Home Made Cook of the Year 2011 – The Final, Denman College, 5th December 2011

By Chris Bennett | 05.12.2011 | Posted in Home Made Cook of the Year, Kitchen

A very exciting day was had by all at ‘Home of the House Proud’ today as several of the team made the journey down to the WI’s Denman College in Oxfordshire for the final of our ‘Home Made Cook of the Year’ competition.

As many of our regular visitors will know, over the last couple of months we have been running a competition with the support of the WI, Delia Online and Diabetes UK to find the country’s best ‘Home Made Cooks’ – budding chefs were asked to send us a recipe and picture of a main meal dish big enough to feed a family of four, but costing less that £7.50 (we are celebrating our 75th anniversary this year after all)!

We received loads of great entries, many of which we have shared with you on ‘Home of the House Proud’ and many of which we’ll be sharing with you over the following weeks and months. From the entries, a shortlist of three recipes were selected and the talented cooks behind each were invited to the WI’s Denman College today to cook their dishes for celebrity chef Brian Turner and leading food blogger Helen Best-Shaw (Fuss Free Flavours). The three short-listed winners were (all three will be showcased on ‘Home of the House Proud’ this week):

Yvonne Bailey, from Chippenham who submitted a recipe for a Pork with Orange and Ginger

Maria Kuehn, from London who submitted a recipe for Chicken and coriander meatballs with saffron and courgette rice

Sue Wynne, from Lancaster who submitted a recipe for Andalucian Chicken

Brian was running a cookery demonstration course ‘A Taste of Christmas’ at Denman College today, which was being sponsored by Morphy Richards and our partner Stoves, so the day started with Brian introducing the three finalists to the 100+ ladies in the audience and then giving each of them two hours to rustle up their creations in the Denman College Cookery School. Once the two hours had passed, Brian invited the finalists back in to the auditorium where he was joined by Helen to taste the meals and decide on an overall winner.

Yvonne Bailey, from Chippenham

Maria Kuehn, from London

Sue Wynne, from Lancaster

After deliberations that lasted a good five minutes, we’re pleased to announce that Sue Wynne’s Audalucian Chicken was the overall winner due to its taste, texture and cost (amongst other things), although all three dishes were of a very high standard (hence the five minutes deliberation time!).

Brian Turner and Helen Best-Shaw Judge

Sue has bagged herself a £1,000 Morphy Richards kitchen makeover, a Stoves Mini Range cooker, a Roberts DAB radio and a one day Women’s Institute cooking course for her and a friend – the perfect prize package for any ‘Home Made Hero’!

Sue Wynne, from Lancaster - Winner of 'Home Made Cook of the Year' 2011

Over the coming couple of weeks, we’ll be handing out some runners up prizes to nine other entrants that have impressed the judges with their kitchen creations – watch this space!

As well as the pictures above, we’ve also got a load more pictures from today on our Facebook page, click here to have a look.

A huge thanks to everyone that took the time to enter the competition, here’s to ‘Home Made Cook of the Year 2012’!!

Home Made Cook of the Year – Twisted Cauliflower Cheese

By Chris Bennett | 06.10.2011 | Posted in Home Made Cook of the Year, Kitchen

Several weeks ago we launched our ‘Home Made Cook of the Year’ competition and since then entries have been flooding in. If you are talented in the kitchen and your family and friends love your home made food, we want to hear from you!

Simply send us a recipe for a delicious dish that costs no more than £7.50 to make and can feed a family of four. If your dish impresses the judges, you could be cooking for celebrity chef Brian Turner at the WI’s Denman College and also be walking away with a whole host of goodies, click here for more information.

A big thanks to Debbie who blogs at the ‘Country Heart and Home’ for sending us her recipe for a delicious Twisted Cauliflower Cheese, here’s Debbie’s recipe:

Twisted Cauliflower Cheese

Ingredients

1x Large Cauliflower

8x Rashers of Bacon (optional)

8x Spring Onions

400ml Creme Fraiche

200g Mature Cheddar Cheese

Salt and Pepper to taste

1x tbsp Whole Grain Mustard (optional)

Ready Roll Puff Pastry

1x Egg, lightly beaten

Method

Preheat oven to 200 degrees
Gently fry the bacon and spring onions in a pan until the bacon is cooked through
Grate the cheese and add ALL the ingredients to an oven proof dish. Mix thoroughly
Roll out the puff pastry to the size of the ovenproof dish. Lay over the mix and make two slits in the top to let the air out and to stop the pastry from going soggy. Brush with the beaten egg
Cook for 45mins to one hour but keep checking that the pastry is not burning and that the cauliflower is cooked all the way through

The total cost of this dish is approximately £7, but could be cut down if the bacon is omitted and home grown vegetable are used.

Asparagus & Roasted Garlic Soup – Delia Online Soup Maker Winner (Number 1)

By Chris Bennett | 06.04.2011 | Posted in Kitchen, Recipes

As regular visitors to ‘Home of the House Proud’ will be aware, we have been working very closely with Delia Online and Christian Aid to support the ‘Super Soup Lunch’ which saw events take place across the country several weeks ago (on Friday 25^th March).

Throughout March, visitors to Delia Online were invited to upload their favourite soup recipe to the website for the chance to win a Morphy Richards Soup Maker. In total, there were five Soup Makers up for grabs. The winners have now been announced and over the course of the next five days, we’re going to bring you a winning recipe each day. Today’s recipe is for a delicious Asparagus and Roasted Garlic Soup and was submitted to Delia Online by Michelle Platman.

Asparagus & Roasted Garlic Soup

Asparagus and Roasted Garlic Soup. Please Note: Image is for illustration purposes only and is not of the actual recipe.

(Serves 4)

Start preparation the previous day, if possible. Pre-heat oven to 1800C/3500/Gas Mark 4

(If you haven’t got much time, then you can use any commercial ready-to-use chopped garlic or garlic paste.)

Ingredients

1x Large glass jar, sealable (e.g. a Kilner jar)
3x Heads of good quality garlic
1 Pint extra virgin olive oil
3-4 sprigs of fresh rosemary
1x Large onion, peeled and finely sliced
1 lb good asparagus (if using older, more stringy asparagus, double the quantity)
Cut into 2” pieces
1 tbsp plain flour
1½ Pints good vegetable stock
Salt, white pepper
¼ pint single cream

To garnish:
2x Tbsp fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped
Zest of 1 lemon, grated
Garlic croutons (optional)

Method

Sterilise the glass jar by putting it in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool
To roast the garlic, remove excess papery skin from the garlic heads and put them into a small baking tin, with three tbsps of the olive oil. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until they are all soft. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Trim off the top 1 cm of garlic heads. Pack the garlic and springs of rosemary into the sterilised jar and completely cover the garlic with the remaining olive oil. Seal the jar and leave overnight
The next day: Heat 4-5 tbsps of the olive oil from the jar in a saucepan until hot
Cook the chopped onion gently in the pan for about 5 minutes
Peel and finely chop 4 cloves of the roasted garlic and add to the pan
Cook gently for a further 5 minutes, without colouring
Add the asparagus and cook gently for 2 minutes
Stir in the flour and cook gently for 2 minutes
Gradually add the stock, stirring all the time. Cover, bring to the boil and simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes, until the asparagus is soft. Cool a little, then puree in a liquidiser until very smooth
Pass through a fine sieve to remove any stringy fibres
Add the cream and reheat gently, but do not boil, as this will curdle the soup
Season to taste and serve garnished with chopped parsley, lemon zest and garlic croutons. This soup is delicious chilled, too. It freezes beautifully

Hosting a ‘Super Soup Lunch’…

By Chris Bennett | 03.03.2011 | Posted in Kitchen, Super Soup Lunch

To celebrate the launch of our Soup Maker, we’re working closely with Delia Online and Christian Aid to support ‘Super Soup Lunch’, which takes place across the country on Friday 25^th March 2011. Our latest blog post ahead of this exciting event is all about selecting a location for your ‘Super Soup Lunch’. You may already have an idea about where you’re going to hold it, but if not, here are some suggestions about how you can get involved and support this great cause:

Get your work colleagues to make a voluntary donation to enter their soup in a tasting competition at work. Soups could be themed e.g. colours of the rainbow or they have to include certain ingredients.

Fancy a warming bowlful at home? Ask family and friends to make a voluntary donation to enter your own ‘Super Soup Lunch’ competition. You could blind-taste everyone’s soups and decide which is the best one – the soup-maker with the least points does the washing up!

Get your class at school involved? Why not add a global dimension to learning about food? Explore ingredients from around the world, with global recipes, and help your students understand what’s so important about the ‘Super Soup Lunch’.

Invite your local community for lunch. Why not set up a soup café at church or your village hall and ask for a voluntary donation for a delicious bowlful?

Or perhaps you could get your local café, pub or even restaurant to make their ‘soup of the day’ a ‘Super Soup Lunch’; the profits could then go to Christian Aid.

If you’re interested in hosting a ‘Super Soup Lunch’ on Friday 25th March you can apply for a free fund-raising pack from Christian Aid (here), which includes all of the information that you’ll need.
