there are Lancastrian recipes! : There’s been a revolution within the old boundaries of Lancashire. A quiet, Wel
lcome one, but a revolution nevertheless. After decades of neglect,
when the wholesome was ignored in favour of the in s tan t, when everyone
looked outwards and missed what was under their noses, the people of the red rose county have rediscovered their food heritage.; ; Passionate Lancastrian
foodie Malcolm,Grenhalgh couldn’t be more pleased. In “Flavours of Lancashire” he waxes lyrical about tradi tio n a l fare, champions
today’s local producr ers, and takes us back into our culinary past. There are entertain
ing food stories, sur prising historical facts and hearty recipes, aU presented in Mal colm’s warm, no non sense, lively style. Beautiful photo
graphs and drawings illustrate the book and interesting or amusing nuggets of informa tion are pulled b u t from the main text. Priced at £10, this is
truly a book for lovers of good food, a delight for all the legions of us who get extra pleasure from what we are eat ing when we know it is a real flavour of Lan cashire. The recipes range

nargh cakes thrown in. This is an old Lancashire
favourite for pea and ham soup.
Method 1. Soak one pound of
dried peas in plenty of cold water overnight. 2. Take either a ham
shank or some bacon ribs and if they are thought to be excessively salty, soak them in water overnight. 3. Boil the ham shank or
bacon ribs in water until the meat is very tender. Remove the shank or. ribs, but retain
the stock. 4. Take all the meat from
the bones and chop it into tiny bits. 5. Pu t the soaked peas
into the stock, bring to the boil and simmer for about one hour. 6. Then add the meat and
a couple of finely chopped carrots. Bring back to the boil and simmer until the ■ peas are mushy. • Some people put in
some suet dumplings for the last 20-30 minutes to add ■bulk to the soup.

Chile wine is real hot stuff
V
ONE of the largest Chilean wineries, Con cha y Toro, can trace its name back to 1718 when the then King of Spain gave the title of Marques de Casa Concha to one of his
Chilean subjects. One of their descendants, Don Melchor
de Concha y Toro founded the current company, was married to a lady of French extraction and also owned a ■vineyard. In the intermittent years the company grew and grew until by 1969 it boasted to pro duce about a third of all Chilean wine exports. (About one 20th of the total annu al production). It now has over 3,500 hectares of vines
under cultiva tion in over 10 prime loca tions stretch ing from Casablanca in the North to Lourdes, West of Talca in the South. With over eight vini fication cen tres, current production is over 10 million cases a year and rising. All this does not mean poorer quality, on

the contrary at any price level from £4.99 to over £40 the wines are all good examples of their kind, technically well made and fruit driven. A new range PALO ALTO is an exciting
vision of the future, launched at this year’s Trade Fair in London in May. This wine combines old world and new in
a fusion of three grape varieties, 65% cabernet sauvignon, 25% carmenere and 10% S3Tah, all sourced from different loca tions. Aged for about seven months in French and American oak this is a chunky very -vi-vid fruity style of wine with a densi ty of flavours not often found at the price of £6.99, from Booths, but not included on the deal below. Even better is the VINA MAIPO Gran

Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2005. With fruit sourced from the Central Valley, this combines the pure creme de cassis of the blackcurranty aromas, elegant, concen trated and with a chocolaty finish. If you like this it is on offer as a “buy one get one free” at £7.99 a bottle at Booths Super market, but combine this with a bottle of their VINA MAIPO Gran Reserva Chardonnay 2006, and Christmas is in the bag.
The Chardonnay has tropical fruits and
pineapple, but with crunchy green apples for some lively acidity and a touch of vanil la from the oak ageing. Again at the same offer price and if you bought now then Christmas lunch wines could all be sorted, no-problem.
