How Clean is Your Oven?

Spring is the perfect time for homeowners to get their house in order and this usually includes the one job that is constantly overlooked... the overworked oven!

Even the most enthusiastic of Spring cleaners find donning rubber gloves and tackling the oven one of the most loathed household chores, and if people are not thorough with their oven cleaning, fat and food can cause future problems which could result in an oven fire and it’s also a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and germs.

This is where Ovenu comes to the rescue!

Owner, Richard Greenwood, runs the local franchise of Ovenu, the UK’s most prestigious oven cleaning company, and his is a true family business as four of his team of six oven cleaning technicians are members of his family.

Richard said: “People don’t realise that the more you use your oven the more debris and grease starts to build up and this can

6

affect its efficiency. Remnants of food could still be lurking in the oven, hiding behind the panels, behind the fan cover or even dribbling over the heating elements in those hard to reach places.”

The whole Ovenu process takes around three hours and leaves the oven, hob and exterior in immaculate condition. So call Richard today to arrange for that most hated cleaning job to be taken care of so that you don’t have to!

Treatment review by Angela Riches Of all the treatments I have had, reflexology was not one of them, so when I heard about Calverley Reflexologist Helen Alred, I was keen to try it out and see what benefits were to be gained.

As Helen works mobile, and I work very long hours, it was arranged for Helen to come to our office at the end of the working day to do the treatment. Helen arrived complete with a folding treatment chair, which has to be one of the most comfortable I have ever sat in, and everything she needed to carry out the treatment, all condensed into a very neat holdall!

First of all Helen wanted to find out about my medical history and lifestyle and we went through a comprehensive questionnaire and then Helen explained to me what Reflexology is, what I could expect to experience and also what after effects and benefits I might have.

Helen started with some general relaxation, followed by a precise thumb and

finger walking technique over every part of each foot in turn, toes (even the tips), soles and tops of my feet and ankles, applying pressure to every reflex area in turn. This was never ticklish, however at times I did feel very sleepy and even had to close my eyes for a ‘mini nap’ a couple of times, it was amazing how tender some of the points were and Helen explained which area of the body each point related to that was out of balance – correctly pointing out problems I am experiencing in my back and shoulders. Helen worked on these areas to relieve the issues and explained that I should drink lots of water to flush away the toxins released during the treatment, and that I would probably sleep very deeply that night...correct!

I slept like a baby and felt so relaxed and refreshed the next day, it was amazing.

Helen also called me the next day to see how I was feeling, a great follow up service, and the whole experience was so rewarding that I will definitely be booking more treatments!

W

hen two local businesses in Calverley, Salescake and Redvoice, started to do business following a chance meeting through dog walking, it wasn’t long before they were helping others to do the same.

Zandra Moore of Salescake said “it is great to do business with people in the same village, there are a large number of business people in Calverley so setting up a network to encourage more local business made sense”.

business networking event, “It’s the only event I know where doing business is so enjoyable”, says founder Helen West from Redvoice.

There are lots of reasons why our members come along; •

Fun and games as MP opens up the Toybox!

S

hipley MP Phillip Davies opened a new toy shop in Shipley last week (2 July). New Chamber member The Toybox store in the Arndale Centre welcomed excited children at a fun filled launch party with cakes, biscuits, face painting and entertainment.

The official opening is the culmination of months of hard work for shop proprietor Lauren Williams whose long term success is fully supported by the Be Involved mentor programme.

Lauren recently registered as a mentee on the Be Involved Mentoring Programme and was successfully matched with her new mentor Susan Mendoza, Centre Manager at Airedale Shopping Centre, Keighley.

Lauren has wholeheartedly praised the mentor scheme.

She said: “Finding the right mentor wasn’t a hard job thanks to the expertise of the programme coordinator Dena Habashi-Ayub. I have been matched with a fantastic lady who is both dynamic and knowledgeable with a wealth of project management

experience. I now have much more focus and know where I am going. Communication, interaction, listening and believing in yourself with help from a motivated individual will help you every step of the way.

I can thoroughly recommend the mentor scheme to anyone starting out in business.”

The new store, which has been trading since April, has been welcomed by local shoppers who have seen the centre undergo a major resurgence of activity in recent months.

Kickstart Advisor Joe Cahill has also been instrumental in the beginnings of Lauren’s new venture.

Philip Davies MP said: “The new store opening is great news for all businesses in the Bradford district.

I am delighted that Lauren has been able to use the support schemes available to all new businesses in Bradford. The mentor programme has a long record of success in helping to support the District’s fledgling entrepreneurs.”

Seven Principles of Effective Networking

by Gary Blonder

1) Set Goals Who do I want to meet? Why do I want to meet these people? Where will I meet these people?

2) Carry Business Cards at All Times Your cards should always be to hand everywhere.

3) Take Good Notes on Business Cards It's important to remember what has been said. Take notes on the back of business cards to remember your conversation when you follow up.

4) Be Genuine Always listen, giving eye contact, asking questions and not interrupting. Build trust and a good relationship, and don’t actively sell.

5) Offer to Help Others A networking must. Offer to share resources, make introductions, gather data and perform consulting. By extending yourself to others, you build a reputation as a giver rather than a taker.

6) Follow Up Follow up with people the next day so you're still fresh in their minds. If you offer to help someone - no matter how big or small you need to follow up.

7) Build Relationships You need to continue to build your relationship with people. By reaching out to them, you will come across as genuine and someone who values your relationships.

Final Thought By incorporating some or all of the above networking principles, you will be more prepared for events and a truly effective networker! Enjoy yourself and don't forget that networking is a continual process with each person you meet.

competition

We have a signed copy of the Riverford Farm Cook Book to give away on its release. For a chance to win, email your favourite courgette recipe to competition@riverford.co.uk

by Friday 25th July. We’ll also feature the best recipe suggestions on our websites.

eat courgettes

O

ur field workers sow courgettes in small pots in late March or early April, covered with fleece to protect them from frost.

The plants are often flowering within a month, when the covers are removed to allow pollinating insects in. Picking normally begins in mid June, and by July the courgettes are in full swing. Our challenge is to stay on top of the picking and avoid too many over-sized rejects.

Courgettes keep best in the bottom of your fridge. They keep their appearance for two weeks or more, but the flavour and nutritional value decline much more quickly. Eat them as soon as possible; old courgettes are tasteless but a really fresh one, straight from the plant, is fantastic.

Deep fried courgette flowers, stuffed with ricotta and spinach and eaten in batches as they come out of the pan, are one of the best things on earth, but you’ll need to grow them yourself. We would love to put courgette flowers in our veg boxes, but they are just too delicate to last the journey from the farm.

Also, we might accidentally give you an unwelcome freebie… slugs love to curl up and take a snooze in the flowers.

Find some freshly-picked courgettes and try Jane Baxter’s recipes; the chocolate courgette cake has even been known to convert veg-averse children!

Find these and other recipes in the Riverford Farm Cook Book.

about the box scheme Guy Watson began farming at Riverford in Devon over 20 years ago. He was an organic vegbox pioneer, giving customers the freshest possible seasonal fruit and veg at a fair price to everyone. No-one wanted the business to get too big, so Guy teamed up with ‘sister’ farms who shared his passion and wanted to re-build the connection between grower and consumer.

River Nene was the first sister farm in 2005. From Sacrewell Lodge Farm near Peterborough, we deliver to homes throughout the east of England. River Swale followed in 2007, from Home Farm in North Yorkshire. River Swale supplies veg boxes across Yorkshire and the North

what you might find in your vegbox this month new potatoes, bunched carrots, bunched onions, true spinach, courgettes, mini cucumber, celery vine cherry tomatoes, sugarsnap peas French beans, basil, radishes East. Riverford on Upper Norton Farm has since opened, delivering organic veg to homes around the Hampshire area.

Working as a family of farms means we can maintain our commitment to low food miles, local employment and the support of local farmers and keep a close link between grower and consumer.

slow cooked courgettes

by Jane Baxter

Instructions: Line a 20x35cm baking tray with baking paper and preheat the oven to 190ºC. Mix the butter, oil, caster sugar and soft brown sugar together until light and fluffy.

Spoon the mixture carefully into the tin. Bake for about 40 minutes. Cut into squares whilst still warm.

Instructions: Slice the courgettes into ovals about ¾cm thick.

In a large pan heat the oil and fry the courgette slices in batches until slightly coloured (don’t put too many in the pan at once or they won’t brown).
