PALATIAL VENUES FOR WALES' TRUE TASTE ROADSHOW



25 July 2011

There is Welsh food and drink on the menu at not one but two palaces when
the True Taste Kitchen Award Winners Roadshow attends two of the UK’s top
summer events – the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show, and the Country
Landowners Association Game Fair.

The Roadshow is a joint promotion between Wales the TrueTaste Food and Drink
Award winners and the Welsh Government, which manages the annual awards.

Probably the most famous palace built by Henry VIII, Hampton Court in Surrey
opens its gates today (Tuesday) for the annual Royal Horticultural Society
flower show, which runs until this Sunday and last year attracted 160,000
visitors.
Tastings, tips, demonstrations and recipes are on offer as the Roadshow
showcases some of the best food and drink in Wales with True Taste winners
past and present taking part.

Featured too are Welsh chefs: The Falcondale Hotel’s Andy Beaumont, Wesley
Harris of the Chart House in Abergavenny, and James Sommerin and Matt Smith
from the True Taste awardwinning The Crown at Whitebrook and Llys Meddyg
respectively. Also cooking up some treats is chef Ryan Jones from ffresh at
the Wales Millennium Centre. ffresh is the first venue in the country to
pilot a Wales the True Taste Partnership, recognizing its commitment to
sourcing and serving the best food and drink from Wales. With all this
amazing food and drink available why not take your UK family holiday.

There is the opportunity too for visitors to pick up a copy of the True
Taste magazine, which is packed with information about the winners and Welsh
food and drink, and also some packs of delicious recipes.
Leading UK organic dairy, and headline sponsor of the Wales the True Taste
Food and Drink Awards 2011-12, Rachel’s Dairy, is sampling its range of
award-winning products which includes organic yogurts, cream and butter.
This month will also see the True Taste Roadshow travelling to Blenheim
Palace in Oxfordshire for the world’s leading countryside sports event –
the Country Landowners Association (CLA) Game Fair (July 22-24), which
annually attracts over 140,000 visitors.
The home of the 11th Duke and Duchess of Marlborough and birthplace of Sir
Winston Churchill, the English Baroque palace is an UNESCO world heritage
site.

A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
