A VERY MERRY BOOTHS CHRISTMAS The Booths family have been making Christmas magical for over 170 years.
Christmas is a time for family and while Edwin Booth may have a small immediate family, his extended family numbers in the thousands. That’s how many people are members of the Booths family. Colleagues with 30 years’ loyal service and suppliers in their third generation; such as Dewlay Cheesemakers who make Garstang Blue, a Christmas cheeseboard must.
celebration. It will mean new traditions forged and old ones kept. “We do the sor ts of things we’ve always done, play terrible card and board games. We make a huge mess of our sitting room on Christmas Day and it remains a mess all day. We’ve always done that. It’s full of wrapping paper and boxes and everything. That’s tradition in our house.”
Each and every one of them is an essential ingredient in making Booths Christmas magical as they have done for 170 years. “I think it stems from the family absolutely adoring food and drink. We love eating and we enjoy sharing with friends” says Edwin Booth.
There will be turkey on Christmas Day which Edwin says they will “then wrestle with for the next few days” alongside lovely wines that have been set aside, waiting for this special occasion. Bottles will be opened and glasses lifted with a toast from everyone at the Booths family to everyone at yours.
He’s all too aware how impor tant Christmas is to customers and that Booths has to get it just right. “We used to say that if people love us at Christmas, the chances are, they’ll continue to love us throughout the year.” This means making sure that all the essentials are ready and waiting, from the Ridgeview fizz you’ll pop open on Christmas morning to the Booths range of flaky pies and sausage rolls so hunger is well and truly held at bay on Boxing Day. It’s also about surprising you and your family - small or large - with unexpected treats so every moment and mouthful is sweet. “Providing that excitement to customers, that desire to come and visit our stores is a very impor tant thing,” he says. Working with a team of experienced colleagues who are passionate about what they do is an essential ingredient and while much has changed since Booths opened in 1847, that’s something that hasn’t. “I think the common strand is something which we have always called the human touch and I think we are quite human in the way we interact with each other as colleagues.” For Edwin Booth, Christmas will mean that his two daughters are at home, which is always a cause for
WHAT EDWIN'S HAVING You may have heard on the grapevine that Edwin Booth spent several years as a wine buyer for the business and it’s something he holds a great passion for to this day. These are some of his favourite picks that you can order for yourself or a friend this Christmas.
THE CHAIRMAN'S SELECTION This curated hamper includes Bottega Vinai Gewurztraminer Trentino 2015, which is ideal to enjoy with curried left-over Turkey. Yalumba Viognier South Australia 2015, a wor thy contender to par tner a rich Christmas lunch menu. Chateauneuf du Pape Domaine La Boutiniere Boutin Gilbert 2014, where the vineyard has been owned by the same family since 1920 and the vines average 70 years old. Crozes Hermitage Les Meysonniers M Chapoutier 2015, a true nor thern Rhône classic. To treat yourself, see page 158

INGREDIENTS
Why not make... SCALLOPS, AIR-DRIED HAM AND WILD MUSHROOMS An elegant starter that will be sure to impress all guests.
12 scallops 1 pack of kale 300ml chicken stock 4 slices air-dried ham 1 pack exotic/wild mushrooms 15g pumpkin seeds Sea salt and pepper Olive oil Butter
METHOD 1. Preheat the oven to 180oC fan/200oC/gas 6. Spread the kale over a baking tray, drizzle with a little olive oil and season with sea salt. Place in the oven/grill until the edges of the kale star t to darken. Remove from oven and put to one side. 2. Prep the mushrooms so they are ready for cooking, slicing the larger ones. Toast the pumpkin seeds in a hot pan until slightly browned. 3. Place the chicken stock on the hob and reduce by half (TRUEfoods stocks are perfect for this). Pan-fry the mushrooms in oil and a knob of butter over a medium heat so they get a little colour. Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Add another knob of butter to the simmering stock in order to emulsify the butter and stock into a sauce consistency. Check the seasoning and remove from the heat. 4. Season the scallops with salt and a tiny bit of pepper. On a medium-high heat pan-fry scallops for 2-3 minutes on the flattest side with a little oil until nicely browned. Turn the scallops and reduce the heat to low, add a knob of butter and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve with air-dried ham, kale, mushrooms and sauce.

Of course, the hard work has been done by a select group of farmers who carefully rear the most superior birds for Booths. All that is left for you to do is make a grand entrance holding the turkey with pride.

PREPARATION IS KEY Christmas arrives early for Booths Fresh Meat and Fish buyer David Simons.
By March, David is already thinking about the boned and rolled sirloin we’ll treat ourselves to on Christmas Eve, the succulent Booths Bronze turkey reared by Paul Kelly that will grace our table on the big day, as well as the French trim rack of venison we’ll tuck into as we get ready to ring in the New Year. For David, Christmas comes with the responsibility of upholding the exceptionally high standards people expect from Booths. “You’re very conscious that there have been generations of meat buyers before you who’ve delivered a great Christmas and it’s incumbent on you to continue that.” Maintaining those standards means knowing his suppliers well, visiting their farms and keeping the supply chain as shor t as possible. There are ethical benefits as well as lots of other positives from working with local suppliers like family-run farm Johnson and Swarbrick, pictured opposite. While customers can count on Booths classics at Christmas, David is constantly on the lookout for something new and different like Forman’s taster pack of salmon and their traditional eels. For the time pressed and stressed, he suggests, “Buy a stuffed bird or crown, so there is one less thing to worry about and it saves space in the oven too.” To make a splash, he says, “Cook two different types of meat. This not only gives theatre but caters for different tastes.” And he swears by a meat thermometer to ensure meat is cooked perfectly. “I’ve found this a really useful gadget.”
(page 48) with garnishes including smoked maple and apple sausages, and a Booths prepared veg box (page 69) and desser t will make enter taining stress free. But he won’t be putting up his feet for long. Soon it’s back to work, because for David, Christmas is always right around the corner.
HOW BIG SHOULD MY TURKEY BE? As a rule of thumb, you should buy for up to 500g of turkey weight per person - so if you’ve got six people for Christmas, you need a 3kg bird - more, of course, if you want plenty of leftovers. Just make sure it will fit in your oven!
WHICH TURKEY IS FOR ME? Our bronze turkeys are game-hung for an old-fashioned, intense flavour, whereas our farmassured white turkeys deliver plenty of pearly white breast meat and consistent flavour. Organic free-range turkeys, are tasty, slow-growing, and reared to stringent standards and our new Goosnargh turkeys really are from just down the road. If you want a turkey that’s easy to cook and carve, or you’re having a smaller feast, you could opt for a crown or joint instead of a whole bird. We provide a huge range, so what you choose is down to your budget and your personal preference.
With his busy role at Booths and as the father of three young children, Christmas is a hectic time. For a relaxing celebration, he’s planning on Booths free range eggs with strong smoked salmon for breakfast. For the main meal, he’ll serve up a Cockerel cushion 35

CHRISTMAS DINNER MEAT Dry-ageing meat is a skill that requires time, patience and scrupulous attention. The meat is hung in temperature-controlled rooms and closely monitored to ensure the water evaporates slowly. It’s a process that can’t be rushed. After 35 days, the meat is meltingly tender and full of flavour. All of our beef, lamb, and pork is ethically reared and carefully butchered so whatever you choose to serve at your Christmas table will be the very best, from us to you. 21 DAY DRY-AGED BONE-IN FORERIB (072) Weight 2 - 2.49 kg Serves 5 to 6

THE BOOTHS TEAM MAKES THE CUT There is a sign hanging on the wall at the Booths butchery in Preston that reads, “If you wouldn’t buy it, don’t expect our customers to buy it.” For Nigel Cokell, Booths Head of Manufacturing, that says it all. He’s worked at Booths for over 17 years and takes those words seriously. “We’ve got a very nice, tight team who absolutely understand that the customer is at the hear t of everything we do. It’s massively impor tant that we get it right. We cut and pack all our own meat. We make all our own sausages and beef burgers.” Nigel feels the responsibility even more at Christmas because it’s a rare time when the whole family gathers together. “You get Christmas wrong for the customer and they’ll never forgive you!”
56
Nigel sources as much meat as he can locally, including most of our beef and lamb. He also makes sure there is plenty of choice for customers at Christmas. “Not everyone likes turkey. Not everyone likes beef. Some people do a medley of pork, beef and turkey. We also do some Herdwick mutton at Christmas, which is rather different.” For Nigel, born and bred in the Yorkshire Dales, there’s no doubt what will be on his table this Christmas. “I am very traditional. My Christmas dinner would be dry aged sirloin of beef and a nice turkey crown.” But come Boxing Day you’ll find him and his team back at Booths, preparing for the New Year’s rush and making sure his customers are happy no matter what day of the year. Ben, Geoff and Nigel at our Poulton store.

TRULY GREAT FOOD BY TRUEFOODS Andrew ‘Mitch’ Mitchell of Yorkshire-based TRUEfoods doesn’t believe in compromise. Take TRUEfoods stocks, they have an incomparable depth of flavour and are the foundation for the lush gravies he crafts for Booths. They star t with pure ingredients: British-sourced bones, filtered spring water and UK grown vegetables. But as impor tant as what is in them is what is not: no additives, stabilisers, flavour enhancers or colours. “It has to be 100% true and natural,” he says. It all goes back to his early days as a chef and his training. “When I was a young chef in a kitchen, and a chef told me to put the stock on, he would never tell me to go to the dry stores for malted extract or yeast extract. So I’m not putting that in mine.”
Everything that comes out of his kitchens must meet his exacting standards - standards he honed in some of the top kitchens in the world, including three years cooking for the King and Queen of Jordan. He met them when they were guests at a hotel in Scotland where he worked. “The Queen would ask for my bread recipe or my pasta recipe. One day I got a call, ‘Would you like to be their chef?’ ” Today TRUEfoods supplies some of the leading restaurants in the world that combined boast over 50 Michelin stars. “As a young chef it was, all about the food and the same remains true now.” Mitch and Aled at TRUEfoods, Yorkshire.

INGREDIENTS
Stages 1, 2 and 3 can be done in advance to save time. Cover and store in your fridge until required.

1. For the stuffing, create breadcrumbs by placing the sourdough bread in a food processor. Add the pistachios and pulse to break them up. Add the eggs and salt, blend to bring together, add the veg stock gradually to ensure the mix doesn’t get too wet. Remove from the bowl and fold in the cheese and figs taking care to leave chunks of cheese. 2. To create the cooking liquor, on a medium heat sweat the sliced shallot in the olive oil in a large saucepan, don’t let it colour. Add the five spice, garlic, thyme and bay leaf and continue to sweat for 1 minute. Add the honey, white wine vinegar and the water and bring to the boil. Add the purple beetroot and cook for 30 minutes or until the beetroot is almost cooked. Allow the liquor to cool with the beetroot in it. For best flavour allow to marinade overnight in the fridge. 3. To prepare the golden beetroot preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Wash the golden beetroot and place on a foil lined baking tray with 2 crushed garlic cloves and a sprig of thyme. Season with salt. Cover with foil to make an envelope. Bake for 3040 minutes or until the beetroot is softening and almost cooked, then peel it.

4. To build and cook the Wellington, preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Lay the sheet of puff pastry out. Spread the stuffing out evenly on the sheet leaving a 2cm border around the edges. Scatter the spinach evenly over the stuffing. Place the beetroot in a line along the sheet and fold the pastry over to cover. Press the pastry together to form a seal. Brush with egg wash.

THE CHERRY ON TOP AT LATHAMS Lathams mission is to bake “something that you make room for even though you don’t have any room.”
A lot has changed in the past for ty years but thankfully, when it comes to Lathams cakes, a lot hasn’t. Today, the Lancashire-based bakery makes cakes just the way Mrs Latham made them for her own family. “Lathams is based on the fact that the ingredients are just like you’d use at home,” says her daughter Catherine, who works at Lathams with her brother Richard, who now run the business. “We don’t use anything ar tificial. We still use the local farmers for the milk, the cream and the eggs. We still crack eggs by hand, which I don’t think many bakers do.“ The result is handmade in the best sense of the word. “Our cakes might not be perfect to look at. There might be a bit of buttercream coming out here or fresh cream oozing out there, but people can really see that it’s not come off the production line. They know that it’s been handmade and I think that’s the beauty of it.” “I think when businesses grow, they do resor t to ready-made mixes and things. We’ve just never done that.” says Catherine. She credits the staff – some of whom have worked at Lathams for twenty years – with keeping this vision strong and maintaining the standards that Mrs Latham set.
fill each one with freshly whipped cream and make our own chocolate fudge icing to pour over. They fly out.” Catherine says Lathams mission is to bake “something that you make room for even though you don’t have any room.” That’s another thing that hasn’t changed since Mrs Latham baked for her own family. So while Lathams has grown, they still do things the way they always have and that won’t change. As Catherine says, “We still make small batches we just make a lot more of them.”
WHAT WE’RE HAVING Here at Booths we just love tasting these delicious desser ts by Lathams. So what do we recommend this year? Carla Mills, who is lucky enough to select which creamy frozen cakes we bring to you year round, says, “It’s hard to choose. The new banoffee roulade is impressive and very good value but the boozy desser ts are a firm favourite of our customers. Personally though, I always go back to a trusty cheesecake. Lathams just create flavours and textures that you won’t experience in other retailers.”
Now 88 years old, Mrs Latham is still active in the business and likes to pop round to the bakery with her husband. She knows all of the staff by name and loves to stop and have a little chat. For Christmas the Lathams range baked for Booths includes a tempting cheesecake selection as well as their ever popular profiteroles. “Everybody knows profiteroles but we actually make our choux pastry ourselves from scratch using all fresh ingredients.

Why not make... POMEGRANATE AND CLEMENTINE PAVLOVA A festive pavlova with a citrusy twist that makes a sensational centrepiece that your guests won’t be able to resist.
METHOD 1. Zest, peel and segment 9 clementines. Squeeze the juice out of the last clementine and save for step 2. Bring 100g sugar to a light caramel, add the rum and cook off the alcohol. 2. Add the juice and zest from the clementines and the coriander seeds then reduce down to a thick syrup. Place the clementine segments in a Kilner jar (or something similar) and pour over the warm syrup. Once cooled place in the fridge. This can be done a day or two in advance.
7. Whip the cream with the sugar and syrup made earlier until it forms stiff peaks. Build up the pavlova adding the cream, pomegranate, clementine segments and pistachios between each layer.
INGREDIENTS 200g egg whites, should be 6 large eggs 250g sugar Small bag pistachios
3. Use a food processor or hand chop all of the pistachios, they don’t need to be all the same size. Separate out 50g for the meringue and keep the rest for garnishing.
120g pomegranate garnish
4. On three sheets of baking paper trace around a cake tin (we used an 8 inch tin). Line three baking trays with the paper so that the trace is on the underside of the paper. Whisk the egg whites slowly for two minutes then at high speed until they star t to form soft peaks. Add the sugar slowly, a tablespoon at a time. Continue to whisk until the whites feel smooth when rubbed between fingers. Gently fold in the pistachios.
1tsp coriander seeds
10 clementines 100g sugar 100ml spiced rum 550ml cream 65g sugar Serves 6 to 8
5. Use a little of the meringue to stick the paper to the trays. Spread the meringue evenly over the three trays. Make two of them fairly flat on top but with the third make some peaks and interesting shapes as this will be the lid. 6. Bake at 90oC fan / 110oC / ¼ gas for 2 hours or until the meringue star ts to set and is easy to lift off the paper. Once cooked, turn off the heat and allow to cool in the oven with the door closed, this helps prevent the meringue from cracking. 105

LISA AND HER GINGER BAKERS Nestled in the Lake District you’ll find the wonderful Ginger Bakers and Lisa Smith, ‘head ginger’.
Lisa and her team of seven, bake goodies for Booths all year round and at this time of year, spoil us with specialist Christmas cakes including her Damson Brandy Fruit Cake made with local Lyth Valley damsons. Everything is made with fresh ingredients, locally sourced whenever possible and they only use free range eggs.
Lisa star ted Ginger Bakers eleven years ago out of her home kitchen, selling to local farmers markets and food festivals. Her business was going strong until Storm Desmond struck in 2015, destroying her bakery and all her stock in the run up to Christmas. She star ted over, built a new bakery and is now doing better than ever.
But there is something else in her cakes - a bit of extra love that Lisa likens to the feeling you get from a cosy blanket, a love poem or a hear t-felt thank you. “I really enjoy making something great for someone to eat and seeing their pleasure and the gratitude that you’ve done something like that for them,” she says.
“From the beginning baking cakes in my kitchen to now having a business that employs people and supplies someone like Booths, we can stand proudly. I’m so happy with the products that we make, very, very happy.” Julie Bland, Lisa Smith and Rafal Marciniak at Ginger Bakers, Kendal.

INGREDIENTS
Why not make...
50g flour
BOOTHS COUNTRY FOUR CHEESE SOUFFLÉ
300ml milk
A tasty treat that’s simple to make, using cheese sourced from some of our favourite suppliers who are based in the four Booths counties. We love to serve it with a fresh salad containing British pears.
50g butter 1 bay leaf 1 clove garlic, crushed 4 eggs, separated Breadcrumbs and butter to line the soufflé dishes 75g Wensleydale cheese, break into chunks 50g Appleby’s cheese, break into chunks 50g Kidder ton Ash cheese, break into chunks 75g Blacksticks Blue cheese, break into chunks
METHOD 1. Take 4-6 soufflé dishes (depending on size) line them with butter then breadcrumbs and tap upside down to remove excess crumbs. Pre-heat the oven to 200oC / 180oC fan / gas 6. Gently warm the milk, bay leaf and garlic in a saucepan. 2. While the milk is warming, over a low heat melt the butter in a saucepan. Once melted add the flour and cook for 2 minutes to form a roux. 3. Add the warm milk to the roux slowly while whisking to make a smooth béchamel sauce. Remove from the heat and add the cheese into the pan, leaving a couple of chunks for later. If you want, add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the mi for a little e tra flavour. 4. Once the mix has cooled to almost room temperature add the egg yolks. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites to form firm peaks. Fold in a third of the whites to the cheese, then add the rest of the whites. Split the mix equally in the soufflé dishes, cook for 12 minutes and serve immediately.

RAISE A GLASS TO RIDGEVIEW In 1995, Mike and Chris Rober ts had a dream. They wanted to grow grapes in Sussex and make a sparkling wine that could rival champagne. Impossible? Fifteen years later Ridgeview was named the world’s best sparkling wine by Decanter Magazine, beating many well-known Champagnes. “Their belief was that we had the right terroir, the right land and the right climate to make the highest quality version of this wine since we’re so similar to the Champagne region,” says their daughter Tamara. Today, Tamara, her brother, and their spouses all work at the vineyard making it truly a family business. While the relatively cool climate of England makes it a challenge to grow grapes for still wine, however varieties for sparkling wines thrive, she says, because of the high acidity and low sugars. Also because the
vines are younger, they have natural youth with fresher fruit, and a zestiness, for a refreshing alternative to Champagne. For Booths own brand, Ridgeview blend Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier in equal measure. “We’ve also added in some reserve wines because it gives it a little bit more richness on the palate.” While many kick off Christmas festivities with a glass of fizz, Tamara says we shouldn’t stop there. “Sparkling wines are very underrated and always seem to be the apéritif. Actually they go brilliantly with a bit of Christmas dinner. Have a little glass at the beginning of the day but don’t forget to pour yourself one as the turkey’s served.”
Tamara Roberts at Ridgeview Vineyards, Sussex.

PETE’S PERFECT PINT Pete Newton is on a mission: he’d like to see more people choosing beer as their tipple of choice this Christmas.
Pete is Booths Beer and Spirits Buyer and has been par t of the Booths team for 11 years. He says there’s never been a better time to drink beer thanks to the rise in craft beers, including some interesting local brews that he’s proud to suppor t.
it all comes down to personal choice. But no matter what the mood, the season or occasion, there is one thing Pete is sure about. “I think there is a beer for everybody,” he says. We’ll drink to that.
“I think customers over the years have become a little bit tired of the same old brands and the same old mass produced products. The craft movement allowed people to star t making small amounts, really good quality, interesting, quirky products that people have just star ted to enjoy.” Booths has over 150 craft beers in our range as well as 300 premium ales. “Suddenly, wine isn’t the be all and end all and beer isn’t just something for a guy to drink down the pub on a Friday and a Saturday,” he says. “Beer is something that everyone can appreciate, the whole new flavour profile of beers in the UK with the hoppiness and the different styles, means it’s accessible for all.” While people might think of drinking wine with their Christmas dinner, Pete says there are great beers to pair with all kinds of foods. “There is a smoked por ter that works nicely with game and charcuterie. It also works well with a creamy brie. Salmon works with some of the lighter styles of beer. For Christmas dinner itself, an IPA, India pale ale style beer works quite well because it’s quite a sound, robust beer.” Introducing new beers to the Booths range is one of the things Pete likes most about his job. But whether a new beer stays or goes isn’t up to him. “I always say that I don’t keep a product in our stores, our customers do. If they’re buying it and they’re enjoying it, we keep it there.” So what’s in his glass this Christmas? “I think when it comes down to the style of beer, the type of beer, my beer changes on what my mood is, depending on what the weather is like.” At the end of the day

THE SPIRIT OF THE LAKES Savour a long, slow sip of Lakes Distillery gin or vodka and you’ll taste a bit of the Lake District itself. They are deeply connected to the land and waters that surround them and actually distill lake waters to create their spirits. Take akes in. t star ts with fifteen otanicals many of which are foraged in the Cumbrian wildlife reserve. “The biggest ingredient is our Cumbrian juniper but you’ve got hawthorn, heather and bilberry in there as well,” says Katie Read from the distillery. “So it’s connected to the fell. It couldn’t be from anywhere else.” The same is true of their vodka. “It’s that closeness to Bassenthwaite Lake. It’s the surrounding, majestic Lakeland peaks. It’s that countryside that envelopes the distillery that actually gives us our inspiration.”
Creating something that is such a par t of the land, brings with it responsibilities and stewardship which Katie says they’ve embraced eagerly. “We’ve built our own waste plant on site that processes all our waste and returns it to the environment, 100% clean.” The salvage from the barley goes into high protein animal feed for local farmers and water used in production is returned to the river in pristine condition. “We’re nur turing the distillery. And we’re nur turing it for a future generation. Because our stills will be distilling for many, many years. We really want to create a legacy.”
Katie Read and John Drake at Lakes Distillery, Cumbria.
