(played by Kevin Spacey) plots to render him powerless once and for all. Superman (brilliantly played by newcomer Bran­ don Routh) faces the heartbreaking real­ isation that the woman he loves, Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth) has moved on with her life. Although the tough super­ journalist now has a child. Superman’s bittersweet return challenges him to bridge the distance between them while finding a place in a society th a t has learned to survive without him. In an attempt to protect the world he


loves from cataclysmic destruction. Superman embarks on an epic journey of redemption th a t takes him from the


■ depths of the ocean to the far reaches of outer space. Nearly two decades after superstar Christopher Reeve and direc­ tor Richard Donner made audiences believe a man could fly, director Bryan


ers, from all realms of the per­ forming arts, have walked the Mechanics stage. The Burnley National Blues Festival has also helped to put the vibrant and bustling venue firmly on the map. Among the top acts lined up for


the new season is enigmatic folk musician Kate Rusby, who will be


DISH OF THE WEEK KATEKILGOUR’S


EXCELLENT RECIPE FOR OLD GROUSE


THE glorious 12th is


almost upon us, but I do realise this does not feature on the calendar of most people as they do not agree with shoot­ ing birds. However, the 150 year-old


tradition of shooting grouse is internationally recognised as one of the world’s most chal­ lenging countryside sports and people come to the moors of E n g ird from far and wide, injecting vital income into some of our most remote rural areas in the process. This income also helps fund


the management of grouse moors, with gamekeepers keeping predators under con­ trol and carrjdng out rotation­ al burning of the heather, in the process cpnserving the landKjape and providing a last safe haven for many threat­ ened bird species. Kate Kilgour’s family are


shooting tenants on one of the Rowland Moors and Kate says: “We can stomp around our moor all day in search of our quarry and are very happy to come back with a couple of brace per head and a rosy glow. “My granny came from

Singer, as he did with the first two hit X- Men films, brings an elegant, emotion- tinged touch to the super-heroic proceed­ ings. Confronted with a role as constrict­ ing as his famous suit, Brandon Routh can be applauded for the grace and quiet dignity he brings to the part. There is elegant direction from Bryan


Singer, state-of-the-art special effects and a winning performance from the latest Man of Steel. However, Brandon Routh will not make you forget Christopher Reeve. Indeed, the casting of the look-a­ like newcomer is clearly intended to evoke the iconic actor and the film is def­ initely one to watch. To win two tickets to see “Superman


Returns” at St Mary’s Centre, please answer the question on the coupon and send it in before the closing date.


Top acts lined up for another spectacular Mechanics season


appearing a t the Mechanics to perform an incarnation of her own compositions. Other musical highlights include Dr Feelgood, The Climax Blues Band, Dominic Kirwan, Gerry and the Pacemakers, The Meatloaf Story and The Kings of Swing. If comedy is your cup of tea.


then look no further, as stars including Alan Carr, Frank Side- bottom and Felix Dexter take to the Mechanics stage. For a free colour brochure of


the new season, or to book tick­ ets, call the Mechanics Ticket Office on 01282 664400. Website (www.burnlejrmechanics.co.uk).

WINE TALK with Vic Morris with MARCIA MORRIS


Cotherstone and this recipe was a regular on her table. She didn't believe in measuring anything and often substitut­ ed items for what was in the larder!” The Moorland Association


represents the owners of Eng­ land’s grouse moors - some 750,000 acres of rare and iconic heather landscapes - which look their most stun­ ning at this time of year. The red grouse - the pinnacle of local, seasonal produce - is a completely wild bird and only found in Britain, where its habitat is managed by gamekeepers. I t is a gourmet’s delight,


featuring seasonally on the menus of many top restau­ rants, who annually vie to be the first to bring this unique bird to the table in August. However, red grouse are


IT is always good to have a theme for a dinner party, both in the food and in the wine department. When hosting a dinner party I like to have a try something dif­ ferent and go for a Greek, Spanish or even Finnish theme. The most recent was a new wave Span­

only shot if there are enough on the moors to ensure a viable future population and in a poor breeding year for grouse like last year, grouse moor owners are investing a great deal for little return. To celebrate the start of


this year’s grouse shooting season. Moorland Associa­ tion members and their wives have opened their private recipe books to share some of


Devonshire’s grouse with rice and horseradish cream sauce to Sir Anthony Milbank’s special roast grouse and Ljmn Bostock’s pate, to ways to deal with older birds and the Cannon’s favourite accompaniments and Pip Vallance’s useful tips - those in the know are keen to demystify the preparation and enjoyment of one of England’s most delicious gamebirds.


Ingredients • Brace, of grouse trussed


• 3-4 oz butter • 1 onion • 4oz chestnut mushrooms • 1-2 stick of celery - diced • 2 carrots or half a small


turnip diced • 2 - 3 tablespoons of


whisky • lOfIoz of chicken stock • 1 tblsp of rcdcurrant or


rowan jelly


Method 1. Put oven on at gas mark 4


orl80°C. 2. Heat the butter and brown


grouse all over. Remove from pan and set aside. 3. Add chopped and diced veg to remaining butter and


cook until softened, but not browned. 4. Return grouse to pan and


add whisky. 5. Flame the spirit and when


the flames have disappeared add the chicken stock. 6. Bring up to heat and sim­


mer for about 1 and a quarter hours.


7. When cooked remove


grouse and using knifc/shcars cut each bird in half and set aside, but keep hot. 9. Strain the liquid into a


saucepan and boil - as it thick­ ens add rowan jelly and let it dissolve and then spoon over grouse and strained vegetables.


ish wine dinner selection. Spain has it all. A huge expansive country, with wine regions stretching from wet and windy north Atlantic to the balmy Mediter­ ranean coast in the south. The wine styles I found in Spain are a direct reflection of the diverse areas where they are grown, largely made from indigenous Spanish grape varieties and designed to comple­ ment the local cuisine. The face of Span­ ish wine has changed a t a remarkable pace in recent years, due probably to the vast amount of people who holiday in Spain or have second homes there. First, the perfect aperitif or accompa­


niment to seafood. ALTOZANO VERDE- JO, a thoroughly modern, characteristic


white wine which has intense gooseberry and greengage fruit aromas with hints of citrus (£4.49). For the main course, I chose a juicy,


jammy easy-going red DON ELIAS GIL GARNACHA (£4.99). This wine hails from Terra Alta, a tiny quality enclave next to the highy respected Priorat, now home to some of Spain’s finest wines, and carrying some of the highest price tags. This wine is made by the Gil family from grapes grown in vineyards dating back to the 1840s. The fruit is succulent, and rich­ ly juicy, with bursts of raspberry and cherry and gentle well-rounded tannins. A great all-rounder, which punches well above its weight, without being too hard on the wallet.
