Rhubarb & Blackberry Country Cake

350g flour A pinch of salt 1/2 teaspoon bicarb 50g caster sugar 75g butter 1 egg, preferably free range & organic 165ml milk, buttermilk or sour milk – 400g rhubarb, finely sliced 150g blackberries Egg wash (beaten egg & milk) 175-225g granulated sugar (150g if you like your rhubarb tart) Caster sugar for sprinkling

9

1 x 25.5cm (10 inch) enamel or Pyrex plate (I actually used a flat pie plate).

Preheat the oven to 180C. Sieve the flour, salt, bicarb and caster sugar into a bowl and then rub in the butter until you have breadcrumbs.

Whisk the egg and mix with the buttermilk or soured cream then make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in most of the liquid and mix to soft dough, add the remainder of the liquid if necessary.

Sprinkle a little flour on your work surface, turn out the dough and pat gently into a round.

Divide into two pieces and set one aside. Roll out one piece of dough and place it onto the pie plate but don’t trim it.

Scatter the finely chopped rhubarb all over the base, egg-wash the edges and sprinkle the rhubarb with the granulated sugar.

Roll out the other piece of dough until it is exactly the size to cover the plate, lift it on and press gently to seal the edges. I don’t bother to trim because I love all that golden crust but feel free to neaten it up as you like... make a hole in the centre for the steam to escape, egg-wash and sprinkle with a very small amount of sugar.

Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until the rhubarb is soft and the crust is golden. Leave it to sit for 15-20 minutes so that the juice can soak into the crust.

VL Fashion Picks for Spring/Summer ‘15

A

s summer gets ever closer it’s time to put away the polo necks & dark colours and fully embrace the glory of Colour... Here at VL our focus, as always, is Shop Locally and we have sourced some of the best key pieces for the up and coming season on your doors step.

Shy away from the hustle and bustle of Brighton & Worthing and instead take a day out with the family or bestie and embrace the beautiful and quaint local village of Steyning, where you will find the Fabulous Get Waisted Boutique (page 16) offering a range of ladies wear to include some stunning One Off Gowns and Dresses and accessories perfect for the up & coming Prom Season. They also offer bespoke Corsets and Dresses, why not treat yourself to a custom made dress....?

Not forgetting the Gentlemen, just a few doors away there is Dandelion (page 2) a bespoke Tailor who makes the most stylish waistcoats as well as made to measure shirts perfect for the Wedding Season. They have a lovely stock of ready to wear Men’s & ladies fashion.

No outfit is complete without that statement handbag... which we ladies love. So have a look online at Cloudberry handbags (page 14) as featured on our front cover – the Brook Mock Snake Print in Emerald or Coral makes an elegant statement for work or social... The Burlington in Fuchsia is also available in a variety of colours and their prices start from as little as £35.

With a wealth of experience in the Fashion industry this elegant range comes to you from their showroom in Angmering.

Après Chocolate in Shoreham (page 14) have once again out done themselves with their new Spring/ Summer collection... their nautical themed Window is a delight as are their ranges of ladies clothing, shoes and accessories.

Eternal in Hove (page 12) have a wonderful selection of new and nearly new On Trend pieces. Take the hassle out of selling your pre loved clothing online and why not take them into Sally at Eternal where she will sell them for you, giving you a good return.

stereotypical branded products. The gift side of Spotted is collaboration between me and my husband Gary.

Fortunately we have very similar tastes when it comes to the things we stock and he joins me when we go to the European Shows which is great because I can get carried away and Gary’s a very good leveller!

Wherever possible we love to support British design and products that are not only designed in the UK but are manufactured here as well. We do however cast our net wide and source wonderfully unique things throughout the world. We hope you like what we spot!”

It was an absolute pleasure to meet Jess and Gary and have a browse around both shops, side by side in the Steyning High Street, I will definitely be back with some pennies to spend!

O

wners Jess and Gary, moved down to the idyllic town of Steyning from South London a few years ago, bringing with them their wealth of experience in retail, providing you with the opportunity to shop locally for fabulous fashion and exquisite pieces for your home, within budget and within reach! We caught up with Jess and got a bit of background info on who the inspiration is behind the scenes!

“Spotted says what we do basically, we spot products that offer great design and functionality. We put a lot of time and effort into finding interesting products and we personally travel across Europe visiting fairs and designers in our quest to find new and imaginative items. Our aim is to create an ever changing collection of beautiful things that do everyday things well. I predominantly do the buying for the fashion side aided by my 9 year old daughter Sacha who’s an aspiring fashion designer. In the holidays Sacha will join me on my London buying trips

and it’s great to share this new venture with her.

Sacha has wanted to be a fashion designer for over two years now and has a vast portfolio of designs which she hopes to have produced one day. The inspiration behind Spotted came from a desire to teach our young daughter that it is ok to be unique and different.

Peer pressure can be a huge burden when growing up and we wanted her to appreciate design and not just opt for

Holistic Therapist specialising in: Hopi Ear Candling, Hot Stone Massage, Sports Injury, Reflexology, Swedish Massage and Indian Head Massage

I

ntroducing Tracy Milton the owner and principle therapist at Soothing Touch with over 12 years of experience, my business is established and run in the West Sussex area.

My training started with standard Swedish body massage and then following completion of this I started my business (2012). Over the following years I continued my training and have added various therapy options including Sports Injury, Indian Head and most recently Hot Stone Therapy and Hopi Ear Candling.

I am passionate about treating people and seeing the benefits after each treatment, the majority of my

clients have been with me for many years and many of my clients have recommended me to others, which I feel is a real endorsement of my skills.

One of my most popular treatments is the Hot stone massage therapy, which melts away tension, eases muscle stiffness and increases circulation and metabolism. Each hot stone massage treatment promotes deeper muscle relaxation through the placement of smooth, water-heated stones at key points on the body.

This will also include a customised massage using the hot stones to work on problematic areas of the body which offers enhanced benefits.

The premise behind hot stone massage therapy is that the direct heat of the stones relaxes muscles, allowing the therapist access to their deeper muscle layers. Combining hot stone protocols with a full body massage provides a very healing and effective experience. The hot stones also expand blood vessels, which encourages blood flow throughout the body. The hot

stones have a sedative effect that can relieve chronic pain, reduce stress and promote deep relaxation.

Benefits of Hot Stone Massage: * Provides relief from pain associated with fibromyalgia, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome and other chronic conditions. * Decreases pain and muscle spasms. * Reduces chronic stress and tension. * Increases flexibility in joints, aiding in easier mobility and movement. * Relieves pain and tension created by strained and contracted muscles.

Treatment Costs: 50 mins £45 1.2 hours £65

Transformational “Desire Map” Weekend Workshop 13th and 14th June in Brighton This is a wonderful, inspiring, “Desire Map” Retreat, which has the effect of changing the way you view, and live, your life.

In this special place we’ll turn from endless goals and discover how you want to feel, every day.

When you get clarity on how you actually want to feel, decisions will be easier to make; you’ll be ready to live the life you really want; you’ll be more creative, open-hearted and optimistic.

You’ll do less striving and more living.

For all details on these enjoyable workshops and one to one coaching, please look at my website
