World famous culinary arts and hospitality school, Le Cordon Bleu, in collaboration with Southern Cross University have announced the recipients of the 2014 Education & Industry Professional Scholarships for the Le Cordon Bleu Master of Gastronomic Tourism.

Tuition scholarships of $5000 were awarded to Meera Raj, F & B Manager of the JW Marriott Hotel in Surabaya, Indonesia and Tina Sketchley, a Home Economics and Nutrition teacher from Darwin High School, to undertake units from the Le Cordon Bleu Master of Gastronomic Tourism program in 2014.
Partial scholarships (valued at $2500) were also awarded to Barbara Sweeney, food writer and curator of the annual food writers' festival, Food & Words, and senior journalist and national food writer for NewsCorp, Grant Jones, in recognition of their scholarship submissions and contribution to industry.

Le Cordon Bleu Australia's Manager, Educational Leadership, Dr Roger Haden said, "Le Cordon Bleu is pleased to support such high calibre professionals in their pursuit of professional development. Our courses are built to offer multi-disciplinary education in this burgeoning industry. The dramatic increase of food and wine upon tourism's impact will only continue to grow, and we need to address the skills and knowledge base of those wishing to work in this exciting field."

According to recipient of the Industry scholarship, Meera Raj, from the JW Marriott Hotel in Surabaya, Indonesia, "The simple nourishment of food and drink is not just something ordinary.  It is magical - how a bowl of Pho Bo can transport your mind to colonial Vietnam, for example! Being granted the 2014 Le Cordon Bleu Master of Gastronomic Tourism Industry Professional Scholarship will enable me to enrich my understanding of food and wine experiences as they relate to my profession.  I haven't previously rushed into a Master degree for the sake of having one.  I have been patiently building my skills waiting for the right topic to stir me.  And here it is: Gastronomic Tourism."

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

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
