COULD YOU BE TWELVE’S NEXT KITCHEN HERO? HELL’S Kitchen meets Ready Steady Cook this Autumn as an award-winning Lancashire restaurant searches for its very own kitchen hero! To celebrate 10 years in business and raise money for Trinity Hospice, Twelve Restaurant & Lounge Bar at Marsh Mill on the Fylde is searching for its very own amateur chefs to go head-to-head in a professional environment. They are looking for two chefs to compete against one another and serve more than 70 diners with a live video kitchen link-up and a judging panel of local experts. To compete, candidates must submit two dishes – a starter and a main course - and the best entries will be chosen
based on the composition of the dishes, seasonality, style and use of local produce.
Husband and wife team Caroline Upton and Paul Moss who own Twelve Restaurant & Lounge Bar and Twelve Event Management said the competition was a great opportunity for anyone with a real passion for food and cooking. “We all watch the television shows where individuals compete in a professional kitchen to the high standards of a renowned restaurant with famous and talented chefs – but what is it actually like? ”We are offering two brave candidates the chance to put their talents to the test and see if they have what it takes to compete in a professional environment. “But first, we want people to send us their submissions. The dishes can be any style of cooking, whether vegetarian or meat, inspired by home cooking or food from around the world. Above all, they must be creative and stylish using seasonal and local ingredients! “explained Caroline. The deadline for submissions (starter and main course) is October 1st 2010, and candidates must be available for the event which will be held on Wed 27th October. Entries can be submitted by post to Twelve Restaurant & Lounge Bar or by email info@twelve-restaurant.co.uk.
Twelve have joined up with Radio Lancashire to supply each candidate’s Commis Chefs – presenter Sally Naden, and the producer of the Ted Robbins Show, Alison Brown; in addition each candidate will also be assigned two chefs from Twelve. The candidates will compete under the banners of Twelve’s signature dessert dishes – the Tangerine Dream Vs the Banana Butty. Diners will have their say on who is the best team with a ‘Ready Steady Cook!’ style of voting – orange tangerines or yellow bananas!

Whip the egg white in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form. Whisk in the sugar a tbsp at a time and keep whisking for a couple of mins until the mixture is thick and resembles shaving foam. Gently spoon the mixture into a large freezer bag, then cut a 1.5cm hole in one of the corners. Cover a baking sheet with some baking parchment. Carefully squeeze a small circle of whipped egg white out of the bag, pulling upwards as you do to make a ghost shape. Repeat until the mixture is used up - you should get about 15 ghosts.

Finish decorating the cake: heat cream in a saucepan until just boiling. Place the dark chocolate in a large bowl and pour over the hot cream. Stir until the chocolate melts. Use a clean brush to paint a layer of chocolate over 7 rich tea finger biscuits, then set aside to cool. Pour the rest of the chocolate mixture over the cake and smooth over with a knife. Whizz the chocolate cookies, or bash in a freezer bag with a rolling pin, until small crumbs form. Sprinkle over the top of the cake.

T.C.F.C September proved to be another good month for the West Lancs Prem new boys with games coming thick and fast in both cup and league competitions. Saturday the 4th saw them travelling back to the venue of their opening day league fixture with an away cup tie versus Tempest United. A 2-2 draw that day was the sign of things to come as a 1-1 draw was played out to full time.With cup rules in place keeper Mark Smith was the hero of the hour saving all three Tempest penalties in the resulting shoot-out to see his side through to the next round. Back to league action on September 11th and Vickerstown CCFC made the long journey to New Bourne Park and returned home the happier of the two teams following a well earned 1 -1 draw . Dalton Utd were hoping to follow suit the week after but unlike their local rivals they could not overcome the home side who won by a 1- 0 margin. Back into cup action on the 25th and Walney Island were the next Cumbrian outfit to be overcome in the Lancashire Amateur Shield. A convincing 6 – 1 home win kept the cup run alive with a 3 round Tie to look forward to.
