World Leading Cookery School Sponsor the Great British Cookbook.

The Great British Cookbook is now in the latter stages of releasing their second book, which raises money for Macmillan Cancer Support and Hospitality Action, and are delighted to announce that Le Cordon Bleu London, leading culinary arts, wine and management school are sponsoring the cookbook.

Founded in Paris in 1895, Le Cordon Bleu has grown from a popular culinary magazine to one of the most prestigious global networks of culinary arts and hospitality management institutes.

In 2012, Le Cordon Bleu London moved from its base on Marylebone Lane to its new state-of-the-art premises, 15 Bloomsbury Square.

Offering a range of industry relevant cuisine, pâtisserie and wine Diplomas alongside a variety of engaging short courses taught by their team of high calibre Master Chefs, students are often considered to be synonymous with outstanding ability across the globe.

of the hundreds of students who graduate each year. With such a respected reputation, Le Cordon Bleu London also host a number of industry competitions from National Chef of The Year to Bocuse d’Or, which benefit from the professional facilities and equipment.

from such an iconic cookery school who have no doubt had so many chefs involved with the book come through their school. The book will certainly inspire people who want to be part of the hospitality industry and Le Cordon Bleu are a great organisation to provide the training.”

The Master Chefs at Le Cordon Bleu can often be found on the judging panel at culinary competitions, or sometimes actively competing in their own right.

This maintains the vital connection the school has to the industry, and opens a unique opportunity for students to witness first-hand the dedication and passion that chefs require to become and remain successful.

The Great British Cookbook will take you on an unforgettable journey through 200 of the UK’s most prestigious pubs, guest houses, hotels, AA Rosette and Michelin Star restaurants showcasing 200 of the UK’s finest chefs who have created 200 culinary masterpieces using locally sourced produce; for you to cook with your family and friends in your home. If all this wasn’t enough the cookbook is your very own road map of exceptional places to eat.

Although traditional French culinary techniques remain at the heart of Le Cordon Bleu, the school’s academic programmes continue to be pioneered as a response to consumer and industry demands, which as a result has seen the introduction of the Diploma in Culinary Management and the Diploma in Gastronomy, Nutrition and Food Trends within the last two years.

Chef Alan Swinson, Culinary Arts Director at Le Cordon Bleu London comments: “The book is supporting two very worthy causes and we are delighted to be sponsoring this collection of recipes from Britain’s best chefs. With the evolution and transformation of British food over the last two decades The Great British Cookbook brings together and demonstrates the culinary excellence we have to offer today.”

Le Cordon Bleu’s place in the industry plays an integral part in the success

I for one am pretty excited about it.

This is a real opportunity for families to play, have fun and enjoy good music together”.

Rebecca McGlone, one of the event organisers has said “Nottingham is home to some of the best musicians and artists in the world. We are such a family friendly city with so much to offer that it seems crazy we don’t already have a family festival here.

Walton & Allen Estate Agents bring 360° virtual reality to the Nottingham property market Window card brochures are already a thing of the past at Walton & Allen Estate Agents. That’s thanks to our new 46” touchscreen TVs which prospective buyers can interact with 24/7 from outside our flagship office in the centre of Nottingham’s Lace Market.

Now Walton & Allen Estate Agents are joining forces with Newtonmedia. tv to take property browsing to the next dimension with the introduction of incredible virtual reality viewings!

Joe Newton at Walton & Allen Estate Agents explains that, “Using our Walton & Allen app which links straight to our YouTube channel, clients can experience virtual reality viewings from anywhere in the world, using their smartphone or computer. Prospective buyers and tenants can now immerse themselves in any property Walton & Allen are marketing, looking at every angle of every room, gauging its true size, space and build quality – an impossible feat for still photos.”

Once again, Walton & Allen Estate Agents set the trend where other estate agents will soon follow, using

virtual reality technology to bring real benefits to homebuyers as Joe points out, “Viewing a property in the flesh is something that simply can’t be replaced, however, there are big benefits to using VR. Clients can use our in-house virtual reality station to view multiple properties, and save hours by narrowing down their search to those they actually want to commit to seeing”.

Since YouTube’s announcement in 2015 that they will now support virtual reality videos, the virtual reality world has grown massively. The property industry has had some people

dabbling with the idea of virtual reality tours, but certainly nothing on a large scale – not until now thanks to Walton & Allen Estate Agents.

Mark Batty, Director of Walton & Allen Estate Agents said that, “We’re extremely excited to set the trend for using virtual reality within the property industry. As a company who fully understands the power of attractive marketing, we’re very much looking forward to adding this new dimension to the property world.”

Ever So Sensible Restaurants Watson Fothergills, a historic Nottingham venue, offers a unique bistro-style fixed price menu using ingredients from local producers together with ales from local micro-breweries and a great selection of wines.

The building, built in 1883 and designed by Watson Fothergill, now features a more stripped-back and relaxed interior, displaying more of the site’s original features and architectural significance

A Jewel in Nottingham’s Crown MemSaab Restaurant is Nottingham’s premier Fine Dining Indian Restaurant. The 200 seater restaurant with its contemporary design and furnishing has been established since 2002. Owner, Amita Sawhney’s passion for perfection in terms of cuisine, hospitality and ambience has been rewarded by the recognition of many food bodies and food critics. Here, the myth of ‘Curry and Lager’ has been dispelled and Indian food is truly ‘Fine dining’. Amongst the traditional dishes that can be seen on the Menu, can be seen Steamed Monkfish, Tandoori Ostrich, Venison Infused Kebab and Pan Fried Seabass!

In March 2015, the supreme accolade was given by the AA - Two Rosettes for Culinary Excellence!

This is the first time such recognition has been given to an Indian Restaurant in the East Midlands.

MemSaab has been named the British Curry Awards 2014 Best Restaurant in the Midlands – nicknamed a ‘Curry Oscar’ by The Prime Minister, David Cameron! This is the first time in the Awards’ history, that it has been bestowed upon a restaurant in Nottingham.

The Observer Food Monthly Awards has named MemSaab as Best Restaurant Runner Up 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, alongside Nottingham’s only Michelin Star Chef, Sat Bains – great company to be with!

It’s no wonder that the restaurant’s Award Winning Chefs are often seen serving culinary delights for distinguished patrons of the restaurant. These include politicians, celebrities and eminent businessmen and women including the Australian Prime Minister, Chris Tarrant, Sir Ian Botham, Geoffrey Boycott OBE, Jayne Torville OBE, Christopher Dean OBE and Sir Cliff Richard!

MemSaab hosts many unique Events throughout the year including Champagne and Food Pairing Evenings (the only ones held in the Country), Wine and Food pairing Evenings, Charity evenings and a Diwali Festival Week serving Indian Street Food!

Twice Michelin Star Chef, Atul Kochhar from Benares, Mayfair, was the Guest of Honour at the last Charity Event. Atul performed live cooking, oversaw the menu and took time to do a book signing.

He helped Amita raise over £20,000 in one evening for some great causes: Great Ormond Street Hospital, Kenyan Chidren’s Centre and the Heart of Experian Charity Fund. The total raised by the restaurant over the years is in excess of £127,000!

The restaurant will be featuring in The Great British Cook Book this year with a Starter dish representing the East Midlands region with one of the two hundred dishes from across the country from some of the finest chefs and eateries of Great Britain Look out for their popup restaurant at one of our food shows.

Chef Tom Kerridge has gained himself a name as a West Country traditionalist with a passion for pub grub. “Appearing on The Great British Menu, the thing I was proudest of is that I came across as me,” Kerridge says.

“There were no airs and graces, no pretence and I’ve kept up that mantra since.”

True to form, the chef cuts a friendly, approachable figure through our chat.

Kerridge was just 18 when he entered the kitchen as a commis chef at Calcot Manor in Tetbury. Moving to London in his early 20s, Kerridge honed his skills at restaurants including Odettes, Rhodes in The Square, Stephen Bull and The Capital.

He’s worked with all the big names in the culinary world, and credits “being in the kitchen” as paramount to his education.

Today, Kerridge’s recipes, from his lasagne to his pie to his beef brisket (“with a lovely barbeque sauce”), reflect his passion for upmarket comfort food.

Kerridge became head chef at Adlards in Norwich and senior sous chef at Monsieur Max in Hampton before opening his own gastro pub, The Hand and Flowers, in 2005, gaining a Michelin star just a year in. Nearly a decade on – and another Michelin star later - Kerridge has become a familiar face on our telly screens.

A Saturday Kitchen regular, the chef calls his double Michelin starred gastro pub his “biggest achievement.” The Gloucestershire-raised chef is all about “big, strong and robust” flavours, and calls “love” the key ingredient to any dish.

“If it’s created with love then when you eat it you’ll feel the soul that went into it - that’s the thing that makes it comforting.”

With his food pleasing to the eye without being overly fussy, Kerridge is quick to champion the ‘pub grub’ movement currently taking over the UK, paying lip service to the quintessentially British phenomenon.

“There’s about 15 chefs now in pubs with Michelin stars, and that’s a wonderful place to be in,” he says. “It’s a great advert for British food across the world.” Kerridge adds, “There are great pubs doing great food that haven’t got Michelin stars too, and their understanding of food is just fantastic.”

His series Tom Kerridge’s Best Ever Dishes is returning to our screens – “It’s a continuation of the proper pub food that was such a success last year. I enjoyed working with everyone from the camera men to the director” – and Kerridge alerts us to his cardinal kitchen rule.

“Never cook something that you wouldn’t want to eat,” he says, sternly. For this chef, total enjoyment is paramount. “It’s alright to cook something you’ve never cooked before, and to experiment, but make sure it’s something you want to try.

That love will defiantly come across in whatever you cook.” this autumn.

Tom Kerridge’s is currently presenting Bake-Off: Crème de le Crème

Handmade drinks from the heart of the countryside Belvoir Fruit Farms nestles deep in the English countryside in the idyllic Vale of Belvoir, where they’ve been making fruit cordials and presses since 1984, pressing fresh fruit and infusing flowers to mix with spring water.

Renowned for their elderflower drinks, they still use the same elderflower recipe developed by cofounder Mary Manners all those years ago. Originally, all the elderflowers were handpicked from bushes growing around Lord and Lady John Manners’ garden.

The whole family helped to make the first batch of elderflower cordial, chopping the lemons and stirring the syrup. Lord John then popped the 88 cases of drinks into the back of his car and went round local farm shops, persuading the owners to buy a bottle here and there.

Today, demand is so high that Belvoir calls on the local community to help with the harvest, picking flowers from their own 90 acres of orchards and from hedgerows in the surrounding countryside.

To achieve the unique taste of Belvoir’s elderflower products, it’s essential to use nothing but fresh flowers.

Peverel Manners, Lord John’s son, says: “The secret of a really good elderflower cordial is to use masses of flowers that have been picked in the sunshine when they’re warm and heavy with yellow pollen, then get them into the vat within three hours. This gives the drink its delicate floral taste.”

Over the years, the company has expanded its beverage range to include a wide range of flavours and the brand now produces more than 40 products, many of which have won multiple awards. All will be available to sample and buy at this summer’s Great Food & Drink Festivals at Nottingham Castle in May and at Calke Abbey in September; it will be lovely to see you there…

Our Family run Company is now in its 4th year and has gone from strength to strength as each season has gone by. It was formally known as The Routemaster Bus Bar Company and It all started back in 2011 with the purchase of our first Routemaster bus. The idea of running mobile bars arose from our love of beer and the need to promote the also family run microbrewery, based in Shardlow Derbyshire.

Shardlow Brewery have been producing good quality real ales for the past 15 years.

and an interesting conversation feature.

Wherever we go with the Buses everyone loves them and we take great satisfaction in maintaining this fine Vintage vehicle. But also pulling it into the 21st Century, so this British icon can be enjoyed for years to come.

Our Routemaster proved to be a winner at events and soon one just wasn't enough, so we decided to buy another of its kind in time for the second season.

However we took ideas from our other bus and knew ways to improve it after working on it for a full season.

The conversion has been done to a very high standard and retains as much of its original features where possible. You just need to come aboard our buses and see for yourself!

The Buses offer great facilities, on the lower deck we have a fully licensed mass serving bar, and on the upper deck there is an open top hospitality area where you can kick back in comfort and enjoy a drink or two and socialise the day away.

Fynburys Rutland Cider Fynburys Rutland Cider began life just a few short years ago when head cider maker and director Mike Berry purchased a property in Thistleton. Mike has lived his whole life in Rutland and it was on moving to his new house within the county that he first started cider production. The garden had a small apple orchard, and in the autumn of that year Mike had so many apples that he had to find something to do with them. It didn’t take long for the idea to dawn, and Mike gathered together some of his Rutland friends.

Between them, they built an apple press from a car jack and some reclaimed oak. The apples were pounded in a bucket using a fence post (!) and then pressed. Around 200 litres of the first Fynburys Rutland Cider was produced, being left to ferment naturally in buckets.

As you might imagine, a party or two was held, and everyone agreed that the first Rutland Cider had a distinct and unique flavour.

The History Of Fynburys Rutland Cider In 2010, Mike built a home-made scratter, which is a machine for pulping the apples. This avoided the need for pounding the apples in a bucket, which was a rather time-consuming job that also makes your arms ache. What had started as a bit of fun, and a way to use up excess apples, had already become a small cottage industry.

Mike began to source more apples from around Rutland. This involved finding the right trees, placing a sheet on the ground, climbing up the tree, and shaking it to knock the apples down.

Ashby Aromatherapy Ashby Aromatherapy specialises in the blending of high quality aromatherapy products suitable for all. Each product has been designed to help suite individual needs like stress, anxiety, and dry skin, sleeping problems, arthritis and much more. My business philosophy is to place the clients’ needs centre stage and to allow the quality of my products to speak for themselves.

In 2013 I set up my business with an emphasis on massage.

During this time, I have expanded the range of products and services including opening an online store, running various pop-up market stalls, and now expanding into retail. In 2013/2014 I explored alternative remedies relating to stress, anxiety and insomnia, which I personally experienced when I was involved in a road traffic accident in 2011. I successfully completed a business degree at Nottingham Trent University and courses in massage and aromatherapy and I believe that quality products and good service sell very well.

I am the ‘hands on’ part of the business, utilising my knowledge of massage to treat clients, and using my experience to create and produce effective products that appeal to customers and clients alike. The quality

of my products is my paramount consideration ensuring I use carefully sourced natural ingredients from local suppliers.

Himalayan Natural Salt Rocks Salt crystals are made from natural salt from an ancient sea which was squeezed out of existence by moving continents hundreds of millions of years ago and now lies buried in the foothills of Himalayas. The salt has been mined for hundreds of years and is believed to have first been discovered by Alexander the Great in 320 BV, when his horses stopped to lick it.

Salt crystals are natural ion generators, emitting negative ions into the atmosphere. Keeping a rock salt lamp in areas where positive ions are polluting your air space will help neutralise the air you breathe.

Balancing positive and negative ions and help reduce airborne infections.

How do Himalayan Salt Rocks Work?

The heat from a lighted salt lamp attracts moisture. The evaporation of water through salt releases negative ions. The negative ions a salt lamp or salt candleholder can release will depend on how warm the candle or light bulb makes it

Benefits of Emitting Negative Ions into Your Living Space: • Increases chi • Eliminates allergens • Reduces effects of sadness • Supports the immune system • Boosts serotonin levels • Improves mental alertness • Help with Sleep • Help with Stress and Anxiety When you have chosen your Himalayan salt rock that has drawn your attention, from your first initial glance, you can expect to feel happier from the warm ambient glow of a salt rock as it creates a calm, peaceful atmosphere that promotes relaxation.

All About Tourism to Donate 50p of each ticket to Macmillan Cancer Support All About Tourism, who are the event organisers of The Great Food and Drink Festivals which are set to take place all over the East Midlands, are using their shows to help raise crucial funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.

The company have decided to give 50p of each ticket sale to Macmillan Cancer Support, in a bid to raise in excess of £20,000. The Great Food and Drink Festivals have been known to attract crowds of over 10,000 people per show and now with more shows this year than ever before, that could mean a lot of money being raised.

Andy Whyles, Event Organiser has stated “The Great Food and Drink Festivals are set to take place all over the East Midlands and with the events getting bigger and reaching a wider audience, it felt like the perfect time to help out such a fantastic charity that does so much for other people in return” Rachel Herrick Area Fundraising Manager in the East Mids says “We are absolutely delighted that the company have decided to support Macmillan in this way. Today there are 2.5 million people living with cancer in the UK. By 2030 it will be 4 million and in five years nearly half of the UK

population will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. We want to make sure everyone gets the support they need. That’s why Macmillan is leading the way in transforming cancer care by piloting new services and developing existing ones. But in order to do this we need the support of companies like All About Tourism to help raise the vital funds to support our work.”

With the minimum expectation of 10,000 attendees at each of these four events, that means a £20,000 target being raised for Macmillan Cancer Support is definitely an achievable feat. Between £15,000 and £20,000 could pay for a fullykitted Macmillan Information Space, including build costs, IT equipment, furniture and décor. The Space is a partitioned and furnished area within a larger area where information and support can be given to people affected by cancer. £13,963 could pay for a Macmillan social worker or family support worker for six months. They work with community and social services agencies to help people manage the social and practical problems of living with cancer.

When you have cancer, you don’t

just worry about what will happen to your body, you worry about what will happen to your life. At Macmillan, we know how a cancer diagnosis can affect everything and we’re here to support you through.

From help with money worries and advice about work, to someone who’ll listen if you just want to talk, we’ll be there. We are millions of supporters, professionals, volunteers, campaigners and people affected by cancer. Together we make sure there’s always someone here for you, to give you the support, energy and inspiration you need to help you feel like yourself again.

The money raised can go a long way.

Ensuring there is someone there, giving support, energy and inspiration to help people affected by cancer feel like themselves again.

I LOVE OSTRICH The healthiest meat in the world

46

The Company The Ostrich I Love Ostrich is heading into its 6th season and in that time it has built up a very healthy and loyal customer base. We spend our summer months showcasing at all the major music events throughout the UK and Ireland. I Love Ostrich was voted best food at the 2010 Electric Picnic, Ireland’s biggest festival, receiving a 5 Star rating by the Irish Times. I Love Ostrich is extremely proud to announce that they were nominated for the “Best Concessions” at the 2012 UK Festival Awards.

During the winter months we spend our time spreading festive cheers amongst Christmas shoppers at some of the UK’s largest Christmas markets, including the South Bank, London, Birmingham’s German Market, Canterbury and Liverpool to name but a few...

Harvest Festival 2011 hosted by Alex James of Blur, I Love Ostrich served some of their famous burgers to some famous customers including the PM David Cameron and Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson, both of whom commented on how tasty the food was, with the Prime Minister claiming “it’s the best burger I have had in years”.

We at I Love Ostrich are very proud of our product and wish to share our passion with the good people of Great Britain, whether it be Ostrich Burgers, Ostrich Meatballs, Ostrich Sausage, steaks, mince, the list goes on, we can also supply great recipes.

The Product Ostrich meat is regarded as the healthiest meat in the world, due to its extremely low fat content and very high levels of protein and Iron.

Ostrich meat is a “red meat” very similar in texture and taste to beef.

However, it far lower in fat grams per serving than Chicken, Turkey and much lower in cholesterol than beef.

Most of all the meat from Ostrich comes from the Leg, Back or Thigh.

Even though the Ostrich meat tastes similar to beef, the meat does not contain the same marbling which is found in beef. The fat collects on the outside of the muscle, so is easily removed during processing. Therefore, cuts of Ostrich meat are extremely lean and very low in fat content.

Ostriches are extremely versatile birds that can adapt and acclimatise to most environments. The Ostrich is farmed all over the world ranging from South Africa to Alaska. Ostrich is farmed for many reasons, its meat, eggs, leather and feathers which are highly desirable in the fashion world. The Ostrich farms are also a very popular visitor attraction. Many places in Africa use the egg shells for transporting water, it is claimed fully grown man can stand on an Ostrich egg without it breaking.

Summary We live in a world where we are becoming more health conscious, whether it be visiting the Gym or watching what we eat. Ostrich is the perfect healthy alternative to other meats. It also becomes a great talking point at any social gathering, dinner parties, Barbeques or Festivals.

The Ostrich sourced by ourselves are free range birds. Their diet mainly consists of plant matter, fruit and shrubs.

The Menu Gourmet Ostrich Burger served with a choice of:Colston Basset Stilton Mayonnaise with wild Rocket Sweet Chilli and Garlic Mayonnaise with wild Rocket Our Famous Jack Daniel’s Onions Crumbled farmhouse Cheddar and wild Spring Onion Honey chilli streaky Bacon and leaves Beef Tomato, Mozzarella and cracked black Pepper

Ostrich Meatballs served with:Rich Tomato and Chilli Sauce containing Chopped Garlic, Piquant’e Peppers and seasoned Spanish Onion Warmed French bread and leaves.
