Arlingtons If you’re after a catch up with friends or just simply to celebrate that special occasion, then Arlingtons is definitely worth a visit.
The building which houses Arlingtons Brasserie has one of the most interesting and varied histories in Ipswich. It was originally opened in 1847 as the Ipswich Museum and HRH Prince Albert was the patron. Since the Museum moved the building has been many things, most famously The Arlingtons Ballroom. In the last three years this most stylish venue has been transformed into one of the town’s busiest and most popular dining destinations. Downstairs, the warm and friendly Café serves delicious home-made cakes and pastries with teas and fresh ground coffees. In the evening the café becomes a popular bar which is a magnet for the town’s young professionals. It not only boasts live music but is also a keen meeting point for many clubs and groups, including Poetry Anglia.
A planned extension to the café bar, coming in July, will allow even more scope for local groups to enjoy the comfortable surroundings and accommodate the lunch time rush. Upstairs is a bustling French Brasserie providing space enough for parties of over 100 and the gallery for more intimate dinning a deux. Serving food from breakfast to lunch through to afternoon tea and then on to dinner. Every weekend there is live unobtrusive music ranging from live piano through to acoustic guitar. With menus offering a range of classic French dishes and traditional English fare with novel surprises such as ‘basket of vegetables’.

Food in season Crab The season for crab is well underway, and reaches its glut later in the year around September. When buying ready-dressed crab, check that it contains just white crabmeat. Occasionally, these consist of mainly brown crabmeat, with a little of the more expensive white meat cunningly scattered over the top, making it look like there is more than there actually is. There’s often very little or no claw meat, either – this is mostly sold separately as a premium product. If you are able to get hold of a freshly cooked crab take the plunge and remove the meat from it yourself. It takes time and practice, but it’s worth the bother as a 1kg, well-picked cock crab will, on average, yield 250g white meat, plus plenty of brown meat. For a tasty snack try beating it into softened butter with a little lemon juice, some salt and cayenne pepper to taste. Chill until firm, and spread on warm toast.
Oyster mushrooms These are ear-like silvery-grey or greyish-brown mushrooms that grow in clumps or clusters. Luckily, they are now cultivated so are more readily available and found in most supermarkets. Oyster mushrooms have a subtle flavour and are often used in Oriental cookery such as stir-fried dishes, as the cap is thin and cooks quickly. Asian chefs simply tear the mushroom into desirable sizes before adding it to their woks. Despite their great flavour, they cook down to virtually nothing and are quite expensive, so are often used in combination with other mushrooms. For do-it-yourselfers, oyster mushrooms can be grown at home on a small scale from kits sold through seed catalogues and gardening magazines.
Loganberries A hybrid between a blackberry and a raspberry, the loganberry is a large soft dark-red berry, a little larger than a raspberry. It has a less subtle flavour than a raspberry and can be quite tart, so needs plenty of sugar when cooked in desserts. Use it as you would any other summer berry – eat fresh with sugar or cream, or add to desserts, jams and coulis. In savoury cooking, loganberries go particularly well with game dishes. 16

Eat. Drink. Stay Incredibly, milsoms in Dedham have been offering their award-winning eat, drink, stay formula for the last ten years and in this, their year of celebration, we thought we would pay a visit to experience the polished establishment for ourselves. Being Ipswich residents we have stayed and frequently eaten at Kesgrave Hall, but despite only being a brisk 15 minutes drive along the A12 this was our first trip to stay at milsoms. Reading up on their website before we set off, ‘relaxed flexibility’ seemed to be the order of the day. They make great play on the fact that you can arrive when you wish and dine at any 18
time, as the full menu is available all day. We arrived midday on Bank Holiday Monday so the restaurant, with dining areas outside and split over two levels indoors, was busy and filled with the sound of satisfied diners! Actually it’s easy to forget how close milsoms is, as, once you step through the door, it feels a world away; enabling you to start ‘recharging your batteries’ without the hassle of a long journey.

The footpath runs directly outside the hotel and within moments you drop into serene Constable countryside. We walked to the Dedham Boathouse using a supplied map and rented a boat to take us further down the river. The river would be great for wild swimming if you felt really brave; we however were just content rowing along between its picturesque banks. After a leisurely walk back to the hotel we settled down to a well-deserved late lunch on the restaurant’s terrace. As we have come to expect from a milsom’s menu the dishes on offer were inventive and exciting and we opted for Blackened Essex Bird Chicken Breast, Tabbouleh, Aubergine and Greek yogurt and Harissa (£14) and Thick Cut Scottish Hake, crushed potatoes, 19

Drinks to serve from a pitcher... Alfresco Elderflower Fizz Elderflower and Sauvignon Blanc have a natural affinity with each other, partly because of the similarity of the aroma. Rub two unwaxed lemons with the back of a knife to release some oils, and cut in half. Tip 200 ml elderflower cordial, lemons and 1 bottle of Sauvignon Blanc into a jug and refrigerate until you’re ready to drink. When you need it, add 750 ml sparkling water and ice, stir to combine and serve. If you like you can add a slice of lime, mint or borage to each glass after pouring. This makes enough for 10 delicious glassfuls!

Talent in focus Meet two of our best local photographers
claudia@claudia-gannon.com +44 (0)7859 056717 www.claudia-gannon.com
What do you specialise in? I like to photograph people, so I specialise in portraits for company websites, or annual reports or case studies and other corporate materials. I also do PR and Event photography, for example covering a new product launch, or exhibitions & events for foreign embassies. My real passion is food photography and am moving more and more toward that direction which is really exciting.
How would you describe your style? I favour natural light and generally simple lighting setups whether studio or natural. I've worked as an assistant on complex setups, especially car shoots, Subaru, Toyota & others, they are incredibly time consuming and challenging, but sometimes just a window makes the nicest light for a portrait.
What’s the secret to taking perfect photographs? Oh I think there are several things that are important when creating an image, lighting is really important, it gives the photo a certain mood and feel. Engaging with your subject is also really important, being able to make people laugh and make the experience of having your picture taken fun. 24
Which of your photo’s are you most proud of and why? As a photographer I'm always moving onto new challenges and also coming back to old ones. Favourites pop up as your career progresses and I have lots, most are portraits, though I'm most proud of some of the food shots. Believe it or not getting food to look good on camera is not easy. I recently had the chance to go up in a helicopter and took some shots of Suffolk, which was great fun and I managed not to throw up! Who would you most like to photograph? Its got to be Johnny Depp! What has been your most embarrassing moment as a photographer? Not so much an embarrassing moment behind the camera, but in front of it. I'll just say that for a laugh, I ended up in a competition and shots of me in a bikini were printed in the News of The World along with a rather creative "quotation"; little did I know that my future mother in law read that paper every Sunday!
Wendy Hicks (BA Photography & MSc CCI Open) +44 (0)7790 615382 wendy@wphotography.biz www.wphotography.biz
What do you specialise in? Commercial Property Photography (see www.wphotography.biz) but personally I really enjoy doing more contemporary art photography (see www.harrisonhicks.com) which gives you the freedom to experiment.
How would you describe your style? Versatile, but if anyone can tell me more that would be great.
What’s the secret to taking perfect photographs? Getting the light and composition right and take it with your third eye!
Which of your photo’s are you most proud of and why? Spin Off – A dance group for dancers with learning or physical disabilities (photo taken at technical rehearsal of High Voltage at the New Wolsey Theatre), June 2008. I was most proud of it as dance photography is technically difficult as the light and bodies are constantly moving and changing at speed. Also, I wanted to show how talented the dancers were, and I think I achieved that.
Who would you most like to photograph? The Queen informally.
What has been your most embarrassing moment as a photographer? Dropping my camera during a shoot (ouch!). 25

The Lion roars again!
The orientation of the bar within the newly created Bar & Brasserie is very impressive; it runs along the complete length of the far left wall of the hotel and replaces the former bar and function room. Now, with the dramatic alterations, light floods the whole of the Brasserie area and the clever addition of a glass partitions gives the impression of a separate space away from the Bar.
Suffolk-based hotel group, Thorpeness & Aldeburgh Hotels has recently completed a major refurbishment of The White Lion Hotel in Aldeburgh. This is no ordinary refurbishment however; the internal space has been completely re-imagined, filling the public rooms with light and making it a stylish and contemporary 21st Century hotel. In places, the hotel resembles the Brudenell Hotel with strong nautical themes and subtle designs, which are both comfortable and modern. The blues, green and ochres used in the soft furnishings reflect the coastal colours viewed from the window. This is especially the case with the sea-front bedrooms which we saw during our visit, and have the added advantage of, at once, feeling muted and restful. 30
We visited on a weekday and were seated at a window table looking out onto the iconic Aldeburgh beach; it was great to look out at the huge sky without the coastal wind that is so frequently present on the seafront. The food was impressive. Head Chef, Jason Shaw, has created a menu that is both inventive and varied with plenty to tempt you after a jaunt in the sea air. There are platters for two, together with simple and tasty fish, meat and vegetarian dishes. The menu, interestingly, features a map of the local suppliers from which Jason sources his fresh, seasonal produce and the prix-fixe menu at ÂŁ11.95 for two courses and ÂŁ15.95 for three is fantastic value for money. Once we had ordered we were served freshly baked rosemary bread with oil and balsamic vinegar, which I tried not to eat, but failed as it was incredibly fresh and crusty and complemented the oil effortlessly!
We started with a beautifully presented dish of asparagus, salmon and hollandaise; garnished with a wedge of lemon it was uncomplicated and delicious. Keeping our choices to Brasserie classics, we opted for Moules Marinière that creatively included mange tout and freshly cut herbs, and were served with frites and aïoli (£10.95) and steak frites, sirloin served with a large field mushroom, slow roasted tomato and Béarnaise sauce (£17.50). To finish, it had to be Lemon Posset (from the prix-fixe menu) and Crêpes Suzette... simply mouth-watering. All the courses were served very simply, which really showcased the quality of the ingredients and the skill of the kitchen - as stated on the menu ‘Our new Brasserie has been inspired by a modern desire to return to simple “back to basics” food, offering freshly prepared dishes, contemporary, informal surroundings and impeccable service’
WIN A FABULOUS WEEKEND FOR TWO AT THE WHITE LION We have teamed up with The White Lion to offer readers a chance to win a weekend for two people, which includes breakfast each morning and dinner on one night of the guest's stay.

The prize must be taken before 30th November 2011.
Perfect for a family meal, a leisurely lunch or just a drink, The White Lion is well worth a visit.

Latitude festival highlights On 14th – 17th July in the sumptuous surrounds of the Suffolk countryside, the welcoming daisy-adorned gates will open for the sixth edition of the magical and fantastical Latitude Festival. Henham Park Estate, Southwold. Latitude encompasses all aspects of the art and music worlds it is the only place that brings together the best in music, literature, comedy, poetry, film, theatre, cabaret, art, dance, opera and fashion for one spectacular weekend. With an unrivalled line-up taking shape, Latitude 2011 will be another exhilarating, scintillating and inspirational festival of fun. With so much on offer we thought we would pull out our top picks of the festival... The cast from BAFTA-winning E4 hit series, Misfits will be well worth catching. Fresh from filming the third series, the cast and creative team will share some of their favourite moments from the show so far.
For those of you who have been living under a stone for the last couple of years, Misfits follows five outsiders on community service who get struck by a flash storm and lumbered with special powers. Hard as nails Kelly (Lauren Socha) can suddenly hear people’s thoughts, shamed sporting hero Curtis (Nathan Stewart Jarrett) discovers he has the ability to turn back time when he regrets something, and party girl Alisha (Antonia Thomas) can send people into a sexual frenzy when they touch her skin. Even painfully shy Simon (Iwan Rheon) can make himself invisible when he feels he’s being ignored, which makes it all the more hard to swallow for smart aleck Nathan (Robert Sheehan), who seems to have been unaffected, much to his dismay. Also don’t miss... Camille O’Sullivan, she enjoys a formidable international reputation for her intensely dramatic interpretations of the songs of Brel, Cave, Waits, Bowie and more. The award-winning singer has stunned audiences around the world with her 5-star sell-out performances, including Sydney Opera House, London’s Royal Festival Hall and appearance on ‘Later... with Jools Holland’ Backed by her talented band, expect fire, ice, darkness, joy and pure passion.
44
Finally, something on the cutting edge… London Contemporary Orchestra draws together London’s brightest young talent to explore and promote new music to an increasingly wide audience. For Latitude the LCO Soloists showcase works by three American mavericks. Steve Reich’s ‘Different Trains’ contrasts the crosscontinent trains of Reich’s American childhood with the cattle trucks to Auschwitz, using fragmented recollections from three Holocaust survivors, Reich’s governess and recordings of the trains. ‘Four’ by John Cage stands as a beautifully simple statement, illustrative of his late period. Completing the programme are three visceral movements from Frank Zappa’s ‘The Yellow Shark’, the last album to be released before Zappa’s death in 1993, these are ‘III Revised’; ‘None of the Above’ and ‘Questi Cazzi di Piccione’.
& Sebastian at last year’s festival expect something truly special for this year’s event. Weekend tickets £170.00, Day tickets Fri, Sat, Sun £70.00, Child ticket (5-12 years) £5.00 including. Weekend tickets prices include car parking and camping. Day tickets include car parking only Credit Card line: 0871 231 0821 Online: www.festivalrepublic.com www.seetickets.com www.latitudefestival.co.uk

Sweet Dreams When the daily news and weather combine to make getting out of bed a less-than-inviting prospect, you might as well stay just where you are. A comfy bed, plenty of soft bedding and some fresh linen are the only requirements for serious downtime. And, since both quantity and quality of sleep impact on health and wellbeing, the world just might seem a better place for it. Mattress & bedding A good mattress can last up to ten years or more, so this is one area where it’s a good idea to pay for quality – and try before you buy. There are a range of different types of mattress: open string, pocket sprung, latex or memory foam – and the best way to work out what suits you is to try lying down on a few.
softness, others prefer synthetic or hollowfibre fillings which can be washed more easily, and may be better for allergies. Different weights or ‘togs’ of duvets may be appropriate for different seasons, too – spend a little time in the bedding section of your local department store, and do your homework before you buy.
It’s also worth investing in good-quality bedding – you’ll use your duvet and pillows every night, so you need them to be both comfortable and durable.
Athena Bed Linen So versatile, it's a must-have, classic design that will suit most room schemes – chic and unfussy, it's particularly perfect in sleek monochrome room schemes. From £65 for a single duvet cover www.frenchbedroomcompany.co.uk
Again, the type of bedding you choose is a matter of personal choice. Some people prefer natural feather or down fillings for

Buy British! Never before has it been more important to support our British economy. As the credit crunch continues to bite for some British businesses, we asked leading Suffolk kitchen manufacturer, Anglia Factors, why they felt there was a fast-growing trend for patriotism, and why the nation’s consumers are now even more committed to buying British than ever before. Daniel Barr, Managing Director at Anglia Factors, commented: “I think a large proportion of the population has always preferred to buy British, but are now even more inclined to do so as a result of the current economy. It is a case of supporting UK companies in tougher times.” He added: “We’ve been trading for over 40 years from our showroom in Suffolk and we are proud that we employ all our own craftsmen and installers. Customers associate British products with creative design and they feel far more confident purchasing from a British company,
People much prefer to invest in products that will stand the test of time, that are long lasting and of a higher quality. It’s great to see that customers are currently favouring the high quality of British-made products, helping to give a welcome boost to the UK economy.” Anglia Factors manufactures from their headquarters in Martlesham Heath, near Ipswich. With the showroom only next door; it allows clients the luxury of remaining closely involved from initial concept through to the manufacture, installation and project management.

Fred on Film June and July are set to be brilliant months for comic book film fans. June kicks off with ‘X-Men: First Class’. Set in 1962 amidst the Cuban missile crisis, it revolves around the young mutants who went on to become the wheelchair-bound Professor X and the funny-helmet-wearing Magneto. It’s one to get excited about, not least because it’s directed by Matthew Vaughn (director of ‘Layer Cake’ and ‘Kick-Ass’). On 17th June we are treated to ‘The Green Lantern’ starring Ryan Reynolds as a (sort of) average Joe pilot who finds a special ring (nothing to do with Mordor) and becomes Earth’s ambassador against the evil of the Universe. ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’ is out on 29th July and looks to be the perfect introduction to this classic superhero and is a must-watch for anyone looking forward to ‘The Avengers’ set to be released next year. There are alternatives to the comic book blockbusters. Playing at The Riverside in June are ‘Hanna’, the modern fairytale style coming of age young girl assassin story (that old chestnut) and ‘Oranges & Sunshine’, the uplifting tale of the forced migration of children during the war and the social worker who sought to reunite them with their families. My highlight for June is The Regal Theatre’s 75th Anniversary. To celebrate, from 1st-7th July The Regal in Stowmarket is charging entrance to all their films at 1936 prices; just five pence! Tickets are on sale from 1pm on Sunday 5th June. Beats Orange Wednesdays hands down. Fred Marlowe is a projectionist and writes regular film reviews at

Ajami (15) 29th June 19.30
Dir: Scandar Copti & Yaron Shani, 2010, Israel, 120 mins. With Fouad Habash, Nisrine Rihan, Elias Saba, Youssef Sahwani. With two directors - one Palestinian, the other Israeli - this is a balanced and sympathetic portrayal of life in Ajami, a tough neighbourhood in Jaffa where Jews, Arabs and Christians live cheek by jowl. Omar, Malek and Binj may have separate stories but are destined to a shared fate in a society fraught with conflict and danger, where the police are viewed with universal mistrust. Nominated for an Oscar in the Best Foreign Film category and praised as a modern Israeli classic without political bias.
