dave stone design The difference is in the detail.

Bespoke kitchen and bedroom design and project management “We knew that we had a massive project on to transform our home, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and went to see Dave Stone Design. We had shopped around but were immediately welcomed by the team and shown designs which we hadn’t seen from others and which weren’t a copy of what we had. We felt so comfortable that for each individual project, we went away on holiday and left them to it. The team were amazing, every one of them, from the showroom to our home. It’s finally complete and we lose the friends that we have made over this past year. But they are all welcome for a cuppa if they are passing!“ Colin & Linda, Walton.

Christmas Memorial Service Sunday 11th December 201

6 at 2pm Hutcliffe Wood Cremator ium

CHRISTMAS CAN BE A DIFFICULT TIME FOR THE BEREAVED WHICH IS WHY JOHN FAIREST FUNERAL DIRECTORS HOLD A SPECIAL SERVICE TO REMEMBER LOVED ONES WE HAVE LOST. hristmas is a wonderful time for families to get together, but it can also be a sad reminder of those family members and friends that are no longer with us.

John Fairest Funeral Directors understand how difficult this time of year can be, which is why the funeral home on Abbey Lane, Woodseats hold an annual Christmas memorial service on the second Sunday of December.

The service provides a time and place for reflection, as well as a supportive environment for families, and will include carol singing and the lighting of a candle in memory of loved ones. Refreshments are also served after the service.

The funeral home welcomes all the families they have looked after over the past eight years, and this year the Christmas Memorial Service will take place on Sunday 11 December at Hutcliffe Wood Crematorium at 2pm.

From Thursday 1 December, there will be a memorial Christmas tree in the reception area of the funeral home, where clients past and present can write messages of remembrance on stars and attach them to the tree. All messages from previous years have been wrapped up and put under the tree.

Branch manager Wayne Pickering has 19 years’ experience working in various areas of the funeral directing industry and believes in catering for clients at all stages.

C

“Our main aim is to look after our families.

When clients first come to make arrangements, they are at their lowest point.” he says.

“We promise to plan everything with clarity, respect and reassurance and to listen, advise and carry you through all your options before, during and after the arrangements.”

John Fairest is one of the most established and trusted funeral directors in Sheffield, they have had a presence on Penistone Road North for over 100 years, whilst the Abbey Lane branch opened its doors in 2007.

Janice Mason and Claire Whitehouse of the Abbey Lane team understand that every person is different, and, as such, every funeral they arrange is a unique tribute to a unique life.

John Fairest take care of every aspect of funeral arrangements, providing everything from a fleet of limousines, to the music for the funeral. They ensure you get a personal service, and that you deal with the same member of staff throughout. John Fairest also provide help with arranging flowers, obituary notices, online memorials and catering.

John Fairest is one of the largest providers of pre-paid funeral plans in the city. This allows you to plan your funeral in advance and ensures that your funeral will be carried out as you want it. By being prepared today, you will be helping your loved ones tomorrow.

They also do monumental work, including removing

and replacing of memorials, cleaning and renovating existing memorials, adding an additional inscription, and supplying new memorials. And have a book of remembrance and a varied selection of keepsakes in the form of cremation urns, silver fingerprints and ashes in glass jewellery.

CHRISTMAS

Turkey sandwich?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to be a little more adventurous

Leftovers, with a twist UNSURE OF WHAT TO DO WITH THAT LEFTOVER CHRISTMAS TURKEY? MOLLY McGREEVY HAS SOME TOP TIPS FOR TASTY FESTIVE TREATS. hether your Christmas catering is for two or 20, by Boxing Day the fridge will still be bursting with festive cuisine, but there is more to Christmas leftovers than a bubble and squeak and turkey sandwiches.

There are hundreds of uses for your Christmas dinner leftovers, and if done right you can use the same ingredients to transform Boxing Day into just as much of a culinary treat.

W

Turkey Dry, predictable turkey sandwiches are a thing of the past, instead, fight off the festive flab with a light, flavoursome turkey salad, which could make an impressive centre piece at the Boxing Day buffet. With salads, there are no limits, as well as veggies you can throw in leftover nuts and seeds, or dried fruit.

TURKEY AND WARM CLEMENTINE SALAD Ingredients

2 banana shallots Olive oil 2 clementines 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar Sea salt Freshly-ground black pepper 250g leftover free-range turkey 100g mixed nuts and seeds, such as hazelnuts, pistachios or pumpkin seeds 50g dried cranberries 1 teaspoon runny honey 2 red chicory 75g watercress 75g rocket 2 tablespoons low-fat natural yoghurt 1 pomegranate 30 Southside | www.southsidemagazine.co.uk

Method

1. Peel and finely dice the shallots, then add to a small frying pan with a splash of olive oil and cook over a medium-low heat for around five minutes, or until golden and sticky. Finely grate in the zest from the clementines, then squeeze in the juice and cook for a further five minutes, or until reduced to a nice, syrupy consistency.

Pour in the vinegar and four tablespoons of olive oil, season to taste, then reduce the heat to low and leave the to simmer until needed.

2. Heat a lug of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Shred and add the turkey (I use both the brown and white meat) and fry for around five minutes, or until crispy. Roughly bash the nuts and seeds in a pestle and mortar, then add to the pan with the cranberries and honey. Season with salt and pepper and cook for a further couple of minutes, or until sticky and caramelised.

3. Meanwhile, trim the nice tops off the chicory, leaving them whole, then trim and finely slice the base. Place the chicory leaves onto a serving platter with the watercress and rocket. Drizzle over the warm clementine dressing, pile the sticky, caramelised turkey on top and spoon over the yoghurt. Halve a pomegranate, then hold one half cut-side down in your hand and bash the back with a spoon so the seeds fall over the salad. Serve and enjoy!

CHRISTMAS

Method

1. To cook the pasta, bring a large pan of water to the boil, add a generous measure of salt and tip in the pasta. Stir once and return to the boil, then boil rapidly for 12 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 190ºC/ /fan 170ºC/gas 5.

Cheeseboard By the time you reach the cheeseboard on Christmas Day, tummies are full and no one can eat another morsel, often leading to a sad selection left stood on the table. Making a pasta bake from your cheeseboard gives it a second life, and makes for a quick and easy meal amongst the stress of festivities.

“There are hundreds of uses for your Christmas dinner leftovers, and if done right you can use the same ingredients to transform Boxing Day into just as much of a culinary treat.”

3. Drain the pasta and tip it into the sauce.

Taste and add extra seasoning if necessary. Stir in the ham and grate in any hard cheese, then tip into a shallow ovenproof dish. Dice any remaining cheeses and swirl into the pasta to make cheesy pockets.

4. Mix the nuts and parsley together, then scatter over the pasta. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until the nuts are golden and crunchy and everything is piping hot.

PASTA BAKE Ingredients

500g packet rigatoni 850ml milk 50g butter 50g plain flour Half a nutmeg (or ¼ tsp ready ground) 250g cheese 200g cooked ham, chopped (optional) 85g mixed nut, such as cashews, blanched almonds, and hazelnuts, roughly chopped Handful of parsley, roughly chopped

The rest

Vegetables For many, Boxing Day bubble and squeak is as traditional as carols and a tree, but vegetables are incredibly versatile and can be used to create some fabulous meals to feed the whole family.

For a bit of spice, vegetables can be transformed into a curry, which can be frozen to use in the future – it could even cater a New Year’s Eve party, if you really want your leftovers to go the distance. Curry is quick, easy and a crowd-pleaser, it also offers an alternative to the rich, stodgy food that is normally associated with Christmas.

2. To make the sauce, pour the milk into a pan and add the butter, flour and plenty of seasoning. Grate in the half nutmeg (or sprinkle in the ready ground). Bring to the boil over a medium heat, whisking all the time until it makes a smooth, creamy sauce.

VEGETABLE CURRY Ingredients

2 onions, sliced 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 4 tablespoons tikka masala paste 680-700g jar tomato passata 400g can coconut milk 100ml water Coriander sprigs, to serve Rice or naan bread, to serve Method

1. To make the sauce, fry the onions in the oil in a large pan until softened and golden – add a splash of water if they start to dry out. Stir in the curry paste, cook for three minutes, then add the passata, coconut milk and 100ml water. Simmer for a few minutes.

2. Tip the leftover vegetables into the sauce and simmer for 10-15 minutes until tender (reduce this time if vegetables are already cooked). Scatter with coriander and serve.

If you’re feeling fancy, and have some Yorkshire puddings leftover, top them with a little beef or turkey and serve alongside gravy – these are great hot or cold for post-Christmas canapes.

To help leftover Christmas pudding last longer, crumble it and mix it into vanilla ice cream – for the more experienced home chefs mixing it into your own homemade ice cream would also create a lovely Christmassy dessert for weeks to come. To give the dessert that extra luxurious twist, stir in some leftover amaretto or cream liqueur.

Combine your favourite Christmas tipples to create cocktails – the perfect addition to any New Year’s Eve party. Amaretto, prosecco and orange juice can be mixed into a fizzy festive drink.

Connecting generations RISING STAR ANNEEKA LUDHRA’S MISSION TO DISCOVER THE TRUE FLAVOURS OF INDIA IS REVEALED IN A BRAND NEW BOOK FROM RMC MEDIA. ake seven grandmothers. Combine with 500 years’ experience. Finish with an up-and-coming star of Indian cookery.

The result? A tasty mix of know-how and show-how that’s set to be a big hit this Christmas – with a little life advice thrown in for free.

Anneeka Ludhra’s new book ‘Dadima’s: Celebrating Grandmother’s Wisdom Through Indian Cooking’ brings traditional expertise bang up-to-date in a cookbook with a difference. Berkshire-based Anneeka, 25, looked to the older generation as a starting point when she set out on a mission to discover the true flavours of the old country and connect generations in the process. She then added her own twist to almost 50 classic recipes, all of which are lavishly illustrated in the 224-page book.

And the seven grandmothers she found through her network didn’t stop there. As well as being consulted on the finer points of Indian cooking, each of them added a little spice in the form of some pearls of wisdom to pass on to the younger generation.

“Older people have so much to offer, not only in the secrets of the kitchen learned over many decades, but in life experience,” says

T

40 Southside | www.southsidemagazine.co.uk

Anneeka. “Of course it’s the food that really does the talking in the book – heeding the life advice is optional!”

The research for her book took her all over the country to seek out grandmothers she knew of, renowned for their excellent cooking.

“We carefully prepared every recipe from scratch with the aim of showing people how to make truly authentic dishes at home. The result is a far cry from what you might find in most Indian restaurants. Their menus feature cuisine which has, not surprisingly, been adapted to the English palate. But in the case of the grandmothers, there was more of a connection with India, and the knowledge they brought over here with them has been passed down across the centuries.”

The recipes chosen for the book are written in an informal style, with plenty of pointers for the amateur cook. Among them are old-school favourites like aloo paratha (stuffed potato flatbread), aloo gobi, mah di daal, cholay and pea and potato samosas, together with dishes for those with a sweeter tooth, such as mango kulfi and barfi.

The handsome hardback book (ISBN 9781-907998-25-6) is published by RMC Media and makes the ideal Christmas gift.

‘Dadima’s: Celebrating Grandmother’s Wisdom Through Indian Cooking’ is available via Amazon priced at £19.95. For more information, visit www.dadimas.co.uk.

Our competition – with 30 superb prizes donated by independent businesses from across the region – has been the centrepiece of RMC Media’s 30th anniversary celebrations this year.

The grand finale came when Christine joined us for a champagne reception in the showroom of RMC Media’s media partner, My Fathers Heart, to celebrate her success and see the superb selection of prizes on display.

came along, with her daughter-in-law Lindsey, to collect her prizes.

Joining in the celebrations were representatives from RMC Media and My Fathers Heart and Jackie Gill from Bradfield Brewery, who donated 30 bottles of the limited edition Thirty Something ale, brewed specially to celebrate our 30th anniversary.

Harriet Coulthard from My Fathers Heart said: “It was lovely for us as a company to be able to host such a happy occasion, and to see Christine so thrilled to receive all those great prizes.”

Over the next few months our special winner can look forward to living the high life, thanks to a package of prizes that includes race days, holidays, hotel stays, jewellery, luxurious food and enough fizz to stage a very special celebration party for family and friends.

“I get Eastside every month and read it right through. When I saw all those prizes I thought, ‘I’ll never win it, but I’ll give it a go.’

And then when I was told I’d won I couldn’t

believe it. I’ve not been able to sleep, I’m so excited. All the prizes look great and they’ve come just in time for Christmas.”

As her good fortune begins to sink in, Christine is already starting to think about which prizes she is going to keep, and which will be shared with family and friends.

“I am looking forward to the flights to Guernsey and also staying at The Crown Hotel in Bawtry, which is near where I live, so I am saving that for my birthday,” she said.

“I’m going to share most of the prizes with my family. Lindsey is taking her nieces to see Diversity in Leeds, my partner Martin McNicholas and my son-in-law Richard Whitticker will be doing the adventure day at Yorkshire Outdoors and my son, David Glenn Vincent, will have the Bailey bracelet and then the boys will enjoy the 30 bottles of beer between them – I’m keeping the watch from PA Jewellery for myself!”

And so she should. Congratulations Christine.

Walk in a winter wonderland FROM REAL TREES TO GIFTS AND FESTIVE DINNERS, WARD’S GARDEN CENTRE IS A UNIQUE AND UNUSUAL ONE-STOP CHRISTMAS SHOP WHICH EXCEEDS EVERYONE’S EXPECTATIONS. It’s the most wonderful time of the year… festive jingles are on loop, the halls are decked and filled with the comforting scent of pine, and delicious mulled wine is warming the cockles of many a frozen shopper.

As winter rolls around once again, the time for brightening up the house and creating a real jovial feel is upon us, and while glittering tinsel and baubles always look lovely, it is the natural trimmings that really make the difference: scarlet poinsettia, pearly mistletoe, and an authentic Christmas tree - certain to fill the home with traditional scents of Christmastime.

Ward’s Nurseries and Garden Centre has embraced the festive season with open arms and has once again been transformed into a winter wonderland of illuminations, decorations and gifts. Including the return of the everpopular village scene collection, comprising animated musical and illuminated decorations, including a miniature ice rink with skating figurines, carousel, merry-go-round and cosy taverns.

A whole host of Christmas plants and trees are available, ranging from (approximately) four to nine feet tall, so whatever the size of your room, Ward’s has a Christmas tree to suit. And, if you love the idea of an authentic Christmas tree, but dread the annual needle shower, a Nordmann Fir - known for having excellent needle retention properties - could be exactly what you're looking for.

"We’ve worked closely with our Christmas tree growers for many years and we know that the quality is always second to none.” Says director Sue Poulton.

“We always take deliveries as close to Christmas as we can, to ensure that by the time demand is high, the trees will still be freshly cut and won't have been sitting in a warehouse for weeks – making them much more likely to last throughout the entire Christmas period."

Freshly cut trees will be available from 28 November and the team at Ward's are on hand to make sure your Christmas tree gets home in one piece. Whether potted or cut, and whatever the size, the netting service will make even the biggest trees fit into the smallest spaces. Alternatively, the distribution team will be happy to do all the dirty work for you and can deliver your chosen tree to your door.

Ward's also offer a stunning collection of wreathes and garlands, as well as an array of flowering and berried Christmas plants – including cyclamen and orchids. And, although poinsettias are traditionally scarlet at Christmas, Ward's also stock a new, improved variety - Pink Princess - for those who want to put a modern spin on their festive decorations.

It's not just decorations that Ward's do best; the garden centre is brimming with hundreds of fantastic gift ideas for the whole family. Stocking everything from candles, hand creams and toiletries, to an extensive range of children’s toys - including the highly desirable Orange Tree range of wooden toys - and a huge selection adult and children’s books.

They also stock the ever-popular Equilibrium jewellery range, which features beautifully designed bangles, bracelets, necklaces and earrings - a great gift idea for him or her - and once you’ve purchased your gifts, you can beautifully present them in luxury wrapping paper, which can be purchased from the gift shop.

This year, Ward’s are also offering personalised food hampers, and the Cottage Delight range is as popular as ever - with a large selection of sauces, oils and chutneys to choose from. There are also many alternative goodies to choose from, including a new gluten free assortment, and what’s more, a member of the team will pack and wrap it all in an attractive gift box ready to present to the lucky recipient.

Ward’s are also well known for their clothing department, with anything from socks to luxurious wraps on offer. They have a great selection of women’s clothing, including the popular Goose Island range, which features ladies tops, casual dresses and luxurious knitwear.

"We try to cater for all tastes, budgets and ages with our range of jewellery, soaps, furniture, socks and fabulous wraps – you name it, we've probably got it." Says Sue. With all that Ward's has to offer, why not make a day of your visit? Father Christmas will be in his grotto in the run up to the big day during weekends throughout December - and, after three mighty months stomping the streets of Sheffield, you might even spot a mammoth arrival settling in to its new home.

The Old Potting Shed Coffee Shop and Restaurant is child friendly and offers an impressive selection of meals - including a Menu One luxury festive afternoon tea – and, as Ward’s is not licensed to sell alcohol, you can even bring your own, for a small corkage charge.

Appetiser Christmas comes but once each year, so avoid the inevitable last Chef’s Homemade Spiced minute run to the shops and make your entire Christmas shopping Parsnip Soup experience a pleasure with Ward’s Garden Centre.

MOTORING

Subtle changes There will be an all-new Seat Leon released in February 2017. The previous Leon was a winner largely due to its distinct, classy look and the new model has followed with this philosophy.

It’s not an ‘all-new’ Leon, but an update to the previous model. There are subtle styling changes to the exterior which include redesigned bumpers to make the car look bigger and there’s an injection of brand new and updated technologically as showcased in the Ateca SUV. This includes the likes of traffic jam assist and pedestrian protection assist.

It also comes with a new trim level named XCELLENCE which is supposed to give a distinct upmarket feel and there’re a host of new Euro 6 compliant engines available to choose from.

THE NEW YEAR WILL BRING A FLURRY OF NEW MODELS, WRITES JORDAN CUTFORTH. WE TAKE A LOOK AT A LITTLE OF WHAT’S IN STORE.

ALL-NEW A5 Welcome everybody to the all-new Audi A5, a car which took the market by storm with its initial release by in 2007.

Available in Coupe and five-door Sportback body styles, the A5 is built on an all-new platform and comes with all the latest technological gadgets you can think of.

The Coupe will be available with three diesels and two petrol engines whilst the Sportback will only be available with one petrol and two diesels. Engine ranges from a 187hp 2.0-litre TDI and TFSI to a 249hp 2.0-litre TFSI with all-wheel drive Quattro.

There’s also a 3.0-litre TDI with 215hp available too.

Alongside the A5 is also the S5 variant. Available in both body designs it’ll come with a 349hp 3.0-litre turbocharged V6.

Championship edition To celebrate the championship win of Marco Wittmann in the DTM Championship, BMW has given their cherished M4 another special edition.

Called the DTM Championship Edition, it’ll have top-class motor racing technology for drive and suspension as well as a specific design that mimics the DTM racing cars built by BMW Motorsport. This includes body stripes, a huge boot spoiler and aggressive body styling.

Based on the M4 GTS, it gets a 3.0-litre turbocharged watercooled straight-six petrol engine producing 593hp, which is good for a 0-62mph time of 3.8 seconds and a 190mph top speed.

Inside, it’s a strict two-seater carbon bucket job with a roll cage to replaces the rear seats. Luxuries include Sat-Nav, air-con, adaptive lights and parking sensors.

Stand-out crowd-pleaser After the release of the newly updated GTR earlier this year, Nissan has revealed the Nismo edition – the flagship in the GTR range.

Costing from £149,995, the Nismo will be powered by a more powerful version of the 3.8litre twin-turbo V6 found in regular GTR models, 592hp to be precise. This can be due to the fact that this Nismo engine features technology from the GTR GT3 car. As with all GTR’s, power is sent to all four wheels via a six-speed double-clutch gearbox.

With the improved aerodynamic capabilities of this Nismo edition, it produces more downforce than any other Nissan production car to date. And with the more aggressive body kit, it certainly stands out more than any other Nissan production car to date.

CHESTERFIELD CHAMPIONS

CHESTERFIELD IS SET FOR ANOTHER YEAR OF GROWTH, BELIEVES PETER SWALLOW, CHAIR OF DESTINATION CHESTERFIELD.

W

hat a year 2016 has been. Recent world and national events aside, Chesterfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s year has been hugely

positive.

It was the first year, since records began, that unemployment in the town fell below the national average. It was also the year that Chesterfield became a university town when the University of Derby opened a campus at St Helenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

The town also made headway with ÂŁ1bn worth of developments in the borough.

Site preparation began at Basin Square at Chesterfield Waterside, surveying work began on the Elder Way project, new buildings were completed at Markham Vale and Peak Resort also moved forward.

I for one am very optimistic about 2017. Having seen, during the Made in Chesterfield festival, the rich vein of manufacturing companies that operate here already, I believe there are substantial opportunities for the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manufacturing sector when Brexit becomes a reality. In the meantime, the low exchange rates which have resulted

from the Brexit vote have provided a welcome boost to export opportunities for this sector.

Rather than have a wait and see approach to world and national events however, Chesterfield needs to do now what it did during the recession â&#x20AC;&#x201C; start laying the foundations for growth now so that we are ready to hit the ground running when Brexit negotiations are complete. This approach created the Destination Chesterfield campaign and enabled us to attract the investment we now see taking place in the borough.

We have the foundations in place for a strong future. We have the developments, employers and now, thanks to the University of Derby, we will have a hugely skilled workforce. Nowhere was the young talent in this town more obvious than at the Food and Drink Awards where 100 Chesterfield College students can be credited with making the night so special; and those young people represented just a fraction of the students and apprentices who live, work and train here. Not only are we a university town, Chesterfield can be proud to call itself an apprentice town too.

2016 has been another year of opportunity for the town and there is so much more to come in 2017 and beyond. The weather may be getting colder, but Chesterfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prospects have never looked hotter. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to a very happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
