One Stop Dining Destination By Chef Alan Bird To Launch Spring 2013




Set within an old Georgian town house and operating over 5 floors in a prime location; Bird of Smithfield is the long awaited venture by Chef Alan Bird. With over 15 years heading the kitchen at arguably London's most iconic restaurant The Ivy and as a former Group Executive Chef at the International Soho House Group, Bird has received widespread recognition from both peers and trade.

The restaurant's menu will be British with a twist; with dishes aiming to explore the influence British food has had both historically and presently. Moments away from Farringdon, Bird of Smithfield will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Bird of Smithfield will offer a beautiful classically styled dining room featuring Harris Tweed and herringbone fabrics, a bar with a cosy lounge feel, a basement cocktail bar, an exquisite private dining room with a chef's table and a roof terrace over- looking the towers of the old market.

The intimate basement bar, known as The Birdcage; will also host live music on selected nights. London-based bar consultancy Fluid Movement (Purl, Worship St Whistling Shop and Dach & Sons) will oversee the unique cocktail menu; bringing their creative flair and passion into every glass.

Offering guests a home from home as soon as they enter the building, Bird of Smithfield's classic structure will be brightened with colour schemes influenced by the 1960's Hermes palette.  Full of art and antiques; Bird of Smithfield will feature mid-20th Century furniture carefully selected by Bird's business partner Steve Collins who opened events space Temple Guiting in the Cotswolds with Sophie Conran.  Bird and Collins will operate the restaurant alongside Georgia Muir and Sian Austin, both whom previously worked with Notting Hill Restaurateur Tom Conran.

Able to satisfy a variety of demands; Bird of Smithfield offers the fragrance of a members club with no membership required.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
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
