FOOD & DRINK AWARDS 2019

Our writers have been out and about across the county again meeting more of the champions of our food, drink and hospitality industry.

Some of the names you may already be familiar with but others are new entrepreneurs in the sector with great products and ambitions to make their mark.

Mike Webster went to Grimsby to meet the team at Docks Beers who have established the town’s only brewery, fifty years after Hewitts closed. Located in a former Mission Church, the brewery is set within a

regeneration area which will see considerable change in the future. Read Mike’s feature on page 3.

Caroline Bingham was up with the lark to meet the bakers at Vine’s Bakery, the artisan bakery located on Steep Hill, Lincoln. This team are graduates of The School of Artisan Food, and led by founder Emma Vine, who is the fourth in five generations of her family to be in the industry. You can read her story on page 24.

One of the great natural spectacles of the coastline are the seals which come

ashore to pup each autumn.

Photographer Barbara Meyer has captured some wonderful images of these playful mammals but also reminds anyone visiting Donna Nook or any local sanctuaries to respect all boundaries and visitor notices.

Finally, Good Taste Lincolnshire would not be complete without our fantastic selection of seasonal recipes. Our thanks to chef Rachel Green who has once again inspired us with festive menus and gift ideas.

Our best wishes and compliments of the season.

A quay player with great brewing in Grimsby

By Mike Webster When the St Barnabas Mission Church on King Edward Street in Grimsby was first opened as a tin structure in 1874, later built in brick and consecrated in 1900, it could never have been envisaged that it would be converted into a rather different spiritual house in 2018.

Now the home of the newfound company bearing the name Docks Beers, it has formally made its grand entrance into the brewing world and embraced an ever growing and appreciative clientele.

Due to the Axholme Brewing Company outgrowing their premises in Crowle, North Lincolnshire, mainly due to the phenomenal success of their Cleethorpes Pale Ale, larger premises were urgently required.

The existing team of Mike and Jules Richards joined forces with friends Will Douglas and Shahram Shadan in the creation of the new company which is now undoubtedly set to be a major force, not only in brewing but in the regeneration of the area. The new venue is something totally different to other breweries and quite a revelation to behold.

It has already been considered – jokily but understandably – to be “the theatre of beer”. Not without good reason either, for the brewery is situated beside and in full view of a stylish bar and tap room with a well stocked shop too. The state-of-the-art fifteen barrel brewery in full swing holds a deep fascination for the brewery curious whilst still on hand to enjoy the best ale around. A canning process takes place in full view from time to time and this is an interesting twist with the supply of craft beer in cans rather than bottles. Putting the hard graft into craft beer, Docks Beers is the only brewery in Grimsby and this in itself A Lincolnshire Life Magazine publication

PAGE 02 & 03.indd 3

must have come as a welcome addition to the community after the demise of Hewitts, the last brewery here fifty years ago. With a capacity to produce around 20,000 pints per week, this place, which is off licensed oozes that “must come here again” feeling with customers. It can be booked for private events and brewery tours are available on the first and third Saturdays of each month.

The tap room supplies a wide range of guest beers from other craft brewers along the tap wall as well as the ‘core’ beers of the business. These are ‘Hard Graft’, ‘Graveyard Shift’ and ‘Never Say Die’, all made with more hop varieties in each brew and being colder and carbonated. Director and head brewer, Mike Richards has said that currently the beers are the best that he has ever created but emphasises that this is just the beginning. Several more beers will be launched soon.

Nothing has been spared with the designs on the cans either. The history and rich heritage of Grimsby as a hard working community has been remembered and transferred to the product. Inspired by the location, illustrations of work performed in Victoria Mill, The Ice House and The Dock Tower all feature on the merchandise. They all immortalise the grit and tradition of the Grimsby dock workforce that gave the town its ‘Great’ status.

Plans for the further development of Docks Beers are nothing short of amazing. Since the deconsecration of

the church in 1954 it has been used as a furniture warehouse and has had an upper floor fitted. Will Douglas and his fellow directors have a wonderful vision for the future of the building.

Shahram Shadan has a development background and together they have big ambitions for the building. Measuring 3,500 square feet, with a large vaulted roof and arched windows, the idea is to create a ‘cultural hub’ and it is certainly big enough to seat 200 and have 400 standing. Coupled with this, the possibilities of a stage, bar and live comedy, music, theatre and exhibitions make it a project that simply begs to be explored. Plans are in place to attract many high calibre cultural acts from all over the world and audiences from much further afield than just the Midlands.

The company directors here are certainly wanting to put the Great back into Grimsby. Will is passionate about the regeneration of the area and he often reflects on the times when this was a rundown and somewhat impoverished area of the town. All the side roads off King Edward Street were once full of dock workers’ houses, the quayside being a short walk away. Now, as the large container ships are to be seen passing the end of the street and with a full modernisation programme well underway courtesy of grants from many different agencies, the culture and a new sense of wellbeing is about to flood through this once incredibly busy but still very proud town.

REDHILL FARM

Redhill Farm celebrates 20th Anniversary with Great Taste Awards success Farmers Terry and Jane Tomlinson are celebrating winning a fine food ‘Oscar’ in the 20th year of Redhill Farm Free Range Pork.

This year’s Great Taste Awards attracted almost 13,000 entries with only 1.5% achieving the highest 3 Star rating. Redhill Farm earned three of these coveted 3 Star Awards along with the ultimate accolade, the fine food Oscar for this region, known as the Golden Fork, only seven of which are handed out each year.

Jane and Terry joined the judges and other nominees on the red carpet in London for the awards ceremony, the highlight of the year for the fine food industry.

Jane said: “A Great Taste 3 Star is incredibly hard to come by and has been likened to a Michelin Star for food, so for us to be awarded three of them is very rare and a fantastic surprise. To be topped off with our fine food Oscar really does make all the hard work worthwhile!”

She added: “The 20-year anniversary of our business is a real milestone for us. We have proven that it is possible to build a sustainable business based on quality, provenance and authenticity, without the need to cut corners or lower standards. We are proud to have received national recognition for our free range meat and for our farm, year on year. For us to have achieved this level of

REDHILL FARM – GREAT TASTE 2019 GOLDEN FORK WINNERS

success at the Great Taste Awards in our 20th year is the icing on the cake.”

Looking to the future there are new products in the pipeline and the next generation of Tomlinsons are joining the business with son George now managing the Farm Shop in the Bail.

“For us winning national awards is an important way to benchmark our produce and prove its quality, but our focus always remains on our farm, our produce and our customers. Our aim now is to reinforce the message that national award-winning produce is available right here in Lincolnshire and to encourage people to eat less meat but to eat the best quality.” www.redhillfarm.com TRADITIONAL BAKED & GLAZED HAM Time to prepare: 10 min Time to cook: 20-30 min/lb INGREDIENTS Redhill Farm dry cured ham joint Cloves (optional) Demerara sugar Strong English mustard

A Lincolnshire Life Magazine publication

PAGE 04.indd 2

METHOD: Set oven to Gas Mark 3, 325F, 160C, or Top oven Aga. Place ham in the centre of a roasting tin on top of a large piece of tin foil.

Wrap foil up and over the ham leaving room for air to circulate round the ham and seal all edges so that the steam will not escape. (Use two pieces of foil crossed if cooking a large ham.)

Bake in the oven for 20 min/lb for ham on the bone, and 30 min/lb for boned ham joints.

Take out of the oven before the last 30 min to glaze.

Turn oven up to Gas Mark 7, 425F, 220C, Top oven Aga. Remove foil and discard.

Place ham on board to work.

Score the rind in strips with a sharp knife and peel off leaving some fat on the ham for glazing. If using cloves, score the surface in a diamond pattern and stud the centre of each diamond with a clove. Spread a layer of strong English mustard over the surface and then sprinkle on a good layer of Demerara sugar until all the mustard is well covered.

Put back in hot oven in a roasting tin for approx 20 min until golden brown.

Remove from roasting tin and leave to cool.

Foodie gifts are always a popular choice, and a great opportunity for kids to get involved. Rachel has come up with a great alternative to the traditional desserts with an Amaretti roulade and we’ve used some Eastern influence to create a monkfish curry.

Christmas tree firelighters METHOD: Line an old 12-hole cake tin with paper cupcake cases.

Remove the metal container from around 12 tea lights and place the candles, wick side up in the centre of each paper case, making sure that the wicks are standing upright.

Put the cake tin into a warm oven approx. 80°C and allow to melt fully.

Remove the tray from the oven and place on a surface to cool slightly. You can now add your choice of either colour or flavourings. Into each molten candle, I added some dried orange rind, a bit of bay, 3 cloves and 2 cardamom pods.

Push the wick gently to the side of the paper case and place a fir cone on top, allowing the wick to

still protrude from the side.

Repeat 12 times and allow to cool.

Once cool and set, remove the fir cone candles from the paper cases and tie a little ribbon bow on top to make them look like Christmas trees.

These firelighters are a lovely gift to take to people and when they burn, they smell lovely and Christmassy.

HARBOUR SEAL

Playful mermaids of the sea

By Barbara Meyer We hear about seals when they come ashore to give birth to their pups, or when there are issues for the seals like the tidal surge back in December 2013 – or the problems posed by plastic waste and fishing nets. However, did you know that grey and harbour seals are the only two subspecies breeding in Britain? And that they live along the Lincolnshire coastline all year around.

A SEAL WITH SCARS FROM A FRISBEE RING INJURY

THE GREY SEAL IS THE LARGEST CARNIVORE IN BRITAIN

GREY SEAL WITH PUP AT DONNA NOOK

Seals can be found all around the globe. Their stronghold in the UK is Scotland, though their distribution stretches along many parts of Britain’s coast. Donna Nook near Cleethorpes has, for example, one of the largest grey seal breeding colonies in the UK and The Wash near Boston has one of the highest densities of harbour seals.

The grey seal population around the British Isles is estimated at approximately 150,000, which is around 40% of the global grey seal population. Their distribution extends across the North and East Atlantic, plus the North and Baltic Sea. In comparison the population of the harbour seal, also called the common seal, is estimated to be around only 45,100. Their global distribution is across

the North Atlantic and North Pacific – stretching from the Artic to the subtropics.

Both seal subspecies spend most of their time in the sea and are counted when it is most likely that most of the seals wiil be out of the water.

Grey seals are counted when they come ashore to give birth to their pups and stay ashore for about three weeks.

As harbour seal pups are born with their waterproof adult fur coat and the adults don’t stay on haul-out sites for prolonged periods at this time, they are counted when they moult in August.

Besides the difference regarding the seal pups’ coat and grey seals and their pups staying on land when giving birth, there is also a difference in view of when seal pups are born.

A Lincolnshire Life Magazine publication

PAGE 10-12.indd 3

Harbour seal pups are born in summer, around June time.

The time when grey seals are born varies geographically.

At Donna Nook the grey seals come ashore from late October until December.

Further south in Norfolk it is from late November until January and in Cornwall the grey seal pupping season is in August/September.

The best place to see grey seals in Lincolnshire is at Donna Nook when they give birth to their pups. It is more difficult to watch harbour seals in their natural habitat as they haul-out on sand banks and other more remote areas.

However, if you take a cruise on the Boston Belle, you have a chance to see them resting on the mudflats in the estuary of the River Welland.

The two seal subspecies can

be distinguished by their size, the shape of the head and nostrils. The harbour seal has a more roundish head, V-shaped nostrils and is significantly smaller. Harbour seals weigh up to a maximum of 100kg while a male grey seal can reach up to 300kg and females up to 200kg.

The food sources are similar for both seal subspecies and include cod, haddock, plaice, sole and squid. The fish the seals feed on is one of their problems. They are competing with our consumption and commercial harvesting of these fish species.

Other problems for seals are also related to our doing.

Our litter often ends up in the sea and many of these items, including frisbee rings mean seals get caught in them and either sustain

severe injuries or are unable to feed themselves.

Last but not least, seals are also frequently disturbed by people walking too close to them, allowing dogs to get too close to them or riding boats or jet skis right up to where the seals are resting. Please remember, we are visiting their natural habitat, meaning their home.

We need to leave them space and, for example, take photos only from a safe distance (safe for us and for the seals/wildlife).

You can help the animals if you see an injured or weak seal on the beach by contacting the British Diver Marine Life Rescue (07738 596100 or lincolnshire@ bdmlr.org.uk), the RSPCA

(0300 1234 999) or the local seal sanctuaries.

The local seal sanctuaries here in Lincolnshire are the Natureland Seal Sanctuary in Skegness and the Mablethorpe Seal Sanctuary and Wildlife Centre. Each of the seal sanctuaries in Lincolnshire has a designated rescue area along the coast.

The Skegness based sanctuary covers the area from Boston up to Anderby Creek and from there the Mablethorpe Seal Sanctuary takes over.

A visit to either of these sanctuaries is well worth it, as you can see both seal subspecies, learn about them and the work of the seal sanctuaries as well as how we can help to protect the seals and enjoy

watching them in their natural habitat safely.

If you are a photographer, bring a long zoom lens. At Donna Nook, you will have some of the seals relatively close to the viewing area, but most of them are further away.

I usually walk the entire trail to see what is going on and then position myself to take photos of activities like pups feeding and/or interacting with their mum and also the interaction of adult seals.

During the pupping season the main area used by the seals at Donna Nook is completely off-limits to visitors, but watching from the path along the mudflats provides you with good opportunities to see the seals, and the volunteer

wardens of the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust are doing an excellent job of keeping the seals and visitors safe.

If you walk on other beaches, at Gibraltar Point, for instance, and see seals, please stay at least 100 metres away and keep your dog on the lead – well away from seals.

Saying this, watching and photographing seals is one of the most rewarding experiences.

RECIPES

It's a game changer We’ve teamed up with the British Game Alliance and Eat Wild to bring our readers some new ways of using local game to create mouth-watering recipes.

Pulled mallard pizza Starting with a shopbought margherita pizza, this tasty recipe couldn’t be simpler; just top with your slow-roasted pulled mallard, extra cheese and rocket, then serve with punchy sriracha mayo.

If you’d like the extra challenge and have a pizza oven of your own, whip up the pizza from scratch.

Serves: 2 INGREDIENTS: 1x large stone-baked margherita pizza 4x mallard legs 25g sriracha sauce 100g mayo 25g strong cheddar, grated Rocket METHOD: Dry the mallard legs with a kitchen cloth, place in a deep tray and cover with vegetable oil.

Slow roast the mallard for 1 hour 30 minutes in a

warm oven at 140 degrees.

It’s ready when the meat is soft.

Take the legs out of the oil and leave to cool. Once cool enough to handle, gently shred the meat from the bone; it should fall away easily.

To make the sriracha mayo, simply mix the sriracha into the mayonnaise with a fork.

Put your pizza on a baking tray and top evenly with the pulled mallard, then sprinkle over the grated cheddar.

Cook the pizza in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for 10 minutes, or until the cheese has started to brown.

Remove from the oven, cut into slices and serve on a board or plate, then sprinkle a couple of handfuls of fresh rocket leaves on top. Spoon blobs of the mayonnaise on to the pizza or serve in a small dish for dipping.

Slow roast pheasant ramen If you’re having friends over at the weekend these traditional ramen noodles are certain to impress, and mildly flavoured pheasant is the perfect starting point for those who have never tried game before. Set a little time aside to prepare the stock, as it really benefits from a long, slow simmer.

Serves: 4 INGREDIENTS: For the stock: 50g lemongrass 20g chilli 1 litre chicken stock 50g ginger, chopped 50g galangal, chopped 30g palm sugar 20ml fish sauce 50ml soy sauce For the noodles: 4x pheasant breasts 2x leeks 3x carrots 1x tin of bamboo shoots 1x pre-cooked ramen noodles

50g coriander, chopped 30g spring onions, chopped METHOD: First, start infusing the stock.

Bring the 1 litre of chicken stock to the boil with the chilli, lemongrass, ginger, galangal and all of the palm sugar. Season with soy and fish sauce, then bring back to the boil and simmer for an hour.

While the stock simmers, warm the oven to 140 degrees and julienne your leeks, carrots, and bamboo.

That means slicing the vegetables into very skinny strips, usually around 5cm long. Set them aside.

When the oven’s hot enough, season the pheasant breasts with a touch of salt and pepper, place on a baking tray and roast for around 20 minutes.

Saving the liquid, strain your stock through a colander then re-boil and check the seasoning; it should be slightly hot and salted with

News from Bottomley Distillers We are very excited to share with you all that has been happening in our distillery.

We opened our doors at the start of the summer, welcoming parties for our Tour + Tasting experience and also our Gin School experience. You can book yourself in to come along, or they are perfect gifts.

Our gin school experience is where you curate and distil your very own spirit! You’ll have a few G&Ts along the way to finally bottling your creation and finishing by making your own G&T with your very own gin!

Our gin school houses three alembic copper pot stills and we recommend two people per still, but this can be pushed to three. Our Tour + Tasting experience is enjoyed either with lots of small groups or any bookings of six or more and we will count this as a private party so that you get the tasting room to yourselves.

At the beginning of the year we re-launched our range in their beautiful new square bottles. We are so pleased with the release of this, and the change from our Strawberry Infused into Premium Pink.

We are going to be adding to our range with a Valencian Orange and a Spiced variety, just in time for the winter months. We are really excited for the addition to our brand and look forward to hearing what everyone thinks!

We are currently casking our Lincolnshire Grain Single Malt. We are very excited for what this will bring to the county. We use Lincolnshire Grain, which is malted in Grantham and then distilled into spirit at our distillery in Louth. We will be taking orders for private cask commissions and pre-orders for the first bottle releases which will be three years and one day after the first cask is sealed!

RECIPE

Brackenborough Hall Coach House – Game Pie BRACKENBOROUGH HALL COACH HOUSE

Brackenborough Hall Coach House, award-winning self-catering accommodation near Louth (www.BrackenboroughHall. com), is at the centre of Brackenborough Hall Farm where there is an abundance of wildlife. Paul and Flora live there and welcome selfcatering guests to the Coach House all year round. They regularly see pheasants, ducks, pigeons, hares, rabbits and deer. During the winter months the Bennett family often eat game from the farm and Flora has devised this recipe for game pie which easily and economically feeds large numbers.

In nearby Louth, game can be purchased seasonally from the poulterer, Dales, or from the several butchers. The Lincolnshire sausage meat adds flavour to the dish and balances the lean game. Flora often uses pheasant and duck but adapts the recipe to what is available. The vegetables come from the wonderful Victorian Kitchen Garden at Brackenborough Hall and are different each time. Flora

HEALING MANOR

The Pig & Whistle at Healing Manor Hotel awarded two rosettes by AA inspector Taking over just over a year ago, owners Steven Bennett and Charlotte Hay alongside their team have transformed Healing Manor and the Pig & Whistle into a local dining delight.

The Pig & Whistle pub serves locally sourced ingredients with a modern twist. It offers a bar and À La Carte menu, is family and dog-friendly and serves food seven days a week.

The kitchen is led by Steven Bennett, who is a huge ambassador for the ingredients grown and sourced locally.

Steven said: “Whilst we’ve been working towards a tworosette status, we wanted to ensure that our customer service and food were consistent and the best we can offer.

"As a chef, it’s easy to get wrapped up in the creativity of dishes, but here at the Pig & Whistle we serve a combination of pub classics, including steaks, burgers, fish and chips

and salads, and then come the evening Monday to Saturday, we also serve our À La Carte menu, which showcases some of the best seasonal ingredients we have here on our doorstep in Grimsby and Lincolnshire.

For anyone wanting to join us on a Sunday, we serve a traditional Sunday roast and a Specials menu in the evening.”

The hotel and pub also utilise the 36 acres of grounds with Charlotte’s mum, Linda Hay maintaining the edible flower

and herb beds, and the kitchen team foraging from onsite woodland, which boasts pear, apple and walnut trees.

The team at Healing Manor are now opening their restaurant The Portman on Friday and Saturday evenings and for Sunday lunches, due to the success of the Pig & Whistle. Booking is strongly recommended. Please note that The Portman is not dogfriendly, unlike The Pig and Whistle.

Sharing the stories of local suppliers The award-winning team behind Healing Manor Hotel have introduced a new initiative to their restaurants to highlight their commitment to using quality food and drink specifically from local suppliers.

The ‘Meet the Supplier’ campaign will introduce the faces behind the ingredients served each month in the Pig & Whistle and at The Portman Restaurant at Healing Manor Hotel – and share

their stories, alongside the importance of understanding the supply chain and sustainability behind each ingredient.

Charlotte Hay, director at Healing Manor said: “With food and running costs on the up and ‘Brexit’ on the horizon, it’s becoming increasingly important for businesses, both small and large, to take responsibility for the sustainability of their offerings and the supply chain behind

Another berry good year for annual Strawberry Fayre Hundreds of people enjoyed festivities at Galley Hill Farm in Alford back in July when it held its Annual Strawberry Fayre.

The public were welcomed to the farm to pick strawberries, enjoy cream teas and a hog roast, as well as a bouncy castle for the children and homemade jam stands – proving extremely popular, as the hog roast disappeared.

The annual event has raised funds for Marie Curie Lincolnshire for the past four years with a target of £10,000 which has been smashed. This year was no exception and raised £5,400 – bringing the running total raised to over £12,000.

Second generation farmer owners Ian Scaman and his

wife Sandra explain: “The event is always very well supported – we enjoy raising money for such a good cause as we as a family have used the services. This year Ian decided to shave off his infamous beard for the cause.”

Ian joked: “I decided to shave off my beard, which helped to raise over an additional £1,500. By shave, I mean shear. In true farm style, with a sheep shearer!”

The video of Ian’s beard shearing can be found on the farm’s Facebook page – Galley Hill Farm.

The money raised from this year’s event has paid for a further 270 hours of night-time nursing within the county for terminally ill patients within their homes. This means that

patients are given the choice to be able to stay at home with their loved ones.

Lauren Alexander, community fundraiser for Marie Curie Lincolnshire, added: “I would like to express our gratitude to everyone who helps towards making the Fayre a huge success; especially the

Scaman family and helpers who year on year amaze us with their dedication to our cause.”

The Lincoln Distillery – distilling the spirit of Lincoln It’s been a busy year for The Lincoln Distillery – Lincoln’s first commercial copper pot distillery – and distiller, Matthew Felgate. After selling the first bottle of his inaugural product Lincoln Gin in June 2018, the premium brand has become a staple of the Lincolnshire market and beyond.

With the recent ‘ginaissance’ in full swing, Lincoln Gin has established itself at the perfect time.

Combining a smooth, flavourful London dry gin, made from locally inspired botanicals, with its iconic branding, Lincoln Gin is fast becoming the drink of choice for any occasion.

Matthew has created a further three new gin recipes, plus a gin liqueur and a fruit infusion are in development.

Work has already begun on his cask aged gin; 20 litre virgin oak pin casks have been filled with Lincoln Gin and have rested for around

six months so far. Opting for a smaller sized cask with a greater wood to gin ratio means the aging process is accelerated and can impart flavours and colours akin to a mature spirit such as whisky or rum. This step has been an exciting one,

into the unknown, for The Lincoln Distillery; taking their signature, small batch (30 bottles) gin and having its complex flavour profile transform, with its interaction with the oak, into an exciting new product.

Other new developments include teaming up with the University of Lincoln to offer engineering and business students the opportunity to use the distillery as the subject of their Masters/PhD projects.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Everything you knead to know for Sourdough November Bread-lovers are being invited by the bakers at The School of Artisan Food to rise to the real bread challenge by honing their sourdough skills at quickfire, starter sessions with resident expert, David Carter.

David is running the 2.5hour evening workshop at The School on 9th November. The workshop takes its inspiration from Sourdough September, the month-long event by the Real Bread Campaign to raise awareness of the real thing vs ‘sourfaux’, the name given to inferior mass-produced fake sourdough using cheaper ingredients, additives and baking shortcuts.

“I’m keen to show how easy it can be to make a fantastic loaf. All that’s needed to make real sourdough bread is flour, water, time for the yeasts to develop and a few simple techniques. The flavour is far superior to mass-produced bread and it will last longer too,” he says.

Sharing his tips and secrets to making, looking after and using a sourdough starter, David will finish a part prepared loaf during the workshop. Each of his bakers will get to taste some delicious bread and to take away a small portion of sourdough starter to practice bread baking at home.

Set up to teach all aspects of artisan food production, The School is well placed to share its expertise in the making of ‘real’ bread using the slow fermentation artisan process, which rarely features in the supermarket version of so-called ‘sourdough’. As there is no legal definition for sourdough or artisan bread, there is little to prevent those terms being used to market any loaf regardless of how it’s made, leading to the Real Bread Campaign to call for better labelling.

Wayne Caddy, head of baking at The School of Artisan Food, who has made a series of how to make sourdough videos for The

WAYNE CADDY TEACHING

School’s YouTube channel, explains: “A good sourdough should reflect the character of the grain. It’s the baker’s job to get the best out of the grain. Similar to wine, the grape often determines the character of wine; sourdough bread is no different.

“Dough with very little fermentation, such as a mass produced loaf, contains much higher levels of gluten. If you imagine gluten like an elastic band – tough, strong and resistant – this gives your gut a rigorous workout.

Long-term consumption of gluten-rich breads may lead to gluten intolerance.”

LINCOLN CITY STARS TOM PETT AND BRUNO ANDRADE

A brand new Lincoln City Football Club themed coffee is set to take to the pitch, and you can take it with you home or away.

Hot drinks producer The Lincoln Tea and Coffee Company, Lincoln City FC and Lincolnshire Co-op have teamed up to introduce a new ‘imptastic’ blend of coffee that will be sold at the club’s stadium and in stores.

The ground coffee will be served at Sincil Bank Stadium in the Legends Lounge, VIP Lounge and hospitality boxes. And it is currently available to buy in almost 40 Lincolnshire Co-op stores in

CELEBRATING THE LINCOLN CITY FOOTBALL COFFEE BLEND

and around the Lincoln area for £3.95.

It was launched at the Lincolnshire Show with the help of star players Bruno Andrade and Tom Pett. With each packet The Lincoln Tea and Coffee Company will be donating 20p to the Lincoln City Foundation, which helps to create opportunities that inspire and empower individuals and communities.

All three organisations have played pivotal roles in bringing the drink to life.

The Lincoln Tea and Coffee Company supplied the ingredients, Lincolnshire Co-op designed the packaging and Lincoln City FC staff helped choose the blend.

The coffee was chosen after a blind

tasting session at the club. The 100% Arabica ground coffee has a full bodied and creamy taste with butterscotch and milk chocolate sweetness, soft citrus acidity and a long nutty finish – perfect for warming up on match day.

The Lincoln Tea and Coffee Company director, Susie Carlisle said: “We wanted to produce a quality blend people can enjoy at home that is also available to taste at the ground. It’s nice to see local businesses come together to do something positive and the funds we raise for the Lincoln City Foundation will hopefully make a difference in the community.”

Lincoln’s new artisan bakery Emma Vine, owner of Vine’s Bakery, switched career from academic to artisan baker, to follow in the footsteps of three previous generations of her family.

Caroline Bingham made an early start to meet Emma and her team at their bakehouse.

ROB TAYLOR, EMMA VINE AND EMMA CRAWFORD

VINE’S BAKERY

Well, 7.30am felt like an early start to me but bakers, of course, shrug that off as halfway through their day. Emma travels in from Boston while head baker, Rob Taylor, only has a tenminute walk to begin his working day between 3am and 4am. Assistant baker, Emma Crawford, commutes from the Wolds but by 5am the bakehouse, in a small city centre commercial unit, is a hive of activity.

Emma began the business in November 2018 and opened the Steep Hill retail shop in April. “It was much harder than I had anticipated to find suitable premises,” said Emma, “but in each case I grabbed the opportunities when they arose, which has made this year very busy indeed.“ She explained that her previous careers have ranged from roadie to academia – as a lecturer in psychology at Sheffield Hallam University – but her family’s roots lay in the East End of London, where her great grandfather Charlie established a bakery in Limehouse Causeway in 1904.

By the 1950s her grandfather Ed had built this into a small chain of outlets covering south and east London.

“My great, great grandfather Edwin had been the first baker in the family, laying the foundations for the reputation Vine’s Bakery had for fine quality and tasty products. His grandson, Ed (known as Guppy) was a multiple gold medal winning baker whose business even survived the Blitz.”

Emma’s father worked shifts in the bakery as a schoolboy but wanted to pursue his own career as an engineer.

Subsequently, the bakery and shops were sold to Aerated

Bakeries in the late 1950s just prior to the Chorleywood Bread Making process industrialising bread making in the early 1960s.

Boston became Emma’s hometown when her father relocated his family there for his work. “It had been my ambition for a long time, though, to re-establish the family business and my first steps were to enrol on a Professional Baking Course at the School of Artisan Food at Welbeck. There is a huge difference between home baking and the skills required for advanced, larger scale production. The school has experts such as head of baking, Wayne Caddy and Yvonne O’Donovan, head of business and enterprise on hand to advise bakers wanting to start their own artisan bakery.”

It was the school who recommended Rob and Emma (both graduates of Welbeck) as potential recruits and with support from her family and the Welbeck advisors, Emma launched nearly a year ago. The investment in premises, ovens, mixers, staff and equipment has been considerable. Each artisan baker I have interviewed is evangelical about the quality, taste and health benefits of eating slow-fermented bread over fast raised, industrially produced loaves.

Emma and her team are the same. Investment is also considerable in using the best quality ingredients to produce the finest end product. “We have really bonded together and have worked closely to develop our own recipes using the highest quality ingredients to achieve the best possible taste and flavours.”

begins on Tuesday, which is a prep day, then they bake Wednesday to Sunday. The retail shop on Steep Hill is open Wednesday to Sunday.

The range of products is broad and growing all the time, from tasty sourdoughs to indulgent pastries. The house sourdough, which is similar to a Pain de campagne, is the base for other speciality breads such as a six-seeded loaf or rye sourdough. There is a traditional white, London, large tin loaf as well as a Deli Rye, Challah, Fougasse flavoured with Stilton, baguettes and a rustic French loaf.

Emma is the house confectioner and has been working on the range of croissant, Viennoiserie and bakes. There are bagels,

croissants, pain au chocolat as well as daily specials. While Emma and I chatted, Rob was making a traditional Breton confection, Kouign-amann, a triple butter laminated dough which caramelises with sugar to a crisp rose shaped individual cake. While I watched the skill involved with fascination, assistant baker Emma had been loading the van ready for city deliveries to wholesale customers and to the retail shop.

I followed along to Steep Hill and met shop manager Sophie Robinson who busily began to get the baskets and cake stands set out with fresh displays. Emma went on to tell me that the wholesale side of the business is growing steadily. “We are producing some own label products

A Lincolnshire Life Magazine publication

PAGE 24-26.indd 4

for local businesses as well as supplying cafés, farm shops and restaurants. We are also working on a whey bread in association with Cote Hill Cheese. We take some of their whey and mix it with their Linden cheese to make a speciality whey loaf.

These enriched breads are very popular.”

Sophie was stacking the stands with rich brownie squares and New York plum crumb cake which are available along with fresh, takeaway hot drinks. There are macarons and seasonal specials such as honey cake which will be available until the end of October. Orders are also being taken from now until the end of November for Christmas cakes and puddings. There will be more

festive specials in the shop including a Stollen tray bake, gingerbread and a savoury Christmas loaf with chestnuts and cranberries.There are no gluten-free products produced by Vine’s Bakery but some vegan confectionery items are in development.

The shop has a charming collection of framed photographs hanging on the wall with some archive images of Emma’s family and their London bakeries. I feel sure they will be smiling down, knowing that although the call may have skipped a generation, the baking gene is alive and well in Emma Vine.

Studies show health benefits of drinking coffee In June 2019, Seven Districts Coffee, a Lincolnshire based specialty coffee roasting company undertook research into the health benefits of drinking coffee. With their business focused around providing the best quality coffee, they want to be at the forefront of education and insight with regard to the benefits of the drink.

Among the top health risks which coffee is known to reduce the effects of are: Type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease while mental performance has been shown to be boosted.

Coffee is more than a caffeine delivery system. It has more than 1,000 different compounds, including organic acids, sugars, amino acids and fatty acids which have been proven to help

reduce the risk of certain health issues.

The Specialty Coffee Association has reported a staggering 2-10% of the European and American population who are over the age of 65 years old are said to be affected by Alzheimer’s disease. Furthermore, around 3% of people aged over 65 in the US are affected by Parkinson’s disease. Worryingly, these numbers are predicted to be on the rise. Which begs the question, what can help prevent the risk?

Polyphenols, magnesium and chromium can all be found within coffee. These have been found to help lower the risk of Type 2 diabetes. These properties work by improving insulin sensitivity, which helps to offset the opposite effects of caffeine.

In addition to the health

A Lincolnshire Life Magazine publication

PAGE 27.indd 2

issues which coffee is known to help remedy, it has also been found to boost mental performance, meaning the benefits of coffee become widely accessible.

The way in which coffee enhances mental performance is by blocking the chemical adenosine.

This wards off sensations of tiredness which naturally hinder attention and cognitive performance.

What's more, caffeine is known to elevate mood, although some believe this results in withdrawal symptoms.

The research which has been carried out isn’t related specifically to ‘specialty coffee’ or any other specific types of coffee roasts. It is also important that when talking about coffee and the health benefits of drinking coffee, the research relates to brewed, black coffee

with no milk, cream or sugar added to the hot drink.

As a way of improving the industry, it’s important that researchers are pushed in a new direction, one where health professionals are more educated about the specific products they are investigating, so that there is a clearer understanding.

Seven Districts Coffee are a specialty coffee roasting company based in Lincolnshire. Part of their mission is to educate people about the effects of coffee on drinkers and what it can help with.

The beer was named by supporters after over 1,000 people voted in an online poll, deciding that the year that the football club was established would serve as the perfect name for the new brew.

Claire and Karl Brown, directors of the Lincolnshire Brewing Company said: “We are delighted to be furthering our partnership with Lincoln City Football Club with the release of “1884”.

Seasonal drinks from Belvoir ward off the winter chills Belvoir Fruit Farms is looking ahead to colder nights and festive frivolities with the return of five popular seasonal drinks, all hand made using honest ingredients you can trust and which are free from artificial sweeteners, preservatives, flavourings or colourings. Most important of all – they’re delicious!

Honey, Lemon & Ginger Cordial (50cl bottle) – this lovely warming drink is made from freshly pressed lemons and blended with real blossom honey. The spicy kick comes from the fresh ginger that Belvoir cooks on the farm and is just the thing to keep away the winter chill. Enjoy it hot or cold but perhaps try a splash of whisky for a delicious hot toddy – perfect for soothing a sore throat or simply to warm up.

RRP around £3.29 per bottle Mulled Winter Cordial (50cl bottle) – is a rich dark red colour and bursting with flavour. It is an intense fruity blend of cranberry and orange juices complemented by warming winter spices. The cranberry is the dominant flavour, balanced by the

sharpness of the orange, fruity blackcurrant and a touch of lime with cinnamon and nutmeg. The cranberry adds a slightly tart, mouth-drying note. Designed to be drunk with gently warmed water, it’s equally delicious blended with cold, and for a truly festive touch, try it as a warming hot toddy with a dash of rum or vodka. RRP £4.90 per bottle Ruby red Belvoir Festive Fruit Punch (75cl bottle) – offers a mouth-watering combination of the rich, fruity taste of real cranberry and orange juices, with a splash of blackcurrant and lime juice and the lingering hint of cinnamon and nutmeg, all blended with natural spring water so it’s ready to drink.

Since launching in 2011, Visit Lincoln has helped grow the value of the city’s visitor economy by over 30% to £216 million, and it has ambitious plans to do the same with Lincolnshire’s food and drink sector.

Hayley Toyne, project manager for the initiative says: “We promote food and drink providers in our marketing of the city because it is, and always has been, a very important part of the visitor experience when people come to stay.

“Taste Lincolnshire now allows us to take that thinking countywide. We want to make it easier for visitors and local shoppers alike to find locally sourced produce and in turn, support the local economy. Latest research shows that GOOD TASTE LINCOLNSHIRE

If partners are sellers or servers in the county (for example one of Lincolnshire’s fantastic cafes or restaurants), the business must have multiple locally produced items on their menu that satisfy the project’s criteria.

As important as the criteria are, Hayley stresses that businesses should also be able to clearly demonstrate their commitment to the overall ethos of Taste Lincolnshire.

Over time the team are determined to make this the ‘go to’ place to search for inspiration on Lincolnshire food and drink, and it will become home to lots of different content including recipes, local food events, and also tell the stories of the producers behind many of the county’s culinary brands.

One of the most visible ways that diners especially can look out for Taste Lincolnshire endorsed establishments in the future is to look out for the new VisitEngland ‘Taste Lincolnshire’ logo.

The newly relaunched national Taste accreditation scheme from VisitEngland can by accessed through ‘Destination Management Organisations’ or DMOs, like Visit Lincoln. Businesses choose to enter the VisitEngland Taste scheme, and if successful in securing this internationally recognised Local Food Accolade, their award will say Taste Lincolnshire under the Tudor Rose logo.

A Lincolnshire spokesperson from VisitEngland Assessments commented: “It makes perfect sense for VisitEngland to collaborate with Taste Lincolnshire on this project. It’s really important for VisitEngland to see the range and quality of locally sourced items on an establishment’s menu. Diners know that they can trust our Tudor Rose logo; and now along with the Taste Lincolnshire endorsement too – the Local Food Accolade will signpost that businesses are using and promoting local ingredients and suppliers. We look forward to working with new partners and spreading the message about quality Lincolnshire food and drink.”

Show back in June of this year. Over the two days of the Show, the Taste Lincolnshire sponsored food court and Lincolnshire Kitchen were an absolute hive of activity. Founding Taste Lincolnshire Ambassadors and renowned Lincolnshire chefs Rachel Green and Colin McGurran were drawing the crowds – Rachel with her always exuberant and always packed cookery demonstrations; and Colin with his book signings and passionate talk about using local and seasonal ingredients.

The crowds were also treated to a wonderful ‘flash mob’ style performance from Washingborough Academy who worked with the Taste team to pull together a surprise rendition of Food Glorious Food! The Year 6 students pulled off a charming performance and even made the ITV News! Working with the next generation of food shoppers and home cooks is a really important area that the project would like to develop in the coming months. Watch this space for more on that as the school year progresses.

Finally, as plans for Taste Lincolnshire take Visit Lincoln into exciting new partnerships with businesses in the county, marketing director Charlotte Goy comments: “Our team at Visit Lincoln are a confirmed bunch of foodies, and take great pride in championing the many fantastic places to eat and drink in the county, and the huge range of producers that make Lincolnshire a food lover’s haven. I have to say I’m really looking forward to working with all our new Taste Lincolnshire partners – and getting to grips with the vibrant food and drink scene in the county. What better way to help visitors experience Lincolnshire than to sample the best food and drink it has to offer!”

Parma Ham recipes for autumn Perfect for a delicious lunchtime snack or warming weeknight meal.

With the summer now over, it’s time to pack up your beach gear. As you get back into your daily routine, it can be challenging to find

the time to prepare healthy but delicious meals that the whole family will enjoy.

Thankfully, these recipes with Parma Ham are made to

help busy parents get back into the swing of things.

Our flatbread with Parma Ham can be prepared as a quick snack or lunch for your

kids to pack up and take to school, and the Parma Ham, potato and rosemary soup is perfect for an easy weeknight dinner.

Flatbread with Parma Ham, mozzarella and cherry tomatoes INGREDIENTS: 250g strong Manitoba flour 250g flour type 2 (with fibre) 2 tsp salt 7g brewer’s yeast, freezedried 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 300ml warm water To serve: 200g Parma Ham 20 cherry tomatoes, chopped 2 chillis, chopped 2 pieces Mozzarella di Bufala, drained and sliced Basil Extra virgin olive oil Salt

Divide the dough into pieces weighing about 60g each and, with a dusted rolling pin, roll out the dough to thin discs of roughly the same size.

Leave the dough discs to prove for 5-10 min.

Heat a large pan over medium heat, place one disc at a time in it, and cook for 2-3 min on either side.

Serve the flatbread stuffed with the dressed cherry tomatoes, Parma Ham and slices of mozzarella.

METHOD: Mix both types of flour with the salt, yeast and oil in a large bowl. Add the amount of water required to obtain a soft ball. Knead for 5 minutes.

Place the ball in a slightly greased bowl, cover, and leave to prove until doubled in volume.

Meanwhile, dress the tomatoes with the chilli, salt oil, and crumbled basil.

BerryWorld cranberry glazed ham Serves: 8 INGREDIENTS: For the Ham: 2kg-2.5kg gammon joint 500ml dry cider or apple juice 4 cloves 1 cinnamon stick 1 bay leaf For the Glaze: 200g cranberries 6 tbsp maple syrup 1 tbsp whole grain mustard 6 cloves 1 bay leaf 1 cinnamon stick 1 orange, zest only Preheat oven to 160C/140C fan.

METHOD: Put the ham into a snugly fitting oven dish and pour over the cider or apple juice. Top up with water until the pan is half full. Add the spices and bay leaf to the liquid and cover the whole thing tightly with two layers of non-stick foil. Put in the oven and bake for 4 hours.

After 2 hours carefully check the liquid level and add a little water if there’s

less than half of the liquid remaining.

While the gammon is cooking make the glaze. Put all of the glaze ingredients into a saucepan and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes until the mixture becomes thick. Set aside.

After 4 hours remove the ham from the oven and carefully remove the foil and pour away the liquid.

Turn the oven up to 200C/180C. When the ham is cool enough to handle, cut away the skin leaving a layer of fat. Score slashes into the fat to create a diamond pattern.

Discard the whole spices from the glaze then spoon and spread half of it over the ham. Return to the oven for 20 minutes or until the outside of the ham is sizzling. Serve, with the remaining sauce, as part of a buffet, main meal or sandwiches.

Note: This method of cooking will produce a meltingly succulent ham so don’t worry if it doesn’t cut into perfect slices, it’s just as easy to serve it pulled into chunks and pieces.

Once the asparagus is done, place on a plate and top with the gremolata and enjoy.

Toffee BerryWorld cranberry puddings INGREDIENTS: 110g butter, softened 175g soft light brown sugar 2 free range eggs 1 tsp vanilla essence 110g wholemeal selfraising flour 50g cranberries, chopped 1-2 tbsp milk Sauce: 110g cranberries 4 tbsp water 110g soft light brown sugar 25g butter 50ml double cream Preheat oven to 180C/Gas mark 4 350F. METHOD: Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Then blend in the eggs, vanilla, flour and cranberries, adding a little

milk if necessary to give a fairly soft consistency.

Spoon the mixture into lightly greased individual pudding basins. Cover each loosely with a piece of greased greaseproof paper. Place on a baking tray and bake for 25-30 minutes until well risen and just firm.

For the sauce place the cranberries in a saucepan with the water and sugar and heat gently until the cranberries pop and burst and the sauce reduces a little. Stir in the butter and continue for a few minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes slightly syrupy.

To serve turn out the puddings and pour on a little of the cranberry toffee sauce. Serve with thick cream or ice cream and the rest of the sauce.

BerryWorld cranberry gin INGREDIENTS: 200g cranberries 500ml gin 160g sugar 60ml water 750ml sterilised preserving jar Muslin METHOD: Wash the cranberries and put into a sterilised preserving jar. Pour over the gin, seal the lid and put in a dark cool cupboard to steep for at least 4 weeks. In the first week invert the bottle every other day and once a week for the rest of the time.

Once the berries have steeped and you’re ready to bottle, put the sugar and

water into a small saucepan over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.

Strain the now flavoured gin into a jug through some muslin.

Add the sugar syrup and stir.

Pour the finished gin into a sterilised bottle and label.

Note: The gin will be more or less sweet as the natural sweetness of the berries varies. It’s a good idea to add half of the sugar syrup and try, add more to suit the berries and your taste.
