Rule Britannia!

WHEN you’re lucky enough to live right here in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside, there’s not much we can teach you about Great British food.

From a good old-fashioned fry-up that starts your day in the best way possible to a sophisticated afternoon tea; from our world-famous ‘national dish’ of fish and chips to that Sunday dinner staple of roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, if there’s one thing we British know about it’s how to fill your belly!

FARMHOUSE FAYRE Traditionally, our diet has always been abundant in farmed meats and fresh vegetables. With a strong background in farming, our chicken, pork, beef and lamb has always been among the best in the world and thanks to our wealth of

rich, fertile soil, root crops like potatoes and carrots formed part of everyday life.

More recently, of course, the cuisine of the United Kingdom has become awash with influences from all over the globe, thanks to the multi-cultural communities we all live in.

And it’s this healthy blend of the traditional, fused with international flavours that make British fayre so great.

CAKE THAT! Over the last couple of years, the country has seen a huge resurgence in the popularity of baking. Simple skills, once taken for granted, had been on the wane, but largely thanks to the BBC television programme, the Great British Bake-Off, we’ve seen people of all ages getting excited about whisking a handful of ingredients and turning them into something spectacular.

BOOZE HEADLINES Of course, we shouldn’t overlook the stuff we use to wash our food down. Of course there’s nothing better than a nice cup of tea; you can’t imagine anything more British, but let’s face it, the vast majority of our tea comes from much hotter climes than ours.

Instead, we should celebrate local producers of ales - British beer is truly among the world’s best. We produce around 600 million litres of cider every year - all from lovely fresh British apples while Scotch whisky is among the most successful British exports ever.

AMERICA PAGE 5

Born in the USA FOR years those hallowed golden arches were all that us Brits associated with American food.

But to right off the States as being the land of fast food and nothing more, would be a great disservice to this land of plenty.

America has a rich immigrant history, which may have been kicked off by the British and other European settlers, but the American dream has brought millions of people from every corner of the globe. And, these settlers have each brought with them a set of exciting ingredients and cooking techniques.

From the Deep South with its Creole and Tex-Mex fusions to the East Coast’s love of iconic street food, with so much good food available in the USA, it’s not hard to see why many American dishes are adopted and adored around the world.

BURGER WARS

candy coating, it seems there’s almost nothing that can’t be made even better by sandwiching it together to make a burger.

But, it’s not just the American’s burgers that we love. It’s sticky barbecue ribs, slowcooked pulled pork, seasoned skinny fries, crisp fried chicken, jumbo hot dogs, mac ‘n’ cheese and an endless array of sticky, gooey puddings that we can’t get enough of too.

FRESH DEMAND Before you think American food is only for those happy to wear an elasticated waist, it’s worth remembering that this is a place that’s home to Hollywood – a place where sushi, fresh seafood and salad are among the best in the world.

American’s love the hustle and bustle of a farmer’s market for picking out fresh seasonal produce, and the West Coast in particular is ripe with fantastic salads and smoothies that make getting your five-aday far more appealing and enjoyable.

The biggest and fastest-growing food trend in the last 12 months is surely the elevation of the humble hamburger?

Once a fast-food diner classic, now it’s the gourmet burger with a million different toppings that has really captured our imaginations. Even the Chancellor of the Exchequer is partial to a posh burger or two.

Whether it’s a doughnut instead of a bun, or bacon immortalised in a sugared-

PAGE 6 BRAZIL

Brazilliant!

WITH the World Cup nothing but a distant memory, many of us are missing the vibrancy and spirit of Brazil and its people.

But, fear not, because Brazilian cuisine is more prevalent than you may have realised.

Over the years, a number of Brazilian barbecue-style restaurants have popped up and turned the idea of the common carvery on its head.

Inspired by the gaucho cowboys of southern Brazil, these meat-focused restaurants celebrate the traditional style of cooking good quality meat over red-hot charcoals. Think steak, pork and even chicken hearts – and you’ll begin to see how the cowboys

A CARNIVAL OF FLAVOURS

A country as big as Brazil undoubtedly brings variety and you’ll find each region has different influences and cooking styles, but all will make the most of its surroundings, so expect fresh fish on the coast, lots of root vegetables further inland and unusual ingredients unique to this exciting culinary hotspot.

Home to a huge chunk of the Amazon river and rainforest, Brazil is a vast land which is home to some of the rarest species of flora and fauna on the planet. Scientists believe it’s highly likely there are still critters and plant species we’re even yet to discover.

With this in mind, it’s fair to say that Brazil is home to some of the best fresh fruit and vegetables you’ll find.

Head to your supermarket’s tropical fruit section, and it’s likely that some or all will have begun life on Brazilian soil – papaya, mango, guava, oranges, passion fruit, coconuts and pineapples are just

• 227g peanut butter • Salt to taste • Cracked black pepper to taste • 3 level tblsp unrefined palm oil

Method

1. Place the butter and palm oil into a large flat casserole or roasting tray on a medium hob and gently fry the chicken breasts to colour all over then remove from the tray.

2. To the tray add the onion, garlic and chilli puree and fry without colouring, then crumble in the fish stock cube and stir in.

Add the lemon and lime juices, whipping

cream, water, peanut butter and stir together.

3. Put the chicken back in (you can cut it into strips if you wish or keep it as whole pieces), add the crayfish, cover and place in the oven to braise for approximately 1

hour.

4. When ready the sauce should have slightly thickened.

5. Serve with white rice and a garnish of watercress. Additional accompaniments include fried plantain and coconut farofa.

Whether it’s eat-with-your-hands street food like burritos brimming with spicy chicken and refried beans or fresh fish carefully marinated to create a tonguetingling ceviche, there’s a Mexican dish out there for every kind of food lover.

Other common ingredients include corn – often ground to make those favourite tortilla wraps and nachos, fresh limes, coriander and sun-ripened tomatoes.

AZTEC INGREDIENTS The ancient and historically rich land of Mexico has long been home to a range of exotic ingredients. The natives are rightly proud of the abundance of fresh produce that has defined the flavours of their national dishes, none more so than the powerful chilli pepper.

The Mexicans were one of the first, more daring people to add chillies to their

Many Mexican dishes are balanced with heat from chillies and the chocolate, earthiness of mole is one dish where the rich Ancho chilli is the star ingredient.

MAKE MINE A MEXICAN Alongside great food, Mexico is the home of tequila – a spirit derived from the agave cacti which grow in great abundance across much of the mainland. Tequila is just the tipple to stand up to the fiery, extrovert flavours of the native cuisine. But, if tequila packs a little bit too much punch for you, you can always try it a little more subtle in a frozen margarita – a truly refreshing cocktail that’ll have you dreaming of the Cancun shoreline.

PAGE 8 MIDDLE EAST

Eastern promise THE mysterious Middle East has a rich culinary heritage that’s distinct in its appearance and flavour.

Although the food of Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and Iran are relatively new to English palates the ingredients common to many dishes are as ancient as they come, with many even mentioned in the Bible.

Middle Eastern cooking is epitomised by rich, indulgent ingredients added to everyday grains and pulses to create something extraordinary.

Typical flavours include honey, rosewater, saffron, sumac, pistachios, cinnamon and dried fruits.

You may be familiar with aspects of Middle Eastern cuisine, even if it’s just a late-night, post-pub kebab; although a proper Persian

‘kehbab’ is in a league of its own.

SUGAR AND SPICE For those with a sweet tooth Middle Eastern cooking is a thing of wonder. Even many of the savoury dishes are elevated to a sweeter plain with the addition of jewellike pomegranate seeds, a drizzle of sticky honey or a sprinkle of barberries through gently steamed rice.

Filo or phyllo pastry is a key component of the famous baklava desserts and these crisp little pastries are available throughout the Middle East, they’re honey-soaked layers glistening in the sun.

Delicate baklava offer a decadent bitesized treat, flavoured with honey, rosewater or finely crushed nuts. They’re delicious with coffee, or even better, Moroccan fresh mint tea.

CHINA PAGE 9

Oriental Express WHEN British tastes were simple and many feared ‘foreign food’ with its strange names and alien ingredients, there was always something about Chinese food that excited and intrigued.

Chopsticks were a challenge and slurping noodles a guilty pleasure. Nowadays, Chinese takeaways are a regular treat, with family members of all ages having their favourite dish or dim sum they just don’t want to share with anyone else.

Of course, the takeaway classics only represent a fraction of what China has to offer when it comes to cooking.

Dim sum is a wonder all of its own, with thousands of combinations of tiny, intricate parcels steamed or fried to reveal soft, flavourful interiors bursting with salty, sweet duck and pork or sea-fresh prawns.

The Chinese cater well for vegetarians too with a wealth of rice and noodle-based dishes, peppered with crunchy vegetables or spicy black beans and sweet chillies.

Similar to Indian cuisine, China’s food is rich in diversity which each corner showcasing a particular style or set of flavours. Peking is renowned for its crispy duck, Szechuan packs a punch with fiery crushed chillies, while Zhejiang in comparison is known for its subtle, mellow flavours and abundance of fresh ingredients.

While elements of Chinese food are ultrafamiliar and have become part of everyday cooking, the Chinese’s tastes are still far braver than our own. Fermented tofu, the stinky durian fruit, fertilised duck eggs, chicken feet and the famous century egg (preserved in a mixture of clay, ash and salt for weeks or even months!) are still just a step too far for us play-safe Brits.

The best of Bengal Fish plays a huge part in the cuisine, with much of Bengal being coastal, and here, chicken and lamb are replaced with mutton and goat.

A turbulent political history hasn’t harmed Bengal’s culinary prowess and here not only will you find IndoChinese dishes to die for, but Bengal is also the only place which traditionally dines in the French style of service à la russe, rather than serving all dishes at once.

ALL too often we generalise Indian food as being just one type of cuisine, most notably curries. But the Indian subcontinent is as diverse as it comes.

Nowhere is this more apparent than in India’s farthest eastern corner in Bengal.

Encased by the Bay of Bengal, the region blends seamlessly from mainland India to Bangladesh, just skimming Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan in the north. With so many influential neighbours it’s little wonder that Bengali food is fusion at its finest.

Of course, many of the spices and ingredients are shared with its Indian siblings, but Bengal has a style that is all its own.

And it’s those spices which opened up such vital trade routes between India and Europe, advertising Indian cuisine to the wider world.

India, in particular, has provided the spice that had always been lacking in British dishes and the relationship has become so strong that dishes like curry and masala are firmly part of UK culture.

But the history of Indian food is so much more beautiful and intricate than a couple of mild dishes that cater for British tastes.

Traditionally, religious beliefs have been one of the main factors in determining Indian diet but also hundreds of years of Mughal rule brought a more central Asian influence to everyday cooking.

Though potatoes (brought to India by the Portuguese) and other vegetables are important in a country with many vegetarians, the land has a wide range of temperatures and soil types which allows great diversity in the produce it yields.

Chow bella!

While most Britons love Italian nosh, it’s fair to say we mostly mean pizza and pasta. But there is so much more to the homeland palate. It really isn’t all about dough and a dollop of tomato sauce, the way mama used to make!

ANCIENT TRIVIALISATION Italian cuisine is in fact an elaborate

combination of Roman, Greek and Arabian cuisines. Developing over many hundreds of years and chucking in a touch of French and Austrian, herbs and spices, along the way, it now accounts for some of the best loved food in the world.

As the fare evolved, a distinct divide between Northern and Southern recipes appeared and while the affluent north of the country traded in luxury items and fresh ingredients, the south trailed behind, utilising dry products and producing peasant food.

So the birth of the pizza, and pasta such as macaroni and spaghetti. Once tomatoes were exported in the 1800s there was no stopping the assortment of toppings and combinations - and Naples and Sicily in particular became famous for this carbohydrate-rich food intended to feed and fill.

WHEN IN ROME

Food is extraordinarily regional in Italy. You won’t find the same cuisine in Rome as you will find in Milan or Florence or Bologna. And

you won’t find some ‘Italian dishes’ there at all. Why? Because they’re not Italian; they’re American: spaghetti and meatballs, lobster fra’ diavolo, deep pan four-meat feast, garlic bread. The future! But not in the eyes of the olive-skinned mediterranean ones.

So next time you have chance, why not opt for a melanzane alla parmigiana, panzanella, osso bucco, bruschetta al pomodoro, caponata or porchetta – all authentic Italian dishes and not a Pizza Hut or dried up linguine pack in sight?

WHEN you watch your local pizzeria spinning dough overhead and tossing the freshly spun discs onto a tray it looks truly effortless.

the dough mix, but if your tap water is too hard or too soft it can affect the resulting dough. Instead try, substituting the water for gently warmed milk instead.

3) ADD A DRIZZLE OF OLIVE OIL

But, if you’ve ever tried to make your own it’s easy to find yourself in a bit of a sticky mess. Of course, it doesn’t have to be that way…

Grease the bowl that you use when you put your dough in to rise, this will make the dough easier to remove and enrich it too.

Making pizza from scratch can be simple.

Adding too much flour when rolling out your dough will affect the flavour. Use ground semolina instead which will also give your base added texture and bite.

HERE ARE 5 TIPS TO MAKE PERFECT PIZZA AT HOME… 1) TRY A BAKING STONE Using a pizza stone or terracotta tray can make a world of difference to the crunch of your crust. Be sure to pre-heat it first to ensure an even bake and good colouring.

2) TRY MILK Often water makes up the liquid portion of

4) SPRINKLE SOME SEMOLINA

5) KEEP IT SIMPLE Keep your toppings simple; don’t put too much tomato sauce on the base as the pizza will be soggy. Top pizza chefs recommend using just three or four different ingredients.

It’s all in the past-a!

THE Italians consume over 3.2 million tonnes of pasta every year* and are the world’s leading producer of the stuff, supplying a whopping 36kg per head per year**.

The first ever recorded pasta sighting/ eating was believed to be in Sicily, which is a huge producer of the durum wheat which pasta is made from, in 1154. So it’s fair to say that when it comes to perfect pasta the Italians certainly know their fusilli from their farfalle.

There are hundreds of different types of pasta in existence, and because you can make pasta by hand, there’s no reason you can’t make create your own shapes.

It certainly hasn’t limited manufacturer’s

imaginations, who regularly churn out pasta shaped into the latest children’s TV craze or even rude shapes to market for hen parties…

The core pasta categories are short pasta, such as penne (tubes) and conchiglie (shells); long pasta, such as spaghetti and bucatini; minute pasta, including orzo and macaroni; and pasta al forno, like lasagne and cannelloni which is usually baked.

For convenience, most people cook with the dried pasta which lasts for months, but as any Italian will tell you; nothing beats fresh egg pasta with a homemade tomato sauce, bellisimo! *Source: International Pasta Organisation, June 2010

MEDITERRANEAN PAGE 17

Sun, sea and the taste of summer APART from the obvious attractions of the sun-soaked Mediterranean, one of the things we love most about that muchvisited stretch of sea which runs from Portugal in the west and tickles the toes of France and Spain, the Balearics, Corsica, Sardinia, Malta and the many Greek islands, is the food.

Spain’s laidback eating style with bite-sized morsels of spicy charcuterie like chorizo, patatas bravas, calamari and wedges of Spanish omelette have made tapas a popular choice.

You can taste it now: the piles of shiny shellfish, fat plump sardines, garlic-laced butter and tomatoes so vividly red and juicy they can’t possibly be related to that pale thing that makes your cheese sarnie so soggy!

Although each Mediterranean country and island has its own distinct style, the food-rich sea means that there’s always a ready supply of healthy fish and shellfish to celebrate.

While we may not be able to enjoy yearround sunshine and crystal clear waters here in Huddersfield, what we can do is

emulate what is widely regarded as one of the healthiest cuisines in the world.

AN ABUNDANCE OF INSPIRATION

Greek food and meze are also favourites.

Throw in salty feta cheese, juicy dark olives, stuffed vine leaves and succulent grilled meats and you’re in for a real treat.

PAGE 18 PAKISTAN

Kashmir if you can…

AN ancient land with food to match its colourful history.

Northern Pakistan is well-known for its rugged landscape, where snow-capped mountains and treacherous winding roads, make it difficult to transport the spices and fresh vegetables of the south.

But some of your favourite dishes may well have originated from this multi-cultural homeland. Northern Pakistan includes Kashmir with its rich, creamy curries, the region of Peshwar with its world-famous sweetened naan breads and stunning Lahore, home to Food Street, Gawalmandi – which as its name suggests – is home to an array of mouthwatering delights including seekh kebab and rich biryanis, served late into the night.

Pakistan, particularly the north, has a predominantly Muslim population, which makes lamb, beef and chicken the most popular meats, all prepared to meet the Halal guidelines.

Meat is either grilled, or more commonly, stewed slowly in thick gravies, flavoured with aromatics and spices, such as cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and black pepper.

Mango Lassi

Northern Pakistan also has a strong tea culture, with non-sweetened tea often enjoyed with the evening meal. Commonly known as chai, when a sweeter variant is required, Pakistanis indulge in chais made with cardamom, plenty of milk and maybe pistachio nuts. Lassi a combination of milk and yoghurt flavoured with fruits like mango and strawberries are also favourites.

In a glass of its own FIRST quaffed in great quantities by the Ancient Greeks and Romans, wine has become the celebration drink of the modern world.

But it seems, most of us don’t need a special occasion to crack open a bottle of vino, with wine consumption in the UK particularly stable; we’re actually the sixth biggest wine drinking country in the world*!

Where once there were only a few winemaking countries which had a monopoly on plonk, wine makers can now be found far and wide… even here in the British Isles, predominantly down south, there are vineyards making some fantastic wines and even sparkling wines to rival France’s.

Around the world in wine New Zealand (Marlborough) Smaller than its larger Antipodean cousin, New Zealand has wine to rival the best Oz has to offer.

The humid conditions of Marlborough make for ideal grape growing and even better wine making.

This newly launched Sauvignon Blanc is a real beauty. Since planting the very first vines in 2003 on the estates unique rich soils, the te Pā vineyard now boasts

20

150ha bringing genuine authenticity, strong family values and world-class quality to each and every one of its new four strong varietals. te Pā 2013 Sauvignon Blanc With grapes sourced from a single site, the award-winning 2013 Sauvignon Blanc boasts intense aromas of grapefruit and lime zest combined with floral notes delivering an elegant array of complex flavours and a crisp refreshing finish that is synonymous with Marlborough.

Pairing notes: fresh seafood and grilled spring vegetables. £10.99 The Wine Society

South Africa (Western Cape) South Africa’s mountainous Western Cape has fast-risen to be one of the world’s favourite table wines. Perfect conditions for red wine, the Cape is rich with Merlot, Pinotage and Shiraz grapes.

Kumala Reserve Shiraz This ruby red wine boasts a smooth, medium body with spicy aromas, hints of forest fruits, supported by dark mocha and cherry to give a longlingering finish.

Pairing notes: beef wellington, venison and slow-roasted lamb. £8.99 Tesco

WINES OF THE WORLD PAGE 19

de

France (Champagne) A magnet for wine lovers and nature lovers alike, Champagne CanardDuchene is based in the heart of the Parc Naturel la Montagne de Reims in the Champagne region and CanardDuchene Authentic Green Brut, France (£32, Oddbins) is an easy drinking style made from the classic trio of chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier. Clean, fresh and fruity, it’s a perfect choice for sipping alfresco and the green label is testament to the producer’s environmentally friendly practices.

Chile (Pacific Coast) Each Casillero del Diablo wine is the result of carefully selected grapes grown in some of Chile’s most award-winning winemaking regions, from the Limari Valley in the north to the Maule Valley in the south.

The unique characteristics of each vineyard is reflected within the flavours and aromas of each bottle.

Casillero del Diablo Devil’s Collection White This enticing white blend has notes of pineapple, citrus and peach.

Pairing notes: fragrant Thai salads and grilled fish suppers. £8.99 Tesco and ASDA.com

France (Provence) Provence is the birthplace of rosé, producing dry, elegant, refreshing examples that can pair with a multitude of cuisines.

The climate here is beautifully sunny, and the terroir very diverse, made up of volcanic limestone and crystalline deposits.

Mirabeau Rosé 2013, Côtes de Provence The bright, vibrant Mirabeau rosé is a classic example, displaying raspberry and cherry fruit flavours, refreshing acidity and a dry finish.

Pairing notes: an ideal match for an array of cuisines, from barbeques to Asian dishes. £8.99 Waitrose Spain (Navarra) Deeply flavoured reds are some of Spain’s greatest assets and at a parrillada - a Spanish BBQ - marinated lamb and beef are left to rest while the grill gets going. Hot, sweet and peppery, these sauces and marinades cry out for a fresh, vibrant style like Artazuri Red 2013, Artadi, Navarra, Spain (£10.95, www.bbr.com) to balance the flavours. Youthful, modern and made from garnacha, there’s a sweetness to the ripe forest floor of black fruits that mingles with spice, liquorice and cocoa on the lively finish. *Source: Vinexpo, January 2014
