Cake products for Cake Decoration
by Chelsi Woolz

Nothing brings more satisfaction than being able to create your own masterpiece. Decorating cakes and making chocolate shapes is a great way to express creativity and bring joy into the lives around you. There are many companies that offer cake decorating and candy making products that will make creating your masterpieces even easier.

Everyone knows the most important part of the cake is the foundation. The way your cake is prepared determines how well the finished product will be. Be sure to use a cake tray that is specifically meant for cake decorators and that has straight sides. This will ensure a smooth decorating surface. After a cake is baked often times the cake domes up in the center and has to be trimmed. To remedy this you can purchase baking strips that are wet strips placed around the edge of the cake pan. These moist strips keep the temperature consistent throughout the cake and prevent the 'dome' effect. If your cake does become domed, you can use a cake leveller to make the top level. Simply move the wire on the leveller to the desired height and use a sawing motion to cut off the excess.

There are two different ways to decorate a cake - icing and fondant. If you are planning to use icing, there are many products to help your cake look spectacular. Meringue powder is a great tool to add to butter-cream icing. This helps the frosting "crust", and the frosting can be easily smoothed with a sheet of parchment paper. An icing comb can also help make the cake look more professional. To use this tool, simply hold it parallel to the side of the cake, and twirl the cake as you scrape off the excess icing. This will create a beautiful design that will mask any flaws in the cake. Decorating tips can then be used to complete the decoration of the cake.

If you are decorating the cake with fondant, there are many different tools that can be used to make this process easier. To roll out the fondant, a silicon cutting and rolling mat can be used. This keeps the fondant from sticking and becoming difficult to work with. It's important to have the fondant the same thickness all the way around. A rolling pin with thickness guides can be used to help keep your fondant the same thickness. Simply choose the desired thickness, and slide the thickness ring onto each end of the rolling pin, and the fondant will come out exactly the same thickness. You can then decorate with icing, or more fondant. To place fondant shapes on the cake you can use fondant cut-outs.

Making chocolate is not without its own set of products for your convenience. Chocolate dipping sets make chocolates that look a lot more professional, and that are less messy. Silicon moulds make removing poured chocolates easier. And to add that extra touch, decorating squeeze bottles allow you to drizzle another color of chocolate on top. Whatever you're creating, you're sure to be able to find a lot of great products to help you on your way.

Kettle Corn

2/3 cup raw popcorn
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup sugar

Place oil and popcorn in a large skillet that has a tight fitting lid. The popcorn should barely cover the bottom surface. Heat over medium until the first kernel starts to pop. Quickly stir in the sugar until dissolved. Cover and continuously shake skillet while holding top. Be careful, this will burn
much quicker than regular popcorn. When you think all is popped, remove from heat. Spoon the popped corn into a bowl while shaking once in a while to let the uncooked kernels settle. Salt lightly, and break up into pieces.
(Note: This may take a little practice, but well worth the effort!)

Why Do Make-Ahead Recipes Work So
Well To Reduce Your Dinner Party Stress?

By: Dipak


One of the "tricks" I find most useful for hosting stress-free dinner parties is to make some of the recipes ahead. I find that too many last minute jobs can overwhelm me, so I plan ahead to eliminate as many as possible.

The more dishes you can prepare a day or some hours before guests ring your doorbell, the more you reduce your stress. Here are some reasons:

  • You avoid a last minute crisis if preparation takes longer than you thought it would.


  • If you like to cook, you'll have the leisure to enjoy what you're doing instead of feeling frantic about a deadline.


  • You have time to clean up after you cook.


  • If there is a disaster, say you burn something, you have plenty of time to come up with an alternate plan.


  • If you have prepared the dessert ahead, you don't need to leave the table for a long stretch just when the conversation is getting really interesting.


Put your imagination to work for you! Try to imagine your way through the last minute jobs you will have to get dinner on the table, and reduce them to a minimum you feel comfortable with. It helps to think about what all those last minute jobs are: setting out the ice water pitcher, lighting the candles, putting items in serving dishes and getting the guests to the table.

By the way, many of these are jobs that your guests can do.

What is your level of tolerance for last minute jobs?
Now ask yourself what your level of tolerance is for last minute jobs?
If it is low, then you should think about finding some recipes that absolutely minimize any last minute work. This is especially true if you are an inexperienced cook.

Some of the recipes I rely on are make-ahead, and some are just items that I can bring home from the store and put out in nice serving dishes.

Some cooks even make everything ahead. If you love stews, lasagna and casseroles, then you could do that too.

But I often prefer serving a delicious roast of lamb or beef or chicken as the special item on the menu. Luckily these dishes are ones you can put in the oven and leave to themselves while you do other things.

If you can add potatoes and vegetables to the roast while it cooks you have almost all of the advantages of make-ahead. Once you pop them in the oven beside the roast you can pretty well ignore them until they are cooked.

So I tend to focus on finding appetizers, salads, side dishes and desserts that I can make ahead, or set out straight from the store, or vegetables I can cook alongside a roast. Then I can concentrate on the last minute items like slicing a roast, making gravy, and getting things on the table.

Probably the most important category for me is appetizers. I find it too stressful to be fussing at cooking something while the doorbell is ringing. If you are hosting by yourself you may find the same.

So I try to have a repertoire of make-ahead or buy-ahead appetizer recipes that work for me. Often I serve more than one, since some of my guests like to stick to very light appetizers, and others enjoy heartier ones.

You can build your repertoire of make ahead recipes for your home dinner parties.
I suggest you start with appetizers. If you want to see some of my favorites, just go to my Make-Ahead Appetizers page on my website.

Enjoy minimizing your hosting stress and watching your guests' eyes light up at the sight of your tasty, well presented appetizers.

Selecting the Right Tools for the Kitchen
by: Jane Taylor


It's not just first impressions that count with customers. Tarnished silverware, old pots and pans and dated appliances all have the ability to make your patrons feel unhappy with their dining experience. In many cases, seasoned restaurateurs would attest that aside from the actual dining room, the kitchen comes a close second when people are determining whether they've had an enjoyable experience.

Selecting the right kitchen tools and utensils is imperative to putting your best foot forward with your customers. Needless to say, it is crucial that you take the time to research your purchases before making the investment. Not only will you have a well run kitchen, but you will be able to present your kitchen as an addition to the dining room instead of hiding it away behind closed doors.

When selecting your kitchen equipment, there are few items that you just can't skimp on if you want to have an efficient kitchen.

Pots and Pans: For any professional, their utensils are like pieces of art. This appreciation will rub off on to your customers. By selecting a wide variety of solid, quality made pots and pans, your cooks and chefs will be inspired to create great dishes that will keep patrons coming back for more.

Knives: Any chef will tell you that it's not "service" that takes up most of their time. It's the preparation. Working with substandard knives not only takes chefs far longer to prepare, but the actual presentation of the food is sometimes lacking. When purchasing knives, make sure they are made of high quality materials, come with a warranty and are easy to sharpen and maintain.

Appliances: Think of the appliances you have in your kitchen at home. You'll need all of these items and more for a commercial kitchen. Dishwashers, microwaves, blenders and grillers are all essentials. When researching these items, take into consideration the warranties, support and service as well as pricing.

But one of the key pieces of equipment you'll be buying is the gas stove. There are many varieties of burners all with different heat outputs and intensities. Many proprietors choose to use natural gas, but in more remote areas, owners often use gas tanks.

When purchasing your gas cook top, ask the supplier about additional accessories you will need for the equipment to run efficiently. You'll most likely need hoses, connector kits, casters and some other bits and pieces.

After all the research is done and the purchases have been made, your staff can now make wonderful dishes that customers will keep returning for time and time again.

Slow Cooker Soup Recipes
By: Robert92 Donnelly92


Easy chicken slow cooker recipes

Want to save time and money? Then the slow cooker is for you! Yes, the handy little appliance which has been around since the early 1970's is making a comeback! In this day and age where most families have both partners working and have children as well, the slow cooker is more appealing than ever as it leaves valuable time to spend with children or friends whilst the food is cooking. By spending only 10 - 15 minutes preparing a meal first thing in the morning when you are still fresh, the slow cooker does the rest, gently cooking your meal over 8 - 10 hours. So when you have run out of steam - leave it to the slow cooker to prepare a delicious and nutritious meal.

Slow cooker chicken recipes are not only easy, but the variety of recipes is limitless as well as mouthwatering. These include chicken dumplings, chicken rice, baked continental chicken, chicken wings, chicken stroganoff, Coq au Vin, chicken with mushroom wine dressing, chicken cordon bleu, whole roast chickens, to name but a few. The chicken soups and stews are also ideal for the slow cooker and the use of herbs in slow cooker recipes adds wonderful flavor because the cooking process seems to intensify the flavor more so than conventional cooking methods.

Slow cooker recipes are also very economical as expensive fillets don't have to be used due to the slow cooking/ low temperature principle. Most chicken dishes use drumsticks, chicken pieces or whole chickens and because of the lengthy cooking times, these cuts turn into the most tender and delectable cuts full of flavor and aroma.

Whilst the good old chicken roast is one of the most popular slow cooker chicken dishes, there are many slow cooker recipes available which with a twist of modern ingredients turn simple recipes into very contemporary, and stylish meals. One such recipe is Chicken Pilaf with Sundried Tomato & Rocket. This dish uses either chicken breasts or chicken pieces. Modern ingredients such sun-dried tomato, basmati or wild rice make this a gourmet meal. This dish is also ideal if particularly busy as it will not be affected by over cooking if inadvertently cooked for longer than the specified time. You will however, need to top up the pot with a little extra hot chicken stock.

Chicken Pilaf with Sundried Tomato & Rocket

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 chicken pieces or 4 large chicken fillets (either breast or thigh)
1 large onion, roughly chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
410g (13 oz) can chopped tomatoes
60g (3 oz) sun-dried tomatoes drained and sliced (semi sun dried can also be used)
2 ½ teaspoons pesto sauce
600ml (1 pint) hot chicken stock
150g (50z) basmati rice
50g (20z) wild rice (if prefer to only use basmati rice, then extra 50g is required)
salt and pepper
Parmesan or Romano Cheese
rocket salad to serve

Method:
Preheat the slow cooker. Heat the oil in a frying pan or skillet. Fry the chicken until browned. Remove form the pan with a slotted spoon and reserve on a plate. Fry the onion and garlic together until soft. Add the canned tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes and pesto sauce. Season with salt and pepper and bring to the boil. Pour into the slow cooker, then stir in the hot stock.
Rinse the rice well, then stir into the slow cooker. Arrange the chicken pieces on top of the rice, pressing them just below the level of the liquid so that they don't dry out during cooking. Cover with the lid and cook on High for 2 ½- 3 hours until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the rice is tender.
Spoon on to serving plates and serve sprinkled, shaved cheese and rocket salad.

Homemade Barbecue Sauce - The Definitive Guide
by Lewis T

The time to start thinking about cooking BBQ is in the Spring and Summer time, with the warm days ahead and fun social gatherings with your friends and family, there is no better time to turn your attention to making these occasions special by learning how to cook something new.

Creating your own homemade barbecue sauce is straightforward once you have mastered the basics and learned how to combine various kitchen ingredients to make your own favorite sauce.

No doubt you, or members in your family had their own favorite homemade barbecue sauces that they grew up with, well now is your chance to get involved and enjoy learning something new, how to make your own personal favorite homemade barbecue sauce.

Here are the basic components of a homemade barbecue sauce.

The barbecue sauce base
Regardless of what type of barbecue sauce you are going to make, you will need a "base" before you can begin. Ideal bases for making a good BBQ sauce are favorites such as number 10 ketchup sauce, honey, mustard, brown sauce and fruit purée sauce bases.

Consistency of the homemade sauce base is one of the main things that you should be looking at when considering making your own BBQ sauce. You want to avoid the base from being too runny or too thick, and this is one of the reasons why using a suitable ketchup is a great place to start experimenting because it gives you a little less to think about initially and will allow you to let your creative juices flow as you consider and use the ingredients that will make up your sauce.

The #10 ketchup is one of the most popular sauce bases to use as it has the ideal consistency and acidity that complements BBQ food by giving a clean edge, or zing, to the flavor. Many pre-bought sauces will not match up to your own personal favorite once you have developed your very own homemade barbecue sauce.

If you were considering making something that had a fruitier flavor, you can use a pre-made fruit sauce and use that as your base for a slightly sweeter and fruitier flavor and adjust it to your taste, using other ingredients. Alternatively, you could use a small quantity of ketchup base and then sweat down fruit and create your own fruit purée to add to your sauce.

Acidity
Acidity is very important in a homemade barbecue sauce as its presence provides a clean-tasting zing that prepares and excites the taste buds. Controlling this acidity is important and a matter of personal preference, and experimentation with fruit-infused vinegars, such as cider, apple and raspberry all offer unique and distinct flavors that complement any homemade barbecue sauce.

You can make your own fruit-infused vinegars very easily by purchasing a good quality white wine vinegar, adding some to a sterilized bottle along with raw fruits of choice, seal, and allow to soak slowly, in a cool and dark place for 1 or 2 months.

Once the fruit has had enough time to break down in the vinegar, you find that it has taken on a pleasant fruity tang and can be used in not only your homemade barbecue sauce, but also in a salad dressing along with a little olive oil. Remember that a little goes a long way.

Other ingredients that will complement your homemade barbecue sauce base, are seasoning's and vegetables that will add a distinctness to it and separate it from the typical, off-the-shelf variety. Worcestershire sauce for example, adds a low-down meaty flavor and is similar in color to soy sauce, though it tastes nothing like soy sauce at all. Widely used, Worcestershire sauce has a slightly spicy tang to it as well as a dark color that will deepen the color of the sauce that you are making.

Other great ingredients are Tabasco sauce for example that adds a mildly hot, fruity pepper flavor and is excellent as a component for sauces that are going to be used on chicken, baby back ribs and chicken wings. If you want to try a slightly milder alternative to Tabasco, Cholula hot sauce is similar in flavor, though slightly less piquant to its hotter counterpart.

For a full and more rounded flavor you can add sauces similar to Texas Pete's hot sauce, which has a fairly thick ketchup-like consistency and adds a broad and mild mix of spices. Once again, there are many alternatives to thick sauces that you can add to your homemade barbecue sauce, and it is worthwhile experimenting with them in very small batches and pick out the flavors that excite your taste-buds the most.
Read the labels, pick out the flavors and aromas that appeal to you and then note them down for future use.

Seasonings
Now that you have the base of your homemade barbecue sauce well under way, you can take a look at the spices, salt, pepper and sugar that will be used in relatively small quantities to give your BBQ sauce its own distinct flavor.

If you haven't used a particular seasoning before start off by using small quantities to avoid over-powering your first homemade barbecue sauce.

Cinnamon for example is a particularly strong bark-like spice that is also available in ground form. Use it like salt, by adding a little at a time until you get the balance right with the other flavors. Use too much and you will find that just like salt, the cinnamon will almost certainly overpower everything else you have in your sauce. Unless you particularly like cinnamon, use it very sparingly.

Here is a short list of seasoning's that you can use in your homemade barbecue sauce to give you some ideas.

Spices such as cayenne, Jamaican jerk seasoning, red pepper flakes (in moderation), clove, cinnamon, ground ginger, coriander, garlic, mango powder, mustard, paprika, cumin, oregano, and parsley are all excellent choices.

Whole seeded chili peppers such as Chipotle adds a dark and smoky flavor, Habanera and Scotch Bonnet peppers add a lot of heat along with a delicious fruit flavor, red bell peppers for great fruitiness but little heat, Serrano and similar long carrot-shaped chilies also offer a nice fruit flavor along with a mild-heat.

Sweetness
To add sweetness if necessary to your homemade barbecue sauce, you can use sugars and sweeteners that suit your personal preference. Palm sugar has a unique and distinct flavor that has an Eastern influence, cane sugar, molasses and dark brown sugar are also widely used.
You can use any sugars that you prefer, though darker sugars generally have more flavor and are more suitable for use in a BBQ sauce. More exotic sweeteners such as passion fruit and guava syrups can also be used to good effect, along with regular honey and golden syrup.
If your homemade barbecue sauce is going to be used to baste your meats and poultry during cooking over a hot grill, remember that the high sugar content can burn easily and it will invariably result in blackened food.
Take this into account when cooking your food and adjust your technique accordingly. Using the "low-and-slow" method of cooking is the perfect way to cook food that is coated in a high sugar content BBQ sauce.

Salt
Salt is a very important part of cooking, seasoning any food improves the flavor and when used in BBQ sauces, it is used in the same manner, to add flavor and also balance the sweetness and acidity. Use salt sparingly during the last 15 minutes of reduction time to adjust the taste to your liking by allowing the salt to cook through the sauce slowly, while stirring continuously.
Taste a small amount of the sauce, not forgetting to allow it to cool first beforehand, and determine whether you have reached the right balance.
It all comes down to a matter of personal preference that is based on our upbringing and regional influences. Use the ingredients and flavors that talk to your taste buds, experiment and make it your own unique homemade barbecue sauce.

Thickeners
To prevent yourself from making the most common mistake when creating your first homemade barbecue sauce, avoid the addition of sauce thickeners such as corn starch, gelatin, flour, butter and cream as these will impair the flavor and potentially ruin your BBQ sauce.

Thickeners are not required as your homemade barbecue sauce will be thickened naturally by the evaporation of liquids, and reduced gently on a relatively low heat in a saucepan until the ideal consistency is achieved.

Making your homemade barbecue sauce
This section is not designed to be a particular recipe, just some basic guidelines in the preparation of your homemade barbecue sauce.

To start with you will need a pan large enough to hold all of your ingredients with some room to spare to allow the BBQ sauce to bubble gently without overflowing onto your cooker, and now add the following ingredients;

500ml of #10 ketchup 50ml cider vinegar 1 large onion coarsely chopped 2 large garlic gloves, finely chopped 1 thumb sized piece of ginger, finely sliced 1 tsp Tabasco sauce 1 tbls passion-fruit syrup 1 tsp coriander powder 1 tsp cumin powder 2 finely chopped seeded hot red chilies 1 tbls brown sugar Salt to taste

Once you have all of the ingredients in the pan, stir until thoroughly combined and raise the temperature of the pan until it achieves a boil then immediately reduce the heat so that the mixture is just simmering very gently around the edges of the pan.

Do not cover the pan and stir occasionally with a plastic or wooden spoon, checking for any sauce that may have start to stick to the bottom of the pan. If the sauce begins to stick, reduce the heat a little, stir, and check again in a few minutes. Refrain from adding water during cooking as this will only serve to prolong the reduction process.

The reduction process can take up to 4 hours depending on your ingredients and desired sauce consistency. Allow plenty of time for making your homemade barbecue sauce prior to use, preferably allowing 24 hours for the sauce to cool properly and allow the ingredients to finally combine and stabilize the flavors before use.

Your BBQ sauce can be prepared and refrigerated ahead of use using a sterilized jar or suitable air-tight jar making it ideal for continued use if you are going to have several barbecues during the week. Your homemade barbecue sauce will be at its best for up to a week if stored in the refrigerator.

A Sparkling Trip To Bollinger

By: Richard Davis


Normally, trips to wine suppliers are very hard work (no, honestly) and the preserve of our buying team, trying to find the best cuvées at the best prices. However, occasionally we are given the opportunity to take our other staff on fact-finding visits, which are great fun, if a little hectic.

In February, we took a group to visit the world-renowned Champagne house of Bollinger. Such a treasured visit demanded the most treasured staff, so we identified our ‘unsung heroes’ at the company’s front line, who regularly go out of their way to give extra special service to our customers. Hence, at a really unsociable early hour on a cold February morning, some of our sales, accounts, warehouse and shop staff flew out to Paris to meet the people who make Bollinger.

A two-hour drive from Charles de Gaul Airport brought us to the home of Bollinger in the stylish little town of Ay, which was covered with a light dusting of snow. Ay is the most famous Grand Cru village in Champagne, located some 30km from Reims. We had an exquisite lunch at the house of Madame Lilly Bollinger, where the history and ethos of the company was explained.

Madame Lilly Bollinger is one of the most famous figures in Champagne’s history. In 1918 Elizabeth Law de Lauriston Bourbers (known as Lilly) married Jacques Bollinger, head of a small but growing Champagne house. When Jacques died in 1941, Lilly took the reigns and famously traveled the world, spreading the word about Bollinger. In many respects she was a true pioneer in creating an internationally recognised brand. Lilly was also a great spokeswoman for the Champagne region as a whole, leaving several infamous quotes.

"I drink it when I'm happy and when I’m sad. Sometimes I drink it when I'm alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I’m not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise, I never touch it – unless I’m thirsty." Madame Lilly Bollinger, Daily Mail 17th October 1961

Today the success of Lilly’s promotional endeavours is clear from the prestige and familiarity of Bollinger Champagne. However, it was a surprise to most to learn just how small their volumes are in the great scheme of things, producing just 2.1m of Champagne’s total annual output of 300m bottles. They remain, in essence a small, artisan producer.

We visited the coopers’ workshop, the last one in Champagne where wooden barrels are still made, repaired and restored. Seeing a workshop with such ancient tools, and complete lack of machinery indicated the depth of craftsmanship and skill that was being preserved, not for the tourists, but out of necessity. A tour of the vast chalk cellars beneath the village showed how manual the whole process is, with teams of cellar men manually racking the reserve bottles. Seeing such quantities of precious Champagne, gently maturing in the perfect conditions, was humbling. We emerged from these labyrinthine cellars into the winery, several streets away, and into a very different world of immaculate white tiles and stainless steel - the absolute epitome of hygienic, up-to-date wine-making. This was where the ancient crafts met the modern world.

It’s only now that we realised that we had spent many hours, discovering the different delights, rapt with attention at the details of production and historic facts being offered. We had been transported to a different world for a day, completely removed from ours, yet the fruits of which we would enjoy by opening a bottle at home. An evening in Reims was followed by a morning flight back to reality and work. But the general impression from all was one of awe, at the passion and detail that goes into making a bottle of Champagne that we may have taken for granted before. Suddenly, the price of a bottle of Bollinger seems remarkably good value for money. So if you ever call the Averys office to ask about Champagne to be met with an effusive story about how it is made, you’re probably talking to one of the lucky staff who came on this trip.

You can buy Bollinger online Averys Dot Com where we are currently listing the UK’s best price for Bollinger Special Cuvee NV- just £25 per bottle.

by Jenni Ovington

It's no secret the cost of buying in fresh fruits and vegetables has risen sharply over the last couple of years. In tough times, it is the food budget that gets hit first when faced with high mortgage payments, credit card bills and the exorbitant price of heating a home. It can be tempting to cut out the higher priced healthy foods in favour of the 5 for £4 ready meals, yet it doesn't have to be this way.

Buying fresh fruit and vegetables in season is the key to maintaining a healthy diet for your family. The reason behind this is simple. For example, when strawberries are in abundance in June, the supermarkets can buy in bulk and then pass the savings onto you. Take advantage of this abundance and you could eat like a king!

You don't just have to eat the foods fresh as they become available cheaply. Stretch the food budget even further by freezing, canning or using the vegetables in combination with staple items.

Let's take the versatile Leek as our example vegetable. At any other time of the year, leeks can be pricey but in March is when you want to look out for them cheaply. Find the best price you can and buy several. From here, you can look up your favourite cookbook recipes for suggestions on what to do with leeks. I personally love to do this because it gives variety to your core set of meals you regularly cook.

The obvious choice for many is to make potato and leek soup. It's cheap, filling and freezes fantastically. You can also use leeks in a stir fry, in beef or chicken casseroles, in your slow cooker or even roasted with root vegetables. Leeks can easily be frozen as well. Simply cut off the tops, slice them lengthways to wash out any grit or soil and freeze as little logs. You can even start a vegetable stock 'ziploc' bag with the tops of the leeks in your freezer. Just keep adding the tops and tails of other vegetables and when the bag is full, make a wonderful vegetable stock for soups.

Below is a list of fruits and vegetables according to the month they should be the cheapest:

January - Bramley apples, winter cabbage, swede, carrots, sweet potato, beetroot, blood oranges, pears, forced rhubarb, seville oranges, turnips

February -parsnips, celeriac, chicory, cauliflower, shallots, purple sprouting broccoli, kale, kiwi

March - leeks, maincrop rhubarb, spring greens, lamb's lettuce, radish, spring onions

April - cucumber, wild rocket, mushrooms, lettuce, spinach, artichokes

May - asparagus, apricots, Jersey Royal potatoes, chives, mint, watercress

June - courgettes, strawberries, romaine lettuce, broad beans, navel oranges, basil, peas, gooseberries, tayberries

July - cherries, blueberries, aubergine, peaches, fennel, mangetout, chard, french beans

August - peppers, melon, tomatoes, raspberries, broccoli, runner beans, lettuce, loganberries

September - damsons, plums, blackberries, apples, figs, sweetcorn, garlic, onions

October - mushrooms, pumpkins, marrows, watercress, acorn squash

November - brussel sprouts, celeriac, beetroot, quince, tangerines, cranberries, butternut squash

December -pomegranate, celery, red cabbage, savoy cabbage, satsumas

Try These Uniquely Sweet Tips When Using a Candy Thermometer
by Martin Prestovic

It doesn't have to be wintertime to make the most use of your versatile candy thermometer.
The cooler months are the time when people seem to do their candy making.
But anytime of the year candy making is a perfect opportunity to gather the kids around the kitchen table and make sweet treats such as pecan brittle, candy apples or chewy, gooey taffy.

Making candy can be a delectably delicious experience if you are aware of how to correctly use a candy thermometer. Creating fun, sweet goodies can also be a disaster if you don't use the proper equipment and follow the steps and procedures exactly as specified. Most cooks with even moderate kitchen experience are already aware that a candy thermometer can be one of your best kitchen tools to help ensure that many family pleasing recipes become kitchen success stories.

Whether you'll be using a liquid thermometer, a coil spring "dial" thermometer, or a digital thermometer (the most accurate type), you'll want to test your thermometer for accuracy before attempting to use it in a recipe. Even the expensive, high end candy thermometers require routine accuracy checks to establish that they are working correctly. If you fail to carry out this simple procedure an inaccurate candy thermometer can easily result in your candy being under or overcooked.

The best way to accomplish this test is to let the thermometer stand undisturbed in a pot of boiling water for ten minutes. At the end of that time check the reading. Your candy thermometer should read 212 degrees F. Once it has been determined that your thermometer is giving an accurate reading, you're ready to begin!

How to Use a Candy Thermometer
1. Gather all the cooking utensils and ingredients you'll need for your candy recipe and have them close by. Timing is everything when it comes to making candy. A minute or two of overcooking can ruin a perfectly good recipe.
2. Next, add the ingredients as directed by the recipe and place the candy thermometer in the pot with the cooking candy, making sure the bulb of the thermometer never touches the bottom of the pan (this will result in a false, higher reading). Cook the mixture until the cooking stage in the recipe is reached. While some recipes provide a goal temperature to reach during this stage, others use sugar stage terminology, such as "thread", "soft ball", "firm ball", "soft crack" or "hard crack". The thermometer, for example, will show a 230-235F reading at the lowest, "thread" stage, and will register 300-310F at the other extreme - the "hard crack" stage.
3. When the desired cooking stage is reached, as evidenced by your thermometer, remove the thermometer carefully (use a potholder - it will be hot!), and complete the recipe following the directions provided.

Sweet Tips, Unique Features, and Other Uses!
" Many cooks agree that there's some truth in what your mother may have told you - it's best to do your candy making on sunny days, when the air pressure is high.
" Always make sure that your candy thermometer has a clip attached that will stabilize it against the side of a pot without you having to hold it in place.
" Never allow the bottom tip of the thermometer to rest against the bottom of a pot on the stove. The pot's bottom surface can produce unreliable temperature readings.
" Remember that there is no mercury used in these types of cooking thermometers.
" A variety of styles of thermometers are available to the candy cook today, including those with antibacterial tubes, stainless steel stems, freezer and oven safe models, and those with Celsius vs. Fahrenheit readings.
" Use your candy thermometer for other types of recipes as well! Using your candy thermometer is helpful when you need to check the temperature of yeast while you are making bread.
" You can even use a candy thermometer to check the oil temperature when you are going to be frying foods.

Cheap But Sensible Guide to Buying Discount Cookware
by Kitchenafair

If you've always wanted to make your family dinner using a nice cookware set but are put off by the high price, you're in luck. You could still fulfill your dream of becoming a kitchen god/goddess using expensive cookware brands but at a lesser cost. Discount cookware can be an excellent choice if you want a branded set but are reluctant to pay the high-end tag prices. But there is an art and a science to buying discount cookware. Here is a short guide to help you choose the right set for your money:

Buy when cookware sets go on sale
If you've always had your eye on expensive cookware such as copper pots and pans, buy them when they go on sale. Manufacturers and stores frequently mark down prices for a number of reasons, so it pays to be on the lookout for a sale. Depending on the season and on the reasons involved, you could get as low as 15% discounts to as high as 75%.

Look for clearance sales
Clearance sales are terrific for buying discount cookware. These usually happen when manufacturers are phasing out old stocks, styles and designs to make way for new ones and when retailers want to replace old items on their inventory. Sure, the cookware you buy may no longer be this season's hottest find but who cares when you have a great set of stuff at an even greater price?

Buy discount cookware from restaurant suppliers
If you're looking for professional cookware, restaurant suppliers are some of the best sources for discount cookware. Most name brands can be found in these stores and you get a choice as to the styles and designs.

Check out factory outlets
Some of the best discounts you can get are from factory outlets. Many manufacturers of cookware use their own outlets to promote and market their wares. You could get new designs at super low prices from these stores, along with great prices on popular items.

Discount doesn't mean damaged Buying discount cookware doesn't mean skimping on quality.
If it's discounted, at least find out why. Overruns are usually better deals than, say, factory damaged items. Before paying for your cookware set, check the items for scratches, dents, cracks and other damages. If the cookware requires electrical power to run, be especially careful. Check wirings and connections for any nicks and cuts. Make sure there are no parts that are burnt or out of place.
